The story
I had too many servers, too many credential files, and zero confidence that any of them were stored securely.
Existing SSH managers either looked like they were designed in 2009 or required trusting a cloud service with plaintext credentials. Neither felt right. So I built something I actually wanted to use.
The result is Termique: a cross-platform SSH manager built on Tauri, with end-to-end encrypted credentials, a built-in AI assistant that understands your infrastructure, and a companion mobile app for when you need to check on a server from your phone.
Everything is encrypted locally with AES-256-GCM before it ever leaves your device. The server never sees your master password or your credentials in plaintext. That was the non-negotiable from day one.
The principles
we build by.
Four decisions made early. None negotiable.
Credentials never leave your device unencrypted.
Your master password is derived locally via PBKDF2. The server never sees it. Every credential is AES-256-GCM encrypted before it touches the network.
No telemetry on SSH sessions.
We do not log what you type, which commands you run, or what output you receive. Command logs are opt-in per host, and you own the data.
Honest pricing.
The free tier is genuinely useful. Pro adds features, not paywalled essentials. No per-seat pricing, no usage caps on core functionality.
Open about limitations.
Termique is built by one person. That means slower feature velocity but also a simpler attack surface, faster decisions, and no VC pressure to compromise the product.
