A lightweight, secure SSH client for Windows
A fast, tabbed terminal for connecting to remote hosts - with saved connection profiles, OS-encrypted secret storage, and host-key verification. Without the weight of a full terminal suite.

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.
