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.", "body_md": "$4.99/mo\n\nPro plan - one third of what Termius asks\n\n4\n\nPlatforms, fully native - desktop and mobile\n\nE2E\n\nEncrypted sync - we only ever store ciphertext\n\n## SSH manager with terminal, SFTP, AI, and SSH key store, all built in.\n\nNo plugins, no config files. One tool that handles terminals, keys, SFTP, and AI. The whole job.\n\n### Terminal sessions\n\nPTY sessions with multi-tab support. Multiple servers, one window - no third-party terminal needed.\n\n→### End-to-end encryption\n\nCredentials encrypted locally with AES-GCM. The server never sees plaintext.\n\n→### Host management\n\nEvery server at a glance. Groups and status - organized your way.\n\n→### AI that knows which server you're on\n\nAsk questions scoped to the active host. Commands appear for review before anything runs.\n\n→### SSH key store\n\nSee algorithms, copy fingerprints, remove what you don't need - all in one place.\n\n→### Command audit logs\n\nEvery command, every session, timestamped. Built for shared hosts and compliance.\n\n→## Synced everywhere,\n\nnever in plaintext.\n\nA 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.\n\n**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.\n\n## Your credentials never leave your device unencrypted.\n\nSSH tools handle real credentials for real infrastructure. Here is exactly how we protect yours.\n\n### Credentials never leave your device in plaintext\n\nSSH 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.\n\n### Your master password is yours alone\n\nWe never receive, store, or have any way to recover your master password. Key derivation is fully local - by design, there is no reset path.\n\n### Private keys go to the OS keychain\n\nPrivate key material is stored in macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, or libsecret on Linux - never in our database.\n\n### No telemetry on your SSH sessions\n\nSession data, commands, and connection metadata live on your device and your servers only. We have no visibility into what you do inside a terminal.\n\n[Read the full security breakdown ⟶](/security/)\n\n## Simple pricing.\n\nYour cross-platform SSH manager.
