Local-first
Your data stays on your device. Everything works fully offline, with no cloud account required.
About
Tools that respect the people who use them
AntiTerm started with a simple frustration: modern SSH clients kept pushing accounts, cloud sync and telemetry on people who just wanted to reach their servers. So we built the opposite.
AntiTerm is a local-first desktop app for SSH, SFTP and port forwarding. Your hosts, keys and credentials live in an encrypted vault on your own machine, never on someone else's server. No sign-in, no tracking, no phoning home.
It is fast because it is native: a small Rust core doing the heavy lifting, a modern interface on top, packaged as one lightweight app that starts instantly and stays out of your way.
What we believe
Private by default
No telemetry, no analytics, no hidden network calls. Your keys never leave your machine.
Native & fast
A Rust core and a lean UI mean instant startup and low memory, on every platform.
Honest & clear
No dark patterns, no upsells. The app does what it says, and nothing you did not ask for.
