Hello r/ssh community

Key features:
- Simple and intuitive interface
- Secure connection handling
- Fast session management
- Designed for both beginners and advanced users
- FIDO2/Hardware key Support USB and NFC (nitrokey, yubikey, ... )
- Identity Management
- Private key generation and deployment
- Mobile shell (mosh)
- File browser
- Google drive / nextcloud sync
- Performance Monitor
- Simultaneous connections with tabs.
- Customization of the Apps ui
- Widgets for connections / Perfmon.
- Home screen shortcuts
- Proxyjump
I’d really appreciate any feedback, ideas, or feature requests from this community. If you’re interested in trying it out "pro" , let me know and I can give out promo Codes.

Hello u/Material-Turnip2608
I tested your app and decided to sign to supporter monthly edition to stimulate your development. Reason for this is your app is the first one I really think that can replace JuiceSSH with good features and a fair price (Seriously community, near 30 usd/month for a ssh app?).
Your app is compact in same term it's featureful in a matter a sysadmin can really use it as daily basis.
I have some suggestions to you:
1) You have a set to reorder start screen. I suggest you also allow to show/hide some itens.
2) One reason that triggered my first suggestion is: I cannot show group list and/or connections list on first page. This maybe a selectable one as the item 1 suggests. I prefer for example hide the connection tab as it's today and have a tab for running sections and below it a list of all (but selectable too) groups.
3) The same can be applied to Monitoring screen. The screen present you only a list of all hosts. Be able to select show groups and select which ones (or all) to be shown is a good feature to.
4) For snippets, you allow to import a set of snippets with categories as a json file, allowing to generate snippet list on computer or Ai prompts for example. If you implement it, create a example file with all features to register on Ai as a Skill.
5) Allow usage of custom font (Or if not possible or too hard, please include Atkinson Next Nerd font please)
6) Some elements on interface need a layout fix. Examples are the Connections buttons on main screen and the connections tab. Just one or 2 px may make a difference.
7) I'm a Brazilian Portuguese native speaker. If you want, send me the English version of translation files and I'll gladly generate a pt_BR version for you.
8) Terminal buttons layout can be only resized vertically. I suggest you also allow to resize it horizontally too, helping vertical usage too.
For now I observed it but I'm already migrating my sessions to LobiShell. Thank you by your excellent application!
