Termilla is a native desktop application that combines a terminal, a file manager and an encrypted connection vault in one window.
It started as a side project. I was paying for a tool that did this same job, and at some point the obvious question was why I did not build my own.
I designed and built the application and its product site: protocol coverage across SSH, SFTP and S3, local-first credential storage in the system keychain, and bastion-host support, with no account and no cloud dependency. Everything stays encrypted on the machine it belongs to.
It is early enough that there are still rough edges, which is why the beta is free. It runs on macOS and Windows.
