Connect. Organize. Work.

Connect: SSH and RDP on your chosen Mac displays; Telnet and Serial when needed.
Organize: profiles, groups, favorites, and tags keep infrastructure easy to find.
Work: Terminal, dual-pane SFTP, SSH tunnels, and Snippets stay in one app.

Available now in v0.31.0: SSH Workspace, local Terminal, SFTP, Forwarding Manager, Connection Center, diagnostics, macOS Keychain, and encrypted local backups. Explore the features and quick start.

RDP across two or more displays

Choose which Mac displays show the remote desktop for each RDP profile: one, two, or more. Set the primary Windows monitor and arrange the virtual displays automatically or by hand. Your selection is saved with the profile. Multi-monitor RDP guide.

Coming in 0.32

Mac ↔ Cloud integration, Personal Vault, and Team Vaults are planned for 0.32. Personal Vault is designed to synchronize client-encrypted Hosts, Credentials, and Snippets across trusted Mac and browser devices. Team Vaults add shared data, roles, and invitations. These are upcoming capabilities, not part of the current v0.31.0 download. Local work remains available without an account.
