A lightweight
cross-platform
terminal & SSH client
Luma combines local and serial terminals, saved SSH connections, SFTP, and end-to-end encrypted config sync in one modern app. Use it locally without an account, bring your own sync provider, or sign in for optional Luma Cloud sync.

Features
Everything you need in one client
Local shells, remote sessions, file transfers, server monitoring, and secrets management — designed to work together instead of across a handful of separate tools.
Terminals
Fast native terminals rendered with xterm.js, with everything you expect from a modern console.
- Native PTY terminals via xterm.js
- Shell discovery and profiles
- Tabs with split panes
- Search, links, and WebGL rendering
- Serial terminals with port and baud
- Optional workspace persistence
SSH & host management
Organise every server and connect through one embedded SSH engine on desktop and mobile.
- Saved hosts, groups, tags, and search
- Embedded russh across every platform
- Encrypted reusable identities
- ProxyJump, keepalive, startup commands
- Auto-reconnecting sessions
- Explicit unknown-host confirmation
- Import from PuTTY, OpenSSH, Tabby, and Electerm
SFTP & productivity
Move files and run your workflows without leaving the app or reaching for another tool.
- Dual-pane local and remote browser
- Drag-and-drop transfers
- Progress, cancel, and retry
- Recursive directory transfers
- Direct host-to-host copies
- Parameterized snippet runner
- Port forwarding and command palette
Monitoring & collaboration
See what a server is doing and hand a session to someone else, with nothing to install on the host.
- Agentless server dashboard over SSH
- CPU, memory, disks, network, processes
- Docker containers and failed services
- Fleet health across saved hosts
- Agent inbox for coding agents
- End-to-end encrypted shared terminals
Security, backup & updates
Secrets stay encrypted and local, with optional end-to-end encrypted sync you control.
- Argon2id + XChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption
- OS keychain integration

- Redacting application logs
- Narrowly scoped Tauri capabilities
- Signed in-app updates
