Platform · Linux
The SSH client for Linux made by people who live on servers.
A native AppImage with a Rust core — browser-style tabs, a live stats bar for the box you're on, session recording & replay, and end-to-end encrypted sync between your laptop and your workstation. Your agents get an MCP server too. Free tier — plus a 14-day Pro trial.

01 / native
A native build that respects your machine.
Termalin ships as a single AppImage for x86_64 — chmod +x and go, no package manager fights. Under it sits a Rust core with tab hibernation, so it stays light on RAM and quick with a wall of hosts open for weeks. Real xterm-256color sessions, browser-style tabs, a hosts sidebar, snippets, and session restore with scrollback.
- ▸Your ~/.ssh/config comes with you — import it in a click, along with CSV, and export back any time. No lock-in, either direction.
- ▸Signed auto-updates — every update is verified against a built-in key before it installs.
- ▸More than SSH — SFTP with a built-in editor, plus FTP, Telnet, Serial and S3 as first-class hosts.
02 / live stats
The status bar that already ran top for you.
Every session carries a live status bar for the box you're on: CPU, memory, disk, network, load, uptime, processes, logged-in users and open ports — always current, with details on hover. You see a box struggling before you go digging, without leaving the prompt or keeping a monitoring tab open.
03 / recording
Record the session, replay the incident.
Sessions can be recorded and played back later — commands, output and agent actions on a scrubbable timeline with markers. When something broke at 2 a.m., you scroll back through what actually happened on the box instead of reconstructing it from shell history.
- ▸Output only — never your keystrokes — passwords at hidden prompts are never echoed, so they never land in the tape.
- ▸Replay anywhere — in the app, or from the web cabinet on paid plans.
- ▸Watch grid — every open session mirrored side by side as a live tile; sessions an agent is driving glow.
04 / laptop ↔ workstation
One vault across your laptop and your workstation.
Hosts, keys, snippets and per-host command history follow you across devices — end-to-end encrypted. Your vault is encrypted on your device with a key derived from your master password before anything is uploaded; the server stores only encrypted blobs, and the master password can't be reset by design. And your agents come along too: the built-in MCP server lets Claude Code and friends open SSH sessions through Termalin — never holding your keys, every action marked in the recording.

Questions
Is Termalin free?
Yes — the Free tier is the whole desktop app with no host limits, local-only. Pro adds the encrypted cloud (sync, cloud recordings) at $8/mo billed yearly or $10 monthly. Every new account starts with a 14-day Pro trial — no card required. See pricing →
How do I install Termalin on Linux?
Download the AppImage (x86_64), make it executable with chmod +x, and run it. It's an unsigned beta build for now, and the app keeps itself updated with signed auto-updates — every update is verified against a built-in key before it installs. Download →
Does session recording capture my keystrokes?
No — recordings capture output only, never your keystrokes. Passwords at hidden prompts (sudo and the like) are never echoed, so they never appear in a recording. You replay sessions on a scrubbable timeline with markers, in the app or, on paid plans, from the web cabinet.
Can I sync between my laptop and my workstation?
Yes — on Pro, hosts, keys, snippets and per-host command history follow you across devices, end-to-end encrypted. Your vault is encrypted on your device before anything is uploaded; the server stores only encrypted blobs, and the master password can't be reset by design. More on security →
What's the MCP server for?
Termalin ships an MCP server, so an AI agent can open its own SSH sessions or step into yours — without ever holding your keys. You watch every move in the watch grid, and each agent action is marked in the recording. See how it works →
