The workspace
Less switching. More doing.
Open different connections in tabs, keep them running as you switch, and reach the tools you need without leaving the app.
Files within reach
Browse remote files beside an SSH session or open a dedicated SFTP tab to upload and download.
Desktop in a tab
Connect to Windows with embedded RDP, dynamic resizing, clipboard support, and file transfer.
Serial and Telnet
Connect to USB serial adapters with configurable baud rate, framing, flow control, and local echo, or use Telnet for legacy devices.
Organized connections
Build nested groups, search by name or address, multi-select items, and drag connections or groups where you want them.
Reusable credentials
Save credential profiles once and link them to multiple SSH, Telnet, or RDP connections. Passwords stay protected in macOS Keychain.
