Fast desktop SSH client for Windows, macOS and Linux — tabs, SFTP, live metrics, snippets, broadcast and auto-updates.
Inspired by OmnySSH. Open source, no telemetry, localized in 7 languages.
| Dashboard — live CPU/RAM/Disk, uptime, top processes |  |
| SFTP — dual pane, recursive folder transfer, progress |  |
| SFTP server picker — search + status dots |  |
| Commands — saved snippets, one-click run |  |
| New server — password or private key auth |  |
| Settings — theme, privacy, tray, updates, languages |  |
(Demo data — all servers, files and metrics in the screenshots are fictional.)
- Server cards with metrics: CPU / RAM / DISK bars, uptime, OS, top processes
- Automatic refresh; works on Linux servers (reads
/proc/*anddf -kP) - Card actions → open a Terminal or SFTP directly on that server
- Tabs — multiple connections at once (xterm.js, 256 colors, 20 000-line scrollback)
- Snippets — saved commands, one click away (
Ctrl+Efor a new one) - Broadcast — send the same command to multiple servers at once (
Ctrl+B) - Copy/paste:
Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V(andCtrl+Shift+C/Ctrl+Shift+V)
- Dual pane: local machine ↔ server (navigation, Windows drives)
- Upload/download with a progress bar — including entire folders, recursively
- New folder, delete (recursive, both sides), rename
- "Choose a server…" picker — search,
↑ ↓navigation,⏎select,escclose, online/connecting/offline status dots - Clicking SFTP in the sidebar always opens the picker first (like OmnySSH)
- SFTP rows (download / upload / rename / delete) and empty panes (new folder, upload)
- Tabs (close / close others), terminal (copy / paste / clear / reconnect)
- Dashboard cards (Terminal / SFTP / Edit / Delete) and sidebar connections
- Passwords and passphrases are encrypted — Electron
safeStorage(Windows DPAPI); never stored in plain text - Data stays local:
%APPDATA%\TrixSSH— no telemetry, no cloud - Private key from disk (file picker) or paste — OpenSSH format; warns about PuTTY
.ppk - Backup & migration — export settings to a
.trixbakfile (AES-256-GCM + scrypt, password protected), import on another computer; DPAPI secrets are re-encrypted on import
English · Deutsch · Français · Italiano · Hrvatski · Bosanski · Srpski — set in Settings → Language, applied immediately.
- Dark / light theme
- Minimize and close to tray (optional)
- Auto-updates — checked at startup and every 6 h; modal with the new version, download progress and one-click install; manual check in Settings

Grab them from the Releases page.
Windows SmartScreen may show a warning (not code-signed yet) — More info → Run anyway. On macOS, right-click the app → Open the first time (unsigned). AppImage may need
libfuse2.
TrixSSH checks a latest.json manifest (env TRIX_UPDATE_MANIFEST → updateUrl setting → UPDATE_MANIFEST_URL constant in src/main/main.js):
{
"version": "1.0.1",
"url": "https://github.com/Hatrix-Digital/TrixSSH/releases/download/v1.0.1/TrixSSH-Setup-1.0.1.exe",
"macUrl": "https://github.com/Hatrix-Digital/TrixSSH/releases/download/v1.0.1/TrixSSH-1.0.1.dmg",
"linuxUrl": "https://github.com/Hatrix-Digital/TrixSSH/releases/download/v1.0.1/TrixSSH-1.0.1-x86_64.AppImage",
"notes": "Fixes and new features..."
}If version is newer than the running one, a modal with download appears. Windows: one-click install (silent NSIS). macOS/Linux: the platform download opens in the default browser. Redirects and local paths (file:///) are supported for testing.
npm install
npm startnpm run build # Windows: NSIS installer + rcedit icon patch
npm run build:mac # macOS: DMG + ZIP (best on a mac or via CI)
npm run build:linux # Linux: AppImage + debWindows artifacts:
dist/TrixSSH-Setup-<version>.exe— NSIS installerdist/win-unpacked/TrixSSH.exe— portable version
The icon and version info are embedded into the exe via an rcedit patch script (
scripts/patch-exe-icon.js), because electron-builder has a known symlink issue with the winCodeSign cache on plain Windows without admin rights.
- Bump the version in
package.json(e.g.1.0.1) and commit git tag v1.0.1 && git push origin v1.0.1— the GitHub Actions workflow (release.yml) builds all three platforms (build matrix: windows-latest, macos-latest, ubuntu-latest) and creates a draft Release- Update
latest.json(new version + per-platform URLs + notes) — existing installations will be notified automatically
The UI source language is Croatian (src/renderer/i18n.js). Dictionaries map Croatian source strings to the target language; missing entries fall back to the original. The DOM is translated at startup (text nodes, placeholders, titles) and dynamic strings go through T.i18n.tr().
