Server Connections

WearSSH stores your server profiles locally on the watch (Room database) so you can reconnect in one tap.

Each server profile has:

Field Description
Name Display label for the server list
Host IP address or hostname
Port TCP port, default 22
Username SSH login user
Auth type PASSWORD or KEY
Favorite Pin the server to the top of the list
  • Password — stored securely on-device via PasswordStore.
  • Key — select any key generated or imported in SSH Keys.

Mark frequently used servers as favorites so they surface first — useful when you manage more than a couple of hosts from a small screen.

If you have the companion phone app installed, servers you add or edit on the watch are pushed to the phone automatically over the Wear OS Data Layer API. This is one-way (watch → phone), so the phone app is a synced viewer, not a second place to create servers. See Phone Companion App.
