01 · Command blocks
Every command gets a boundary.
Sessions fold into color-coded blocks. Copy one command's output, fold the noise, and keep a 10 000-line scrollback you can actually read.
02 · AI triage
Automated triage.
Human-approved.
The AI reads your terminal like an operator and proposes the next command. Nothing runs without your click, and secrets are redacted before anything leaves the machine.
03 · Dynamic discovery
Containers appear.
So do your terminals.
Docker containers and Kubernetes pods show up live as they start. One click opens an ephemeral exec terminal — no static IPs, no bookmarks to maintain.
04 · Desktop + CLI
One database. Two interfaces.
The desktop app and the bundled CLI share the same profiles, keys, and settings. Explore in the workbench, then go headless in pipes, scripts, and CI.
05 · Private sync
Your keys never leave your machine.
Secrets stay in your operating system's keychain. Profiles are encrypted client-side into your own GitHub repo or WebDAV endpoint — no third-party cloud.

FAQs
Answers to the questions that come up most.
Do I need to install anything on my servers?
No. RSSH is an ordinary SSH client — every feature is normal commands over the connection you opened. No daemon, no hooks, no wrappers. Dynamic discovery reads your local Docker and Kubernetes contexts.
Which platforms are supported?
macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows, Linux (deb, rpm, AppImage), and Android. An iOS build is maintained by the community. The desktop app and the CLI share one database, so both stay in sync.
How does sync work?
Secrets stay in your operating system's keychain. Connection profiles are encrypted client-side and stored in your own private GitHub repo or WebDAV endpoint. There is no RSSH cloud and no third-party server in the loop.
Does the AI send my terminal output anywhere?
AI diagnose reads the current session and proposes commands — nothing runs without your approval. Sensitive output is redacted locally before a request leaves your machine, and you bring your own provider and key.
Why both a GUI and a CLI?
They are two interfaces over the same SQLite database — profiles, keys, and settings are shared. Use the workbench for exploration, the CLI for pipes, scripts, and CI.
