Simple SSH — tabbed terminal connected to a host, dark theme

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Tabbed sessions

Run multiple SSH connections side by side in one window. Rename, duplicate, drag to reorder, and middle-click to close tabs.

Connection profiles

Save hosts, ports, usernames, and auth methods for one-click reconnect. Recent connections are recorded automatically.

~/.ssh/config import

Already have hosts configured? Import your Host entries straight into the connect form.

Flexible authentication

Password, private key (with passphrase), or SSH agent - plus keyboard-interactive support for MFA and OTP challenges.

Encrypted secret storage

Passwords and key passphrases live in Windows Credential Manager. Plaintext is never written to disk.

Host-key verification

Unknown and changed host keys prompt for a trust decision, with SHA-256 fingerprints so you can verify before connecting.

Port forwarding

Set up local (-L style) tunnels per tab from the dedicated forwards panel - no command-line flags required.

Auto-reconnect

Dropped sessions show a one-click reconnect overlay so you're back in seconds.

Make it yours

Dracula, Solarized, Gruvbox, and One Dark color schemes, plus live font, cursor, and scrollback settings and a light/dark app theme.

Built for security

Simple SSH keeps your secrets in the operating system's keychain, locks its interface down with a strict Content-Security-Policy, and performs all privileged work - networking, filesystem access, secret storage - in a Rust backend powered by Tauri and russh.
