Conduit

Local-first SSH, Mosh, and SFTP for mobile

Conduit is a local-first SSH, Mosh, and SFTP workspace.

It is built for people who need to reach real machines from a phone without creating an account, syncing credentials through a service, or paying a subscription to open a shell.

Features:

* SSH terminal sessions
* Mosh roaming for unreliable mobile networks
* SFTP file browsing and export
* OpenSSH FIDO hardware-key authentication, tested with YubiKey
* USB and NFC support for CTAP-compatible security keys
* Saved machine profiles with tags and search
* Local credential and trusted host key storage
* Trusted host key prompts and key management
* App lock with device authentication when supported
* Tabbed terminal workspace
* Mobile-friendly modifier, navigation, and function keys
* Fullscreen terminal mode
* Terminal themes
* Background keepalive through a foreground service

Conduit does not require a Conduit account and does not use a Conduit sync service. Saved connection profiles, credentials, and trusted host keys are stored on device using platform secure storage.

Mosh support requires mosh-server on the remote host and reachable UDP ports. Predictive echo is experimental and opt-in.
