Public preview

One window for the work around your terminal.

Ternux is not another hosted dashboard. It is a native desktop control room that keeps your access and working context close to you.

Local-firstKeyboard-firstCross-platformNo account required
01Connect

A home for every server

Organize SSH, S3, FTP, and Postgres connections with groups, known-host verification, and vault-backed credentials.

02Operate

Stay in the session

Use tabs, split panes, tunnels, snippets, reconnect flows, and a searchable command palette without losing context.

03Change

Move from command to code

Browse remote files, edit them in place, preview assets, transfer artifacts, and inspect Postgres data from the same workspace.

Your remote workflow, without the app switching

Ternux brings the tools around your terminal into one calm, keyboard-first desktop workspace.

Multi-tab Terminal

Full xterm.js terminal with tabs, configurable fonts, cursor styles, and scrollback buffer.

SSH & Connections

Connect with password, SSH key, or vault. Manage SSH, S3, and FTP connections in one place.

Split-Pane Workspace

Run terminal, file explorer, and code editor side-by-side in a single tab. Resize, drag-and-drop, and go fullscreen.

Unified File Transfer

Dual-pane browser for SFTP, S3, and FTP with background transfer queue and conflict resolution.

Built-in Code Editor

Edit remote files without leaving the app. Syntax highlighting, search, and multi-cursor support.

Postgres Client

Browse databases, schemas, tables, views, and functions. Run SQL, inspect rows, and edit data without leaving your terminal workspace.

Port Forwarding

Create and manage local, remote, and SOCKS5 SSH tunnels — no manual command-line flags needed.

Snippets

Build a personal command library. Tag and search snippets, then paste any into a session in one click.

Encrypted Vault

AES-256-GCM encryption, stored only on your device. No cloud, no account, no server ever sees your keys.

Config Stays Local

All connections, keys, and snippets live in a single portable config file on your device — never on our servers.

Spotlight Command Palette

Open connections, database workspaces, and frequent actions instantly with Cmd+K or Ctrl+K.

File Explorer & Preview

Browse local and remote files with tree navigation, tabs, syntax highlighting, image previews, and SVG previews.

Audit Log & Known Hosts

Review connection activity and manage trusted SSH host fingerprints from one security-focused workspace.

Themes & UI Zoom

Use dark, light, or One Dark Pro themes and scale the interface without changing your terminal preferences.

Tabby Vault Import

Bring existing Tabby connections and credentials into Ternux instead of rebuilding your setup by hand.

Terminal Workflows

Use editable shortcuts, reusable snippets, split panes, reconnect flows, and configurable terminal behavior.

From first connection to final deploy

Keep the session, the files, the editor, and the operational context together while you work.

A better loop for remote work

Connect once, keep context, and move from command to change without losing your place.

Step 1

Add a connection

Enter a hostname and choose your auth method — password, SSH key, or import from Tabby.

Step 2

Stored locally, encrypted

Credentials go into an AES-256-GCM vault on your device. No server, no cloud, no account.

Step 3

Connect and work

Open a tab, run commands, browse files, edit code, or query a database — all in one window.
