Three steps. No servers in the middle.
- 01
Add a host
Import from ~/.ssh/config or add manually. Keys live in the platform keychain — never in plaintext on disk.
- 02
Connect
Biometric unlock, host-key verification, modern cipher suites. SSH goes directly from your device to the server.
- 03
Ship from anywhere
Snippets, port forwarding, SFTP, and a terminal tuned for Claude Code — paste a command, run it, copy output back.
Everything an SSH session needs. Nothing it doesn’t.
Built for Claude Code
A terminal layout tuned for long-running AI sessions: large-font mode, one-tap output copy, snippet recall, and share-ready transcripts.
Modern terminal
xterm-compatible emulator, true color, ligatures, and GPU-accelerated rendering on every platform.
Key auth & host verification
Ed25519, ECDSA, and RSA. Host keys verified on first use and stored in your platform's keychain.
Snippets
Save the commands you run over and over. Paste them into any session with one tap, or bind to a shortcut.
Biometric lock
Face ID, Touch ID, or fingerprint unlocks the app and individual sessions. Keys stay encrypted at rest.
Session export
Export any session transcript as clean plaintext or Markdown — perfect for pasting into a PR, a bug report, or Claude.
Port forwarding
Local, remote, and dynamic forwards. First-class UI for managing tunnels without editing a config file.
SFTP
Browse, upload, and download files over your existing SSH connection. No separate client, no extra credentials.
Reconnect that actually works
Sleep your phone, ride the subway, come back — your session picks up where it left off, transcript intact.
No. Vector is built with a local-first architecture. All hosts, keys, snippets, and session transcripts are stored on your device’s Keychain or Keystore. There is no telemetry. No analytics. No data collection. SSH connections are established directly from your device — nothing is proxied through Vector.

What is Vector?
A local-first SSH client for Android, iOS, and desktop. It’s designed for the way developers actually use SSH today — including long-running Claude Code sessions — without giving up modern terminal features.
How is this different from Termius?
Termius routes through their servers and requires an account to sync. Vector doesn’t sync — keys and sessions stay on the device where you created them. You pay once; there’s no subscription.
How does the free trial work?
Download Vector and use the full app for 14 days — every feature, no card required. After the trial, a one-time $9.99 purchase unlocks it for good. No subscription. No auto-renewal.
What does the $9.99 purchase include?
Every feature the app ships with. Future updates ship to you through the App Store or Play Store like any other app. We don’t gate features behind a subscription.
What platforms are supported?
Android and iOS are shipping in 2026. Desktop (macOS, Windows, Linux) follows. The app is Kotlin Multiplatform — same engine, native UI shell on each platform.
Does Vector collect any data?
No. Vector is built with a local-first architecture. Hosts, keys, snippets, and session transcripts live on your device’s Keychain or Keystore. There is no telemetry, no analytics, no data collection. SSH connections are established directly from your device — nothing is proxied through Vector.
What about feedback and crash reports?
Feedback is always opt-in and user-initiated. If you file feedback from inside the app, we post your message to a public GitHub issues repo — you see exactly what gets shared before it’s sent. We don’t use third-party crash-reporting SDKs.
What’s open-source vs proprietary?
The core SSH engine is MIT-licensed and developed in the open. The packaged app — UI, platform integrations, polish — is proprietary. That’s what your purchase supports.
Who’s behind Vector?
Nathan Krebs — independent developer. Vector is built solo, with the product bar of a team twice its size.
Vector is on its way.
