SSH, Mosh, SFTP & local Linux terminal
About this app
Conduit is a local-first terminal workspace for SSH, Mosh, SFTP, and local shells.
It is built for people who need terminals from a phone without creating an account, syncing credentials through a service, or paying a subscription to open a shell.
Connect to remote machines over SSH or Mosh, browse files with SFTP, or run a full Arch Linux shell right on the device - pacman and all - with no root and no remote server.
Features:
* SSH terminal sessions * Local Arch Linux shell on-device (Android, arm64) with pacman, running unprivileged through proot - no root, no server; downloads an Arch Linux ARM image on first use * Mosh roaming for unreliable mobile networks * Tmux auto attach/create per host, with start directories, prefix keys, action shortcuts, and scrollback mode * SFTP file browsing and export * Import SSH private keys from a file, or generate an Ed25519 key on device * Optional passphrase encryption for generated keys, with public-key copy and export * OpenSSH FIDO hardware-key authentication, tested with YubiKey, with multiple hardware keys per host tried in turn * External authentication that lets the SSH server authenticate you without saved credentials * USB and NFC support for CTAP-compatible security keys * Saved machine profiles with tags, search, and sorting by last connected, name, or date added * Local credential and trusted host key storage * Trusted host key prompts and key management * App lock with device authentication when supported * Tabbed terminal workspace * Customizable key row with modifier, navigation, and function keys, key repeat, latching modifiers, and your own text and control-key shortcuts * Fullscreen terminal mode * Terminal themes * Background keepalive through a foreground service
Conduit does not require a Conduit account and does not use a Conduit sync service. Saved connection profiles, credentials, and trusted host keys are stored on device using platform secure storage.
Mosh support requires mosh-server on the remote host and reachable UDP ports. Predictive echo is experimental and opt-in.
The local Arch Linux shell uses tooling packaged by Termux, including proot, proot-distro, busybox, tar, xz, and supporting libraries. Conduit's own source is Apache-2.0; bundled third-party components keep their own licenses. Source-offer details are in THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES and third_party/source-offer.

Open the downloaded APK file from your Downloads folder
Tap "Install" and wait for installation to complete
Launch the app from your home screen
Make sure to re-enable Unknown Sources restrictions after installation for security.
How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be com.gwitko.conduit is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
If the current release misbehaves, 1.4.14-full is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall Conduit first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of Conduit, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.

The signing certificate fingerprint for this release is on record, so a build that does not match it did not come from this publisher.
