Where Does ServerCat Store Server Entries?
ServerCat keeps SSH server entries, credentials, and monitoring widgets in local app storage with iCloud sync. Terminal sessions stay per device.
Last updated
ServerCat monitors servers from local-first storage. SSH entries with credentials, status widgets, Docker overviews, and terminal histories persist per install with iCloud sync bridging Apple devices. No account exists beyond Apple ID.
That makes iCloud the migration with keys as the errand. Exact behaviors may vary by version. Widgets refresh on schedules that balance freshness against battery. Status pages share uptime publicly. Docker lists containers per host. Uptime widgets decorate home screens.
Where ServerCat stores this, by platform
ServerCat app > Servers (local + sync)
Servers local with iCloud sync optional. Exact folder names may vary by version. Re-import SSH keys per policy.
ServerCat app > Servers (local + sync)
Same model as Android with iCloud across Apple devices. Widgets follow the sync. Enable sync before moves.
Frequently asked questions
Do servers sync between devices?
Yes with iCloud sync enabled in settings across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Server entries and widgets arrive together. SSH keys need re-importing per security policy.
How do I add an SSH server?
Add the host with credentials in the server list and test the connection before relying on widgets. Key-based auth beats passwords for daily use. Jump hosts chain through bastions.
