Web SSH client

A full SSH client in the browser tab

Locked-down workstation, borrowed laptop, or a fleet of machines you'd rather not install software on — Tempest Web brings the complete client to the browser: real terminal, SFTP file manager, and your end-to-end encrypted host list. Deploy it yourself with Docker or Kubernetes, or get it managed with Tempest Enterprise.

The Tempest workspace grid — the browser edition serves this same UI as a URL

Nothing to install

The same client, served as a URL

Tempest Web isn't a cut-down gateway page — it's the Tempest workspace in a tab: tabs, split screens, file transfers, and the same zero-knowledge encrypted profiles.

Full VT-compliant terminal — vim, htop, and tmux behave.
SFTP file manager with editing, right in the browser. SFTP docs
Your host list follows your login, end-to-end encrypted. How E2EE works
The full Tempest workspace — server list, sessions and remote files; the browser edition serves the same UI

Your servers, your rules

Self-host the whole thing

For teams whose credentials must never touch third-party infrastructure, the entire Tempest backend — sync, relay, web client — deploys on your hardware.

Docker Compose or Kubernetes deployment, behind your firewall. Self-hosting guide
Relays broker connections so credentials never reach the browser.
SSO/SAML, audit logs, and session recordings on Enterprise.

For the whole team

Onboard an engineer with a link

New teammate, new contractor, incident bridge with someone who has nothing installed — send the URL, they're in the right server with the right access, and every session can be recorded.

Centralized host and access management from the team console.
Shared encrypted vaults for team credentials.
Works alongside the desktop and mobile apps — same account, same hosts.

Frequently asked questions

Is the web SSH client free?
The browser edition ships with self-hosted deployments and Tempest Enterprise. The desktop and mobile apps have a permanent free plan — if you don't specifically need browser access, start there. Free SSH client
How do my SSH keys work in a browser, securely?
Profiles stay end-to-end encrypted with keys derived from your login on the client side. In relay-brokered team setups, host credentials are injected by the relay and never reach the browser at all.
Can I try it without self-hosting?
Yes — Tempest Enterprise includes the managed web edition. Contact sales from the pricing page, or spin up the self-hosted stack with Docker in a few minutes. Self-hosting guide
Does it support SFTP and file editing like the desktop app?
Yes — browse, upload, download, and edit remote files over SFTP from the browser, plus S3, WebDAV, and FTP storage.
What browsers are supported?
Current Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. There's nothing to install and no extensions required.
