No Vector account
Vector does not require an email address, username, password, or sign-up. Open the app, add a host, connect.
Trust
Vector does not ask you to trust a cloud account with SSH.
Vector is an SSH client. It connects from your device to servers you configure, stores app data locally, and avoids the product surfaces that turn a terminal into a hosted account system.
No Vector backend
Normal app use does not contact a Vector-operated server. SSH, SFTP, port forwards, Mosh, and Workspaces connect to hosts you configure.
No in-app telemetry
The app does not include product analytics, advertising SDKs, or third-party crash-reporting SDKs.
Local storage
Hosts, keys, snippets, preferences, and session logs live on your device. Exports are files you choose to create.
What leaves the device
When you connect to an SSH or SFTP host, Vector sends the data required by that protocol to the host you configured. That includes authentication, terminal input and output, SFTP transfers, and port-forward traffic.
Workspaces are managed over that same SSH connection. Vector can discover and attach to remote tmux sessions without installing a Vector host daemon and without sending workspace metadata to us.
What stays local
Host configurations, known-host records, snippets, preferences, session logs, and credentials are stored on your device. Sensitive credentials use platform security storage where available.
If Vector offers backup or export flows, those are user-created files. You choose where they go. Vector does not host a backup or sync service.
What the site collects
This page is about the app. The marketing site uses Vercel Web Analytics for anonymous page-view counts. It sets no cookies and is disclosed in the Privacy Policy.
Verification status
We will publish release verification artifacts when the app ships. The intended checks are tracker scanning and a network inventory that records the app’s outbound connections during a scripted session. Until those artifacts are live, this page states the architecture and launch intent rather than claiming completed external verification.
Next
Read the legal policy, then follow the launch.
The privacy policy is the legal version of this page. Launch details will be announced on @VectorSSH when the store pages are ready.
