Changelog

Teamwork and security keys

Share servers with your team with no server in between, sign with a YubiKey, and connect over Mosh, Telnet or serial too.

• New

  Team vaults

  Share hosts, keys, identities and snippets from a shared Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive or Nextcloud folder, or from WebDAV. It is encrypted with a password only the team knows, and every host arrives with its key or password, its tunnels and an already verified fingerprint.

• New

  Mosh, Telnet and serial

  Mosh keeps your session alive when you switch networks (it needs mosh-server on the server and the Mosh client on your machine). Telnet and serial are for routers, switches and boards, with speed, parity and BREAK.

• New

  FIDO2 security keys

  Create your SSH keys on a YubiKey or another FIDO2 key: when you connect, Nodo asks you to touch it and, if you created it that way, for the PIN. On Windows they work through OpenSSH’s ssh-agent.

• New

  Encrypted session logs

  If you turn them on, what each session shows is stored encrypted on your machine, with search and plain-text export.

• Improved

  Terminal autocomplete

  Suggestions from your history on each server and your snippets; the right arrow accepts them.

• Improved

  Editable shortcuts

  Change any keyboard shortcut; Nodo warns you if it clashes with another one or with the shell.

• Fixed

  Starting after using an older release

  Nodo no longer fails to open after an older release opened your data: it repairs them at startup.

Your data on every computer

Encrypted sync with no accounts, themes from the terminal itself and the AI models you already have on your machine.

• New

  Encrypted sync

  Hosts, keys, identities and snippets on every computer, encrypted with a password only you know, in your iCloud Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive or Google Drive folder or on your WebDAV server. No accounts and no Nodo servers.

• New

  Themes from the terminal

  Theme, font and size with a live preview on hover. 63 built-in themes; import your own from iTerm2, Windows Terminal, VS Code, Alacritty, Ghostty or kitty and give each server its own.

• New

  AI with local models

  LM Studio, Bionic, Jan, llama.cpp or vLLM: Nodo finds them and, if LM Studio is off, starts it.

• Improved

  Your local shell

  Pick zsh, bash, fish, PowerShell, cmd, WSL or Git Bash for the local terminal.

• Improved

  Your ~/.ssh on first launch

  The first time, Nodo offers to bring your hosts, your keys and your known_hosts.

• Improved

  Tabs and undo

  Nodo reopens last time’s tabs, and deleting a host or a snippet can be undone.

• Improved

  Output and fonts

  Save a terminal’s output to a text file and use any installed font, Nerd Fonts included.

On every platform, with an AI assistant

It reaches Windows and Linux ARM64, with an assistant that explains errors and with tunnels, jump hosts and SFTP for everyday work.

• New

  Windows, Linux ARM64 and universal Mac

  Installers for Windows and Linux ARM64; on macOS, a single one for Apple Silicon and Intel.

• New

  AI assistant

  With your own Anthropic or OpenAI key, or with Ollama on your machine: it explains errors and suggests commands it never runs without your confirmation.

• New

  Jump hosts and tunnels

  Jump hosts (ProxyJump), remote tunnels and SOCKS proxy, agent forwarding, environment variables and a startup command per host.

• New

  Connections that explain themselves

  Two-factor, automatic reconnection and a panel that explains why a connection fails and what to check.

• New

  Identities, groups and tags

  Reusable identities, group settings their hosts inherit and tags to filter by.

• New

  Shell integration

  Every command is marked with its result, ⌘↑ and ⌘↓ jump between them and Nodo tells you when a long one finishes.

• Improved

  SFTP

  A queue with speed and time left, conflicts file by file, permissions and editing remote files in your own editor.

• Improved

  Snippets and import

  Snippets with variables, run on several hosts at once. Import and export CSV, ~/.ssh/config and backups.

Automatic updates and a new interface

From this release on, Nodo updates itself.

• New

  Automatic updates

  Nodo checks for new releases when it opens and every six hours, downloads them in the background, verifies their signature and restarts only when you ask.

• New

  App themes

  Dark, light or the system’s, with six accents; the terminal can follow the app theme.

• Improved

  New interface

  Tabs in the macOS title bar, a sidebar, layered surfaces and each system’s logo on its hosts.

• Improved

  Settings by category

  Appearance, Terminal, Keyboard, Updates, Shortcuts and About.

If you have 0.1.0, install 0.2.0 by hand once: 0.1.0 didn’t have the updater yet.
