Show HN: Termique, an SSH client with E2E encrypted sync across desktop and iOS

Termique, a new SSH client with end-to-end encrypted sync across desktop and iOS, launched with a Pro plan priced at $4.99/mo, one-third of Termius's price. The tool offers native apps for four platforms, AES-GCM encryption with PBKDF2 key derivation, and features including terminal sessions, SFTP, AI assistance, SSH key store, and command audit logs.

$4.99/mo

Pro plan - one third of what Termius asks

4

Platforms, fully native - desktop and mobile

E2E

Encrypted sync - we only ever store ciphertext

SSH manager with terminal, SFTP, AI, and SSH key store, all built in. #

No plugins, no config files. One tool that handles terminals, keys, SFTP, and AI. The whole job.

Terminal sessions

PTY sessions with multi-tab support. Multiple servers, one window - no third-party terminal needed.

→### End-to-end encryption Credentials encrypted locally with AES-GCM. The server never sees plaintext.

→### Host management

Every server at a glance. Groups and status - organized your way.

→### AI that knows which server you're on

Ask questions scoped to the active host. Commands appear for review before anything runs.

→### SSH key store

See algorithms, copy fingerprints, remove what you don't need - all in one place.

→### Command audit logs

Every command, every session, timestamped. Built for shared hosts and compliance.

→## Synced everywhere,

never in plaintext.

A common question from engineers: are my SSH keys uploaded to the cloud? Short answer - no. Here is exactly what crosses the wire, and what never leaves your machine.

How: credentials are sealed with AES-GCM under a key derived from your master password via PBKDF2 before anything leaves the app. The server only ever receives ciphertext - unrecoverable without your password, by design.

Your credentials never leave your device unencrypted. #

SSH tools handle real credentials for real infrastructure. Here is exactly how we protect yours.

Credentials never leave your device in plaintext

SSH passwords and private keys are encrypted with AES-GCM before they touch the network. The encryption key is derived locally from your master password via PBKDF2 - it never reaches the server.

Your master password is yours alone

We never receive, store, or have any way to recover your master password. Key derivation is fully local - by design, there is no reset path.

Private keys go to the OS keychain

Private key material is stored in macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, or libsecret on Linux - never in our database.

No telemetry on your SSH sessions

Session data, commands, and connection metadata live on your device and your servers only. We have no visibility into what you do inside a terminal.
