Everything a power user wants

One app for local shells, SSH, file transfers, and tunnels.

Terminal, tabs & splits

A real login shell with truecolor and WebGL rendering. Tabs, split panes, and broadcast-to-all.

SSH host manager

Saved hosts and groups, key/agent/password auth, jump hosts (ProxyJump), and host-key verification.

Dual-pane SFTP

Local and remote side by side. Drag & drop, recursive folder transfers, preview, and permissions.

Port forwarding

Local and remote SSH tunnels with a live status panel — no more juggling -L flags.

Snippets & workspaces

Reusable parameterized commands, and named workspaces that restore tabs, splits, and hosts.

Command palette

⌘K to jump to any host, theme, or action. Fuzzy, fast, keyboard-first.

Encrypted vault & audit

App lock, an Argon2 + XChaCha20 vault for your hosts, and a local connection audit log.

Triggers & notifications

Watch output with regex rules — highlight lines and get desktop notifications when things happen.

Themes & a global hotkey

Modern palettes plus classic Terminal.app profiles, and a quake-style show/hide hotkey.

See it in action

A dual-pane file manager and a keyboard-first command palette — no context switching.
