SSH and remote terminal managers
A cluster of 21 products for SSH-based remote access and terminal management, including command-line bridges, terminal emulators, tunnel managers, and desktop workbenches. The dated history shows an early single entry in 2020, a gap, then a low stream from late 2024 with a modest increase in early 2026 (entries in March, April, and July). Traction is led by herdrx with 22 stars, followed by KodeWork (2 stars) and susshi (0 stars).
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
