Everything, nothing extra.

A complete SSH workstation that doesn't need a JVM, an Electron runtime, or 800MB of RAM.

>_

Multi-Tab Terminal

Full VTE emulator with 256-color, truecolor, CJK support. 10,000 lines scrollback. Cmd+1-9 tab switching.

🔒

Encrypted Vault

AES-256-GCM + Argon2id. Two-layer envelope encryption. Your passwords never touch disk unencrypted.

⚡

Eternal SSH

Auto-reconnect with tmux session persistence. WiFi drops, VPN resets, laptop sleep — your session survives.

📈

Live Monitoring

CPU, memory, all disk partitions, per-interface network, top 15 processes. Updated every 3 seconds.

📁

SFTP Browser

Navigate remote files, upload/download with progress bars and resume. Quick-edit configs directly in the app.

🌐

Cross-Platform

macOS (ARM64 + Intel), Windows, Linux. Same native experience everywhere. No web runtime.

Under the hood

100% Rust. Zero JavaScript.

No Electron. No WebView. Hardware-accelerated rendering via wgpu.

Trust model

Your credentials, your machine.

Two-layer envelope encryption. Nothing leaves your device unencrypted.

🛡

Password → Argon2id (64MB, 3 passes) → KEK
KEK → AES-256-GCM → DEK → Your Data

  • Master password never stored — only the derived key is used
  • Each connection encrypted with a unique random nonce
  • Vault file is binary noise without the correct password
  • Dedicated exec SSH session — no lock contention with terminal
  • Private keys encrypted at rest, decrypted only in memory
  • Closed-source proprietary — no code exposure risk
