A modern, cross-platform SSH client and remote server management tool. Tabbed terminals, SFTP file browser, port forwarding, system monitoring, AI assistant, encrypted vault, Ansible & OpenTofu automation, serial console. Free and open-source PuTTY/MobaXterm/Termius alternative for Windows, macOS, Linux & Android. Built with Rust + Tauri.
A transparent discovery signal based on current public GitHub metadata.
This score does not audit code, security, maintainers, documentation quality, or suitability. Verify the repository and its current documentation before adoption.
Most SSH tools feel like they were designed in 2005, because they were. MobaXterm is Windows-only and bloated, PuTTY hasn't changed in decades, and Termius wants a subscription for basic features.
Reach is what happens when you build an SSH client from scratch with a native UI, proper encryption, and the kind of workflow you'd actually want to use every day. No Electron. No monthly fee. Just a fast, clean tool that runs everywhere.
~/.ssh/config.Reach is a Tauri v2 app with a Rust backend and Svelte 5 frontend. The entire SSH stack runs natively in Rust through russh, with no OpenSSH dependency. The UI is rendered in a system webview (not bundled Chromium), so the final binary is small and memory usage stays low.
| Backend | Rust, Tokio, russh |
| Frontend | Svelte 5, SvelteKit, TypeScript |
| Styling | Tailwind CSS v4 |
| Terminal | xterm.js with WebGL addon |
| Crypto | XChaCha20-Poly1305, Argon2id, X25519 |
| Platforms | Windows, macOS, Linux, Android |
