For context, Haven is a fairly new open source (GPLv3) SSH client for Android.

At first when I saw this I was eager to explore it: there isn’t much choice in terms of open source SSH clients for Android. Termius is proprietary, ConnectBot is unmaintained (but recently has had some new activity?) and JuiceSSH was never open source afaik. Currently I am using Termux + openssh but that’s not great either (e.g. no FIDO ssh key support).

However upon further inspection I am a little suspicious that AI is used significantly for a few reasons:

• Claude has contributed a few commits (but not many)
• Some of the markdown files (like VISION.md) read like AI generated text
• The way the author replies to issues and PRs also reads like AI generated text, with heavy use of em dashes and bold text unnecessarily
• The rate of commits and new features seems rather high for a single person working by themselves

Are my suspicions founded? Even if the author uses AI to generate documentation and reply to issues, I’m not sure about the actual code itself. SSH access is quite a sensitive thing so I’d like to know whether the client I am using is built with AI or not. Would appreciate your thoughts.
