RSSH

English | 中文

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.

Desktop · Mobile · JetBrains · CLI — one shared data store.

RSSH — ask a question, the AI proposes commands, you approve before they run Color-coded command blocks with their context menu RSSH — the AI panel reads the terminal and proposes commands for approval

Why RSSH

🤖 AI triage

Not another chat box. Nothing to install on your servers — it works like a human operator, reading the terminal's input and output directly.

AI triage: reads the terminal, proposes commands

🎨 Color-coded command blocks

Every command and its output become a block with a color-coded left edge — spot the last command's output at a glance. Rendered fully locally, zero remote dependency.

Color-coded command blocks

🐳 Dynamic discovery

Containers and pods change by the minute — connecting to servers by static IP is obsolete. RSSH dynamically discovers the containers in your local dev and test environments.

Dynamic discovery: containers appear live in Home

🔐 Multi-platform data sync

Keys stay in your local OS keyserver; connection configs are encrypted into your own private GitHub repo — nothing sits on a third-party server.

Security and sync: keys in keychain, profiles encrypted to GitHub

Features

  • 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)

IntelliJ / JetBrains plugin

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:

Linuxrssh-{ver}-linux-x86_64-jetbrains-plugin.zip
Windowsrssh-{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.
