Every server.
One window.

features

Your whole fleet, without leaving the keyboard.

Everything rides over plain SSH — no agents to install, no daemons to babysit on the remote side. See every feature →

SSH terminal

Tabbed sessions with per-host colors, favorites, and project groups. Split into four panes with keystroke broadcast. Import hosts straight from ~/.ssh/config.

Jump hosts, chained

Reach servers behind a bastion with ProxyJump — chains resolve automatically, exactly like your ssh_config already does.

Live metrics

CPU, memory, disk, and load streamed over the connection you already have, right in the session header.

Tunnels & SOCKS5

Local and remote port forwarding plus a SOCKS5 proxy over any saved connection. One-click start/stop, live status in the status bar.

Mission-control dashboard

Reachability, CPU sparklines, memory, disk, load, and uptime for every server at once — with alerts when CPU pins or a disk fills up. Then run one command across the fleet and compare outputs and exit codes side by side.

Docker — no agent

Containers, images, live stats, and streaming logs on any host with the docker CLI, all over plain SSH. Start, stop, restart, remove.

SFTP, beside your shell

A standalone browser or a drawer attached to the live session. Upload, download, rename, chmod, and edit files inline with CodeMirror.

Databases & Redis

Postgres, MySQL, and MariaDB with a schema browser, query history, and EXPLAIN. Redis with a key browser and a guarded CLI — destructive commands are blocked.

Kubernetes

Multi-context dashboard for workloads, services, config, nodes, and events. Streamed pod logs, exec, port-forward, scale, and restart.

security

Paranoid by design.

The UI is treated as untrusted. Your secrets never touch a config file. Read the security overview →

OS keychain onlyCredentials live in the system keychain — macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, or libsecret — never in config files.
Sandboxed rendererContext isolation everywhere. Every IPC handler validates its input, and the main process treats the UI as untrusted.
Lock screenOptional Touch ID, PIN, or password with auto-lock when you step away.
Allowlisted file accessSSH keys and kubeconfigs are only readable from allowlisted directories.

Building needs Node.js 20+. Release builds are signed (macOS builds are notarized too). On Linux, install a keyring service (e.g. libsecret-1-0).

Free forever. Yours forever.
