About Termius
Termius is a commercial SSH client available on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android. The vendor describes it as built for productivity and collaboration, letting people connect to servers from any device with a single click.
The interface organizes work into a vault of hosts that can be grouped, plus SFTP file transfer, a keychain, port forwarding, snippets, known hosts and logs. Workspaces and serial connections are also shown in the product screenshots. Because hosts and settings sync between devices, engineers can pick up the same set of servers on a phone or a laptop. The company also sells an enterprise plan and publishes a security page.
Termius is proprietary software. Anyone can sign up from the site, and pricing for the available plans is listed on a separate pricing page.
