Built for daily use

Tree with folder inheritance

Manage 300+ connections in nested folders. Credentials, jump hosts, and SSH options cascade down.

Encrypted vault

Passwords and keys sealed with Argon2id + XChaCha20-Poly1305. Vault unlocks once per session.

Multi-tab with splits

Tabs, horizontal and vertical splits, broadcast input to selected panes.

Port forwards

Local, remote and dynamic SOCKS forwards. Launch an isolated browser pinned to a SOCKS forward in one click.

opkssh auth

Native OpenPubkey SSH certificate auth — no external binary, no shelling out.

Live tcpdump panel

Capture and decode protocols inline. Inspect what is actually going down the wire.

Detach and redock windows

Tear off panes to separate windows, then snap them back. Tray icon, minimise-to-tray, close-to-tray.

Workspaces

Named bundles of tabs and panes. Open "morning ops" and your usual six terminals appear.

Install

Windows

  1. Download ssh-tool-windows-amd64.exe (21.1 MB)
  2. Chrome and Firefox will warn — the binary is not code-signed yet. Why.
  3. Run it. SHA256 is published next to the download for verification.
