The details that matter.

  • Connection types

    Match protocols to your environment.

    Termind
    SSH, Telnet, SFTP, and serial

    Core connections are free. Serial sessions are available on macOS; combine terminals and file browsers in a multi-pane workspace.

    Prompt 3
    SSH, Telnet, Mosh, Eternal Terminal

    Mosh and Eternal Terminal help sessions survive unstable networks. Local shell sessions are available on macOS.

  • Port forwarding

    Reach remote services through SSH tunnels.

    Termind
    Free; multi-connection acceleration with Pro

    Create multiple forwarding rules for free. On macOS, Pro spreads local and dynamic forwarding traffic across multiple SSH connections.

    Prompt 3
    SSH port forwarding

    Set up SSH tunnels and use jump hosts to reach servers behind another host.

  • Built-in AI

    Generate commands or hand off a multi-step task.

    Termind
    Free command generation; Assistant with Pro

    Use your own model key. The Assistant runs commands and handles files within your chosen permissions, with skills, remote MCP tools, and optional local memory. Model usage is billed separately.

    Prompt 3
    No built-in AI features

    No AI command generator or conversational assistant.

  • External agents

    Connect your preferred AI client.

    Termind
    Built-in MCP server · Pro

    On macOS, give clients such as Codex and Claude Code access to saved hosts, SSH commands, and SFTP files. Enable tools individually and review each call in the audit log.

    Prompt 3
    Not supported

    No built-in MCP server for exposing hosts or SSH tools to external agents.

  • Built-in Tailscale

    Connect to your private network from the app.

    Termind
    In-app Tailnet access · Pro

    Sign in and sync Tailscale devices in Vault groups; each group can use a different Tailnet. No separate client or system VPN is needed. SSH and SFTP require Tailscale SSH on the server.

    Prompt 3
    No built-in Tailscale integration

    Use a separate Tailscale client before connecting. VPN on Demand activates a configured system VPN; it does not manage a Tailnet.
