A calmer home for every SSH host
The redesigned home screen keeps hosts, snippets, keys, known hosts, proxies, logs, and settings in one compact operations console.
Color-coded groups and tags
Groups and tags use stable colors, making production, staging, network, backup, and custom labels easier to scan.
Recent connection sorting
Bring frequently used hosts to the front with recent-connection sorting alongside name, address, created, and updated order.
Open the workbench
Jump from any host into the remote workbench for terminals, files, browsers, databases, monitors, services, and more.
Host inventory details
Connection success collects system, kernel, CPU, memory, disk summary, login method, key pair, and proxy metadata.
Snippets, keys, proxies, logs
Manage reusable commands, SSH key pairs, known hosts, proxy profiles, and local operation logs with the same card UI.
Move from inventory to workbench without losing context
Start on the host dashboard, connect with saved credentials or a typed SSH command, then open a focused desktop-style workbench for that machine.
- Hosts, snippets, keys, known hosts, proxies, logs, and settings share one navigation model
- Right-side host details show connection, system, login, key, and proxy context
- Local mode opens a local workbench beside remote SSH hosts
01
Choose a host
Filter by search, group, tags, state, and sorting, then select the host you need.
02
Open the workbench
Use saved keys, passwords, proxies, or a one-line SSH command to enter the workspace.
03
Inspect issues
Review monitoring, logs, ports, services, and security checks in one place.
04
Keep an audit trail
Record connection, host, config, and system operations in local logs.
Local-first and controlled
ShellDesk stores hosts, keys, app settings, and bookmarks in a local Vault. The renderer process accesses controlled APIs through preload.
When Electron safeStorage is available, sensitive data is encrypted with system credentials.
When system encryption is unavailable, the Vault falls back to local file-permission protection.
ShellDesk enables contextIsolation, disables nodeIntegration, and exposes capabilities through preload.
Built for developers, operators, and technical teams
Keep the same experience on macOS, Windows, and Linux, and bring remote work into one desktop workspace.
