What it is

A desktop hub that organizes connections to servers, containers, Kubernetes clusters, virtual machines and cloud hosts, built on the SSH, docker and other CLI tools already installed locally. It includes a remote file browser with sudo elevation and file transfers, launches sessions in your preferred terminal with passwords filled in, and opens RDP and VNC connections. Nothing needs to be installed on the remote side. Sysadmins and developers who juggle many machines use it to keep their access in one place and script common actions.
