Core Features

**SSH Tunnel Management**
Create and manage local port forwarding tunnels. Run multiple tunnels across multiple servers simultaneously, with dynamic local port allocation and instant switching.

**Built-in Secure Browser**
A full-featured browser optimized for accessing remote services, powered by WKWebView with modern web standards support. Multi-tab browsing with drag-and-drop reordering, independent caching, and fast switching.

**SSH Terminal**
Full interactive terminal powered by SwiftTerm with real-time output streaming, dynamic row/column resizing, auxiliary key bar, and clipboard support. Terminal snippets let you pin frequently used commands for one-tap execution. Switch seamlessly between browser and terminal.

**SFTP File Manager**
Built-in SFTP client for remote directory browsing, file upload and download, transfer queue management with progress tracking. Create directories, rename and delete files, preview file contents, and view file properties.

**Jump Server Support**
Establish multi-hop SSH connections through jump servers. Temporary tunnels are created and cleaned up automatically, enabling secure access to deep internal network services.

**SSH Key Management**
Generate, import, and manage SSH key pairs. Supports ed25519 and ECDSA (P256, P384, P521) algorithms. Keys are securely stored in the Keychain with passphrase protection.

**Auto-Reconnect and Keep-Alive**
Background keep-alive maintains active connections. Automatic reconnection with exponential backoff ensures stable recovery after network changes.

**Keyboard Shortcuts (Mac)**
Comprehensive keyboard navigation on macOS: Cmd+R to refresh, Cmd+W to close tab, Cmd+T for new tab, Cmd+D to duplicate tab, Cmd+Shift+T to reopen closed tab, Ctrl+Tab to switch tabs, Option+Tab to cycle focus between sidebar and content. Shortcut badges appear when holding the Cmd key.

**Biometric Lock**
Protect the app with Touch ID, Face ID, or device passcode. On Mac, the lock screen responds to keyboard shortcuts — press Escape, Space, or Return to trigger authentication. Devices without biometric hardware are handled gracefully.

**Personalized Appearance**
Three themes: Midnight Architect, Obsidian Matrix, and Solarized Light. Five accent colors to choose from, with smooth switching between dark and light modes.

**Multilingual Support**
Interface available in multiple languages. Switch anytime with instant effect.

**Zero Data Collection**
No analytics, no tracking, no ads, no back
