Built for Power Users
Everything you need in one terminal
From AI-assisted workflows to Kubernetes cluster management — Tempest handles it all.
14 Protocols
SSH, RDP, VNC, SFTP, FTP, S3, WebDAV, Telnet, RCON, Kubernetes, Serial, Local Shell, MSYS, and Zmodem in one app.
Cross-Platform Sync
Work seamlessly across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Sessions sync automatically.
Zero-Knowledge E2E
Encryption happens only on your device. Your credentials never leave your control.
AI-Powered
Describe it in English. It gets done.
Tempest's built-in AI agent reads the error, plans the fix, runs the commands, and explains what changed — in one conversation, inside your terminal.
-
Natural language to shell commands — just describe the task
-
Autonomous multi-step execution with human-in-the-loop control
-
Bring your own AI provider for complete privacy control
-
Operate multiple servers in parallel — compare, sync, and migrate across hosts in a single conversation
Need more than a quick fix? Connect external coding agents over ACP and hand them the long-running, complex tasks — they keep working in your session while you watch and steer from any device.

Not only for humans
Built for AI, too.
AI agent can open sessions and operate your remote servers directly, over the same synced, end-to-end encrypted connections you already use.
- TUI Automation.
- Tempest provide AI a real VT terminal, an agent can drive full-screen TUIs such as BIOS/UEFI over serial, vim, htop
- Tempest CLI.
- Script connections and run commands from any shell or pipeline — scriptable, headless, automation-ready.
- MCP server.
- Plug Tempest into Claude or any MCP client and let the agent operate remote hosts itself.
Kubernetes
Built for the Kubernetes workflow
kubectl, Helm, k9s and stern are already at home. Every cluster runs in its own isolated shell, and your kubeconfig syncs between laptop and phone.
-
Parallel by default — every cluster gets its own isolated shell, no KUBECONFIG gymnastics
-
Your tools, out of the box — kubectl, Helm, k9s and stern pick up the right context automatically
-
Kubeconfig, synced — end-to-end encrypted and available on every device you sign in from
Continuous Sessions
Start on desktop. Pick it up on your phone.
It's Handoff for your terminal. Tempest's session sharing mirrors a live session from your desktop — full read and write — straight to your phone over its own end-to-end encrypted protocol. Your machine keeps running; you just step in from your pocket. Got an AI agent like Claude working away in a session? Watch it, type into it, and keep steering from anywhere.
-
Live read & write mirror
-
End-to-end encrypted protocol
-
Handoff-style continuity
One workspace
Unlimited tabs. Everything in one grid.
Text editors, file explorers, terminals, RDP and VNC consoles — like a Dell iDRAC remote console — plus AI, Tempest Drive, and the Performance Monitor. Open as many as you want and lay them all out in a single grid. No alt-tab, no app-switching.
-
Unlimited tabs — open as many sessions as you need
-
Text editor, file explorer, terminals, RDP & VNC — all in one grid
-
Browser-based remote console, like Dell iDRAC — no alt-tab
-
AI, Tempest Drive & Performance Monitor, docked in the same grid
Fast & keyboard-first
A better SSH & SFTP client
A native Rust core that gets out of your way. Drive every session from the keyboard, spin up a new one in a keystroke, and run it anywhere — desktop, phone, or self-hosted in your browser.
- Native Rust core.
- Built in Rust with GPU-accelerated rendering — sustains 120Hz and stays instant under heavy load.
- Keyboard-first.
- Every action has a shortcut. Manage connections, files and tabs without ever reaching for the mouse.
- Global command palette.
- Pop it open from anywhere and launch a new session in a single keystroke.
- Web & Docker deploy.
- Self-host with Docker or Kubernetes, or run Tempest right in the browser — your terminal, your infrastructure.
- Phone = desktop.
- Identical features on mobile and PC, synced end-to-end. Start on one, finish on the other.
- Every protocol, encrypted.
- SSH, SFTP, RDP, VNC, S3, WebDAV and more — zero-knowledge end-to-end, keys never leave your device.

Testimonials
Loved by developers worldwide
"Beside its functions what is most impressive is the pace of improvements and the speed of fixes in response to minor bug reports. Not to forget you get a lifetime license at a very fair price compared to other SSH Clients subscription models. Works across multiple devices like a charm."
