Hey Product Hunt 👋

I’m Andy, maker of GoTerm.

So I built GoTerm: an SSH client that lives on a gateway instead of on one computer.

What that means in practice:

  • Real terminal in any browser. vim, tmux, htop all work, over HTTPS, so it even works where port 22 is blocked.

  • Sessions keep running. Start a job at your desk, close the lid, reattach from your phone. Output from while you were away replays when you’re back.

  • Web tabs. Open Grafana, a staging site or a router admin page through the SSH connection you already have. No port forwarding, no tunnel setup.

  • Built for teams. Live session sharing (read-only enforced server-side), time-limited access grants, session recording and an audit log.

Since it holds the keys to your servers, security got the most thought: every secret is sealed with its own AES-256-GCM key, new devices must be confirmed, host keys are pinned, and terminal traffic never passes through a CDN.

The desktop app (macOS, Windows, Linux) is free. Web terminal and persistent sessions start at $5/month.

I’d love your honest feedback, especially: what’s the one thing that would make you switch from your current SSH client? I’ll be here all day answering questions. 🙏

Two things worth considering before launch day. Paid plans currently start by emailing , and PH visitors tend to drop off when they can’t sign up on the spot, so either a self-serve trial or a clear “reply within X hours” promise would help. And ending with a specific question (like the one above) usually gets more replies than a generic “let me know what you think.”
