BulkHead
Your files. Your servers. Your device.
SFTP, SMB, WebDAV & S3 — the file manager iOS should have had all along
iOS deserves a real file manager
Your phone connects to everything — except your servers. The built-in Files app stops at iCloud and basic SMB. No SFTP. No S3. No WebDAV. For anyone who manages files across protocols and providers, that's not enough.
BulkHead was built to close that gap — a single app for every protocol you actually use, designed from day one for the people who need it most.
Browse & manage your files
Favorites, directories, file metadata — all at your fingertips. Navigate remote servers as naturally as your photo library.
Edit code on the go
Syntax highlighting for 50+ languages. Open, edit, and save files directly on your server.
Preview docs instantly
Render README files and documentation beautifully with full GitHub Flavored Markdown support.
And more built in
