How's this different from any other SSH connection? SSH is always E2E encrypted and has PFS.


Yes - but here, you can also save hosts credentials (ip, port, user, password/key...) on a remote server. This data is E2E encrypted, and the key to decrypt it is a hash of your master password (the hash is stored in the credential vault of your OS, but never your clear password - and the remote server only stores the encrypted hosts data).

This allows you to connect to your account on the app from any computer and be able to connect to your saved SSH hosts.

This also means that only your master password can unlock the encrypted data, so if you lose it: no way to recover the data.

Note: You will be able to self-host the server if needed.
