Features

Hosts and connections

Your servers organized the way you work, and connected by typing.

Groups that pass settings down

Each group has its color and settings, and its hosts inherit them: change one and they all change.

Tags and search

Filter by tag and search by name, address or user, in a grid or a list.

Connect by typing

With ⌘K, type user@server:port and connect, even if the host isn’t saved.

Jumps and proxies

Chained jump hosts, like ProxyJump, and a SOCKS5 or HTTP proxy per host or per group.

SSH, Mosh, Telnet and serial

Mosh keeps the session when you change networks; Telnet and serial for routers, switches and boards.

Bring what you have

Import ~/.ssh/config with its jumps and tunnels, your keys, known_hosts, a CSV or a Nodo backup.

Many at once

Select several hosts to connect, open them in panes, run a command or see which ones respond.

Workspaces

Save your tabs with their panes, SFTP, monitor and IDE, and reopen them all at once.

Terminal

The terminal you spend your day in, with what you were missing.

Panes and broadcast

Up to four panes per tab, and what you type can reach all of them at once.

Autocomplete

Suggests the rest of the command from your history on each server.

Shell integration

Marks every command by how it ended and knows which folder you’re in, to open SFTP or the IDE there.

63 themes

And yours: import themes from iTerm2, Windows Terminal, Alacritty, Ghostty, kitty or VS Code, with a different one per server.

Highlighting your way

Errors, warnings, IP addresses and your own words or regular expressions, each with its color.

Snippets

Your saved commands, also on several servers at once with each one’s result.

Encrypted logs

What each session showed, encrypted, with search and plain-text export.

Local terminal

Your usual shell in a tab, next to your servers.

Files

Two-pane SFTP, with no other app.

Two panes

Your computer and the server, or two servers, with drag and drop for whole folders.

A queue with its speed

Every transfer with its progress, and if a file already exists, it asks you what to do.

With your editor

Open a remote file in your own editor and it uploads when you save.

Tunnels

Reach what isn’t exposed to the internet.

Local, remote and SOCKS

Every rule turns on and off with a switch.

With each host

Tunnels travel with their host: they’re imported from ~/.ssh/config and reach your team in vaults.

Remote desktop

Windows and Linux in a tab, and an AI that drives them for you.

Auto Acts on its own and asks you before anything with consequences: deleting, sending, buying or changing settings. Manual Waits for your go-ahead before every click and every key. Plan Only looks at the screen and proposes the steps, without touching anything.

It works with Claude and with image-capable models from OpenAI or on your computer. While the AI works, your keyboard and mouse don’t reach the desktop, and you can stop it at any moment.

See it live

RDP and VNC

Windows and Linux, GNOME desktop sharing and VeNCrypt-encrypted VNC too.

Through the SSH tunnel

It reaches the desktop over the server’s SSH connection, without opening its ports to the internet.

Like sitting in front of it

Real full screen, files dragged onto the desktop, screenshots, connection stats and automatic reconnection.

Monitor, IDE and automations

With nothing to install on your servers: they go over the same SSH connection as your terminal.

AI

With your own Anthropic or OpenAI key, or with a model on your computer.

Terminal assistant

Explains errors and suggests commands; it only runs what you confirm.

IDE agent

Reads and searches the project and proposes changes as diffs. By default it asks about every change and command; its modes let you decide how much it does on its own.

Desktop AI

Looks at the screen and uses the keyboard and mouse, in Auto, Manual or Plan mode.

Model from the chat

Switch models without going to Settings: Anthropic, OpenAI and whatever you have in Ollama, LM Studio or another local server.

Images

Attach up to five images to your message: a screenshot of an error, a design, a diagram.

Tokens and cost

Every chat shows the conversation’s tokens and, with Claude, roughly what it costs.

Your cloud

Your servers from DigitalOcean, Hetzner Cloud, AWS EC2, Vultr and Linode, always up to date.

Sync and teams

Your hosts on all your computers and your team’s on each of theirs, encrypted before they leave.

Encrypted sync

Hosts, keys, identities and snippets in your iCloud Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive or Google Drive folder, or on your WebDAV.

Team vaults

An encrypted vault in a shared folder: every teammate gets the hosts with their key, their tunnels and an already verified fingerprint.

No Nodo servers

Only you and your team know the password, and the data goes only to your own storage.

Security

Your secrets stay on your machine.

System keychain

Passwords, keys and passphrases go to Keychain, Credential Manager or Secret Service.

FIDO2 keys

Create your SSH keys on a YubiKey: every connection asks for a touch and, if you want, the PIN.

Verified fingerprints

The first time, Nodo shows you the server’s fingerprint, and warns you clearly if it changes.

Signed updates

Every update is signed, and the app verifies the signature before installing it.

Keyboard

Every frequent action has a shortcut, and you can change any of them.

On your system

A real desktop app on macOS, Windows and Linux.

macOS, Windows and Linux

Apple Silicon and Intel, Windows 10 and 11, and Linux x86_64 and ARM64.

English and Spanish

Follows your system’s language, and you change it in Settings › Appearance.

In the menu bar

The monitor, alerts, tunnels and your recent hosts one click away; on Windows and Linux, in the tray.

Updates itself

Downloads every release in the background, verifies its signature and asks you before restarting.

Light and dark

A light, dark or system theme, with six accent colors.

Lightweight

Written in Rust with your system’s web engine: the installed app takes up 96 MB.
