Why should customers trust your closed source app, when no one but you can inspect the implementation?

I plan to open source the app, once it is a bit well known. In the meantime, you can easily observe what the application does by replacing the shell on the server side. The database uses SQLCipher, which is open source, and for SSH, I used JSCH, which is open source too.

So here's a confusion I'm having; your site doesn't clearly define what the product does in my preliminary scanning of the website... Is it an SSH client that I can run commands from? Or is an interface for script calling on a remote host with the touch of a button?

What's the $5/$3 incentive for me to use this instead of using the free apps I already have for SSH'ing on Android/iPhone, and just having bash scripts saved into my home dir?

It calls scripts on the server side, and generates a UI from the results. Runnng the scripts with this app will be faster and easier because you don't need to type (and inmost of the free apps done naively,some requests are done for every character typed, so it's very slow). The scripts are all open source, and can be written in any language: https://github.com/Geal/PilotSSH-scripts
