About Conduit: Terminal, SSH & SFTP
Conduit is a local-first terminal workspace for SSH, Mosh, SFTP, and local shells.
It is built for people who need terminals from a phone without creating an account, syncing credentials through a service, or paying a subscription to open a shell.
Connect to remote machines over SSH or Mosh, browse files with SFTP, or run a full Arch Linux shell right on the device - pacman and all - with no root and no remote server.
Features:
* SSH terminal sessions
* Local Arch Linux shell on-device (Android, arm64) with pacman, running unprivileged through proot - no root, no server; downloads an Arch Linux ARM image on first use
* Mosh roaming for unreliable mobile networks
* Tmux auto attach/create per host, with start directories, prefix keys, action shortcuts, and scrollback mode
* SFTP file browsing and export
* Import SSH private keys from a file, or generate an Ed25519 key on device
* Optional passphrase encryption for generated keys, with public-key copy and export
* OpenSSH FIDO hardware-key authentication, tested with YubiKey
* External authentication that lets the SSH server authenticate you without saved credentials
* USB and NFC support for CTAP-compatible security keys
* Saved machine profiles with tags, search, and sorting by last connected, name, or date added
* Local credential and trusted host key storage
* Trusted host key prompts and key management
* App lock with device authentication when supported
* Tabbed terminal workspace
* Customizable key row with modifier, navigation, and function keys, key repeat, latching modifiers, and your own text and control-key shortcuts
* 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.
