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.
