The SSH client built to be an AI ops copilot.
Connect to a host and just ask "why is the disk full?" — the AI proposes commands, flags their side effects, and runs them in your terminal only after you approve. Sensitive data is redacted locally before anything leaves your machine.

Not another chat box. It reads what is actually happening in your terminal, proposes read-first commands, each annotated with its side effects and gated behind an explicit "Run" click. Before any payload leaves your machine it passes a shape validator and local redaction — your keys and internal addresses never go out verbatim.
Every command and its output become a block with a color-coded left edge. In a thousand-line scrollback you spot the previous command's output at a glance. Rendered fully locally — zero remote dependency, no agent installed on the server.
rssh profile open prod launches a session from any terminal — the CLI and GUI share one SQLite store. The same hosts and keys also run on mobile and inside a JetBrains tool window.
- SSH -- password, private key, SSH agent/Pageant, keyboard-interactive, jump host (ProxyJump)
- Telnet -- saved profiles, echo negotiation, line controls, expect/send login scripts
- Serial Console (desktop) -- saved UART profiles, text/hex modes, flow control, login scripts, DTR/RTS/break
- Dynamic Discovery (Docker/K8S) -- discover Docker containers and running Kubernetes pods through local CLI contexts, then open ephemeral exec terminals
- Terminal -- xterm emulation, 10 000-line scrollback, foldable color-coded command blocks, regex highlighting, search
- Multi-session Workbench (desktop) -- live terminal previews and selection-aware broadcast across connected sessions
- SFTP -- remote file browser and upload/download
- Port Forwarding -- local, remote and dynamic (SOCKS5), named configs, real-time stats
- Local Terminal (desktop) -- auto-detect zsh/bash/PowerShell
- Session Recording -- asciicast v2 format, variable-speed playback
- Connections & Credentials -- SQLite storage, import from
~/.ssh/config - Security & Sync -- secrets encrypted locally with ChaCha20-Poly1305, master key in the platform keychain when available, selective remote sync, encrypted backup to your own GitHub repo or WebDAV server
- Snippets -- reusable command shortcuts (Cmd+E)
- Mobile -- virtual keybar (Ctrl/Alt/arrows/Tab/Esc), safe area, stack navigation
- IDE Plugin -- run RSSH inside JetBrains IDEs in a tool window (shared data dir)

Run the full RSSH UI inside a JetBrains IDE tool window — same hosts, keys and
settings as the desktop app (shared ~/.rssh). Each zip bundles a headless
rssh-server, so it's self-contained and per-OS:
| Platform | File |
|---|---|
| macOS Apple Silicon | rssh-{ver}-macos-aarch64-jetbrains-plugin.zip |
| macOS Intel | rssh-{ver}-macos-x86_64-jetbrains-plugin.zip |
| Linux | rssh-{ver}-linux-x86_64-jetbrains-plugin.zip |
| Windows | rssh-{ver}-windows-x86_64-jetbrains-plugin.zip |
Install: Settings → Plugins → ⚙ → Install Plugin from Disk…, pick the zip for your OS and restart. Open the RSSH tool window (bottom) to start; the ✕ in its title bar stops the embedded server.
