Mosh and Eternal Terminal.

The details that matter.

  • Connection types

    Match protocols to your environment.

    Termind
    SSH, Telnet, SFTP, and serial

    Core connections are free. Serial sessions are available on macOS; combine terminals and file browsers in a multi-pane workspace.

    Prompt 3
    SSH, Telnet, Mosh, Eternal Terminal

    Mosh and Eternal Terminal help sessions survive unstable networks. Local shell sessions are available on macOS.

  • Port forwarding

    Reach remote services through SSH tunnels.

    Termind
    Free; multi-connection acceleration with Pro

    Create multiple forwarding rules for free. On macOS, Pro spreads local and dynamic forwarding traffic across multiple SSH connections.

    Prompt 3
    SSH port forwarding

    Set up SSH tunnels and use jump hosts to reach servers behind another host.

  • Built-in Tailscale

    Connect to your private network from the app.

    Termind
    In-app Tailnet access · Pro

    Sign in and sync Tailscale devices in Vault groups; each group can use a different Tailnet. No separate client or system VPN is needed. SSH and SFTP require Tailscale SSH on the server.

    Prompt 3
    No built-in Tailscale integration

    Use a separate Tailscale client before connecting. VPN on Demand activates a configured system VPN; it does not manage a Tailnet.

  • Multiple sessions

    Keep related sessions together.

    Termind

    On macOS, combine SSH, Telnet, SFTP, and serial sessions in a workspace and broadcast input to multiple terminals.

    YubiKey PIV and FIDO2
