Table of Contents

Features

Remote terminal (SSH / Telnet / Mosh), local & serial terminal (PowerShell / CMD / Git Bash / WSL), file transfer, remote desktop, database, and server monitor โ€” covering all remote access needs.

  • Remote Terminal โ€” SSH / Telnet / Mosh with password or key authentication; includes SSH tunnel port forwarding so any connection can route through an SSH jump host.
  • Local & Serial Terminal โ€” PowerShell / CMD / Git Bash / WSL plus serial connections with configurable baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity, and local echo.
  • File Transfer โ€” SFTP / FTP / FTPS / SMB / WebDAV / S3 / Zmodem with dual-pane browsing and rz/sz support in SSH terminals.
  • Remote Desktop โ€” RDP (Windows Remote Desktop), VNC (Linux remote control), SPICE (KVM/QEMU VMs)
  • Database Client โ€” MySQL / PostgreSQL / Oracle / SQL Server / rqlite / Redis / MongoDB.
  • Server Monitor โ€” Real-time CPU, memory, disk, network, processes, ports, and network interfaces.

AI Assistant

Autonomous AI Agent that independently plans and executes multi-turn shell commands directly in your terminal.

  • Autonomous Multi-Turn Execution โ€” The AI Agent can plan, execute, observe results, and iterate across multiple rounds of shell commands without manual intervention.
  • LLM Integration โ€” Sidebar chat with Anthropic/OpenAI-compatible API, supporting Claude, GPT and other compliant models.
  • Flexible Execution Modes โ€” Bypass, dangerous only, dangerous + write, or confirm all โ€” you control how much oversight the AI Agent needs.
  • Persistent Conversations โ€” Chat history is saved per session, so conversations survive app restarts.
  • Terminal Integration โ€” AI commands execute directly in the active terminal tab, with optional pinning to a specific tab or following your active one. Collaborate side-by-side in split panes, each with its own terminal context.
  • Smart Completion โ€” While typing in SSH terminals, get real-time suggestions from your command history and AI-powered command rewrites.

Personalization

Connection management, split panes, cloud sync, themes โ€” your terminal, your way.

  • Connection Manager โ€” Group, quickly search, create, and batch-operate server connections.
  • Split Panes โ€” Drag terminal tabs into the content area to split freely and combine them into a workspace; drag panel edges to resize and rearrange.
  • Cloud Sync โ€” Encrypt and auto-sync settings via your own decentralized private repo on GitHub, GitLab, or Gitee โ€” no worry about data loss or leaks, and pick up your work seamlessly across devices.
  • Custom Keybindings โ€” Freely bind keyboard shortcuts for every action for full keyboard-driven operation, hands never leaving the keyboard.
  • Themes โ€” 28 terminal themes plus 3 UI themes (Dark / Deep Blue / Light).
  • Internationalization โ€” 9-language UI: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, German, Spanish, French, Russian.
