SSH Desktop is a modern, free, open-source GUI SSH client and remote server manager built with Rust and Tauri. It enables developers, sysadmins, and homelab users to administer headless Linux servers, Raspberry Pi, and VPS environments over standard SSH (port 22) with zero remote agent installation.
Features include a hardware-accelerated multi-tab terminal with split panes, a dual-pane SFTP file manager with an integrated Monaco code editor, and a visual Docker container manager to monitor health, stream live logs, and control containers.
It also provides an intuitive SSH tunnel manager for local, remote, and dynamic port forwardings, alongside systemd service controls, UFW firewall monitoring, and system metrics.
SSH Desktop is local-first: private keys and credentials remain encrypted on your device with zero cloud tracking. 100% free under Apache-2.0 / MIT for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
