Features

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

No bloated UI, no recurring fees, no config exported to the cloud. Just a fast, reliable terminal workspace.

Multi-pane terminal workspace

Split any terminal horizontally or vertically. Drag panes to rearrange. Enable Broadcast Mode to push a command to every pane simultaneously - run the same command across your entire fleet in one keystroke.

AI Server Briefing Catch Me Up

One click runs a battery of recon commands in parallel - services, disk, memory, open ports, recent logins, running processes - and streams an AI-written plain-English briefing. Know what's happening on a host in seconds, not minutes.

Parallel recon AI-powered summary Instant situational awareness

SSH Key Vault

Generate ed25519 or RSA key pairs, import your existing keys, and store passphrases in the OS keychain - never in a flat config file. Keys never leave your machine.

Built-in SFTP Browser

Browse, upload, download, rename, and delete files without switching apps. Opens alongside your terminal - no separate tool needed.

Bastion / Jump Host

Configure a jump host per-connection. Reach private hosts behind a bastion with a single click - RootDeck handles the tunnel transparently.

Command Palette `Ctrl+K`

Fuzzy-connect to any host, look up well-known ports, run DNS queries, IP geolocation, and CIDR subnet math - all keyboard-driven, without leaving the window.

Auto-Reconnect

Network hiccup? RootDeck reconnects automatically with a visible countdown. Typing exit never triggers a reconnect loop.

Snippet Library

Save frequently-used commands and one-liners. Fire them into any pane from the command palette - no more digging through shell history.

Local Terminal

Open a local shell tab alongside your remote sessions. Work locally and remotely in the same window without switching apps.

Open Data Formats

Config lives in plain SQLite and PEM files. Open them in any editor, back them up with cp, or query them with sqlite3. No proprietary formats, no lock-in.

11 Themes + WebGL Rendering

GitHub Dark, Dracula, Nord, Monokai, Solarized, Tokyo Night, and more. WebGL-accelerated rendering for crisp Nerd Fonts at any resolution.

Pricing
