rssh-org/rssh

A genuinely different SSH client — built to fix the pain points everyone else ignored.

Traditional clients hand you a shell and stop there: endless scrollback, static IPs to memorize, copy-pasting logs into a chat bot.

RSSH goes further: commands become navigable blocks, containers are discovered live, and the AI reads the terminal like an operator.

🤖 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.	🎨 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.
🐳 Dynamic discovery Containers and pods change by the minute — connecting to servers by static IP is obsolete.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.	🔐 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.

• 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)

Download from Releases:

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:

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.
