A while back, I switched devices.
Simple enough, right? Except I was on Termius Free and apparently
host sync is a Pro feature. So everything I had set up, hosts, SSH
keys, credentials, none of it carried over. I had to start from scratch.
That was the moment I thought: why am I paying for something that
holds my own data hostage behind a paywall?
So I built Termique.
One month. One developer. Zero co-founders.
I started in early May. Today, Termique is a fully working SSH manager
for macOS, Windows, and Linux, built with Tauri, React, Hono,
PostgreSQL, Firebase, and Cloudflare Workers.
The hardest part wasn't the code. I built most of it with AI assistance.
The real challenge was figuring out what to build, which features
actually matter, how sync should work securely, and what should never
leave your device.
The second hardest part? Security auditing. Making sure nothing leaks
that shouldn't. Credentials stay encrypted on your device. The server
never sees plaintext. No telemetry on your sessions.
What it does today
Add a host on your laptop. Open your desktop. It's already there, IP,
port, SSH key and all. No re-setup. No copy-pasting credentials between
machines.
That's the thing I'm most proud of. It sounds simple, but that's
exactly the point.
Where we are
12 users, still very early. Launching on Product Hunt on June 15th.
Free plan available, Pro is $5/month, half of what frustrated me in
the first place.
If you've ever been annoyed by Termius pricing or just want an SSH
manager that doesn't feel bloated, I'd love for you to try it and
tell me what you think.
