— why voltius<br>Built for engineers who care about their tools<br>Every feature exists because the alternatives were either missing it or locked it behind a paid tier.

Local-first forever<br>No account required. Works fully offline. Your data lives on your machine, not our servers.

No vendor lock-in<br>Import existing data from supported sources (Termius, MobaXterm, etc.). Your data is always exportable as open JSON.

Zero-knowledge E2EE sync<br>Your data is encrypted locally before leaving your device. We can't read it — and neither can attackers.

Native Rust performance<br>Built with Tauri + Rust. No Chromium overhead, snappy UI, tiny install footprint.

Cross-platform sync<br>Sync your connections, credentials, and settings across all your devices with end-to-end encryption.

SFTP with drag & drop<br>Transfer files between local, remote, or host-to-host with a native drag & drop interface.

Sessions that survive everything<br>tmux/screen-backed sessions outlive network drops and app restarts — and with cloud sync, the same live terminal can be open on all your devices at once, mirrored in real time.

Plugin system<br>Extend Voltius with first-party and community plugins. Gist Sync, process manager, and more.

Container management<br>Docker and Proxmox LXC. Browse containers, open terminals, manage resources — without leaving Voltius.

Audit logs<br>Review recent vault activity without leaving your workspace.

Fully open source — AGPLv3<br>AGPLv3<br>Every component — client, server, and crypto — is fully open source under AGPLv3. Audit the code, fork it, contribute back, or self-host the entire stack.
