Dual-pane SFTP
Browse local and remote side by side. Rename, chmod, edit and delete without leaving the page.
Features
Everything you need to run servers. Nothing you don’t.
Deployments, a browser terminal, playbooks, schedules, files and a vault — all over SSH, all in one place.
Deployments
Zero-downtime releases, on every server
Deploy from Git or a local folder. Each release gets its own directory, and a single symlink switch makes it live — so users never see a half-finished update.
- GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Gitea, Forgejo or any HTTPS Git server
- Shared folders and .env files carried across releases
- Healthchecks with automatic rollback on failure
- Generated systemd units and bash hook functions
- In-place git pull for legacy apps
Rollback in one click
SSH terminal
A full shell for any host, right in your browser
Open a real interactive terminal with one click. Colours, mouse support and full-screen tools like htop, vim and tmux all work as expected.
- Multiple tabs and sessions per host
- Search the scrollback, copy on select, right-click paste
- Broadcast typing to every open tab
- Jump hosts, vault keys and strict host-key checks
- Full UTF-8, emoji and Powerline glyphs

Playbooks & scripts
Automation written in plain, readable YAML
If you know Ansible, you already know PlainShip playbooks. Validate as you type, try a dry run, then save and schedule — every change is versioned.
- 17 modules: shell, copy, template, file, package, service, git and more
- Loops, conditions, handlers, tags and registered results
- Check mode, verbosity levels and start-at-task
- Version history with diff and one-click restore
- Saved scripts with {{ placeholders }} asked at run time
Valid — ready to run
Schedules Pro
Cron jobs you can actually see
Run commands, scripts, playbooks, deploys or health checks on a schedule. Pick a preset or write a cron expression and preview the next runs before you save.
- Presets plus a next-runs preview
- Pause, resume or run now
- Last status and full log for every run
- Runs 24/7 with the built-in scheduler
- Included in the Pro plan
Next run in 14 min
Console & insights
Know what happened, on which host, and why
Output streams live into a searchable console. Afterwards, every job is saved in history, and insights show success rates, slow runs and trends.
- Live console with ok, changed and failed counters
- Filter by tasks, changes or errors
- Save logs as text, ANSI or an HTML report
- 7 to 90-day charts with KPIs and exports
7 to 90-day trends
Teams
Share the work, not the passwords
Invite your team into an organization. Each person signs in with their own account, and you decide who can operate, edit or only view a project.
- Organizations with owner, admin and user roles
- Private data folder for every account
- Project sharing as operator, editor or viewer
- Activity log for every sign-in and change

Files & data
Move files like you move them on your desktop
A dual-pane SFTP browser, drag-and-drop uploads and folder downloads — plus upload and download steps inside your playbooks.
Whole folders, fast
Upload folders by drag and drop and download them as compressed tar.gz streams with progress.
Server to server
Transfer data directly between hosts, even through a jump host, without touching your laptop.
Browse your code
Open repositories, branches and files from any connected Git provider in a read-only viewer.

Generate Ed25519, RSA or ECDSA keys and install them on hosts with one click, like ssh-copy-id.

Press Ctrl+K to jump to any host, script, playbook or action in a few keystrokes.
