A secure web-based, collaborative terminal

two terminal windows running sshx and three live cursors

sshx lets you share your terminal with anyone by link, on a multiplayer infinite canvas.

It has real-time collaboration, with remote cursors and chat. It's also fast and end-to-end encrypted, with a lightweight server written in Rust.

Install sshx with a single command. Use it for teaching, debugging, or cloud access.

Collaborative

Invite people by sharing a secure, unique browser link.

Cross-platform

Install the client in under a second, on macOS and Linux.

Infinite canvas

Create several terminals, then arrange and resize them in real time.

Live presence

See other people's names and cursors while they're connected.

End-to-end encrypted

Send terminal data securely; the server never sees what you're typing.

Ultra-fast mesh networking

Connect from anywhere to the nearest distributed peer in a global network.

Get started with two quick steps
