# mySSH

> mySSH is a free, open-source desktop SSH client and session manager for macOS, Linux and Windows, written in Rust. It combines saved connection profiles, a tabbed terminal with split panes, an SFTP file panel and one-way folder sync in a single native app.

Latest version: v0.2.1 (2026-10-17, pre-release). License: MIT or Apache-2.0. Author: Alexandro Almeida. Languages: English, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish.

## Features

- **Organized profiles**: Folders, tags, favorites and DEV / STAGING / PRODUCTION environments with a warning stripe. Quick connect without saving anything.
- **Every way to log in**: Password, private key with or without passphrase, SSH agent and keyboard-interactive / MFA, through jump hosts.
- **Secrets in the system vault**: Keychain, Credential Manager or Secret Service. Nothing in plain text on disk, in logs or in process arguments.
- **Strict host keys**: Accept once or accept and save. A changed key blocks the connection before anything is sent.
- **Tabs and split panes**: A native terminal (alacritty_terminal) with per-profile themes, six palettes and confirmation for multi-line paste.
- **SFTP file panel**: Local and remote side by side, transfer queue, conflict handling, cancellation and resume of large files.
- **Folder sync with preview**: One-way sync that shows every change before it runs. Deletions are off by default and mirror mode is protected.
- **Private by design**: No telemetry and no update checks: the only network traffic is the connections you start. Interface in English, Portuguese and Spanish.
