Fast, private terminal tools — built by an engineer, for engineers.
SSH · VNC · SFTP · Docker · Podman — a high-performance, privacy-first terminal suite for macOS & iOS. Native Swift + Metal, zero telemetry.
- SSH terminal — ed25519, host key verification, 256-color, UTF-8, near-zero latency
- SFTP file management — secure transfers with native speed
- Metal-accelerated VNC — fluid remote desktop, GPU-rendered
- Docker & Podman — visual container management
- Real-time system telemetry — CPU, RAM, temperature, network, disk, uptime
- Native performance — built with Swift, Metal, and C-native libraries (OpenSSL, libssh, libvncclient). Not an Electron wrapper.
- Zero telemetry — no tracking, no analytics, no data collection
- Hardware-isolated credentials — private keys stored in Apple Secure Enclave & Keychain
- Encrypted iCloud sync — configuration synced across devices via your private iCloud container
