Hi Product Hunt, I'm Pavel, the maker.
I've used PuTTY at work for years. I like it, but working with many sessions in separate windows got painful, editing sessions never felt natural, and my Mac colleagues have nothing like it. The alternatives I tried were either much bigger, Windows-only, or tied to accounts and subscriptions.
So I built SSHTermaq, mostly for myself, and I now use it every day:
Imports your PuTTY sessions, host keys and .ppk keys in one click, plus ~/.ssh/config
Tabs, split panes, and typing into all panes at once
SFTP panel next to the terminal (same connection, no second login) and a two-pane file manager like WinSCP
SSH, Telnet and serial ports, port forwarding, jump hosts
About 5 MB, not Electron. No account, no telemetry. Free and MIT-licensed
How it's built: a C++ core with libssh, and the UI in React inside the system web view (WebView2 on Windows, WKWebView on macOS). It was built with a lot of AI help, and I test it mostly in my own daily work, so feedback from other setups helps a lot.
Not there yet: Linux, a local shell tab (planned), SSH certificates and Kerberos.
What would you need to switch from your current SSH client?
