02Features

Everything you SSH into, in one window

Built on the TermKit UI kit and a Rust (russh) backend for fast, native connections.

Native SSH terminal

Full PTY shell powered by russh with xterm.js rendering, split panes and per-session logging.

SFTP file browser

Browse, upload, download, rename, chmod and delete remote files over the same connection.

Port forwarding + SOCKS5

Local tunnels and a dynamic SOCKS5 proxy via direct-tcpip channels.

Command palette & snippets

Ctrl+K to jump anywhere, plus reusable command snippets you can run on the active session.

Broadcast to many hosts

Type once and send the same command to every connected session at the same time.

Live server monitoring

CPU, memory and disk stats for the active host, right in the status bar.

Split panes & sessions

Work across multiple terminals side by side with a fast session switcher.

Import ~/.ssh/config

Pull your existing hosts in one click. Themes, host key trust and known hosts included.

03Security

Secrets stay yours

AntiTerm is local-first by design. There is no backend to breach, no account to phish.

Encrypted vault

Credentials are sealed with AES-256-GCM using an Argon2-derived key from your master password.

Host key TOFU

Trust-on-first-use with SHA-256 fingerprints and hard MITM / key-mismatch rejection.

Fully offline

Hosts, snippets and settings live in your local config directory. Nothing is uploaded.

No telemetry

No analytics, no trackers, no phone-home. Auto-lock keeps the vault sealed when idle.

04Under the hood

Built on solid, native tech

A small Rust core and a React UI, packaged as a lightweight Tauri desktop app.
