vsCRT (Vaulted Secure Console & Remote Transfer) App is a lightweight, standalone desktop application that will bring the full power of vsCRT to anyone who needs a dedicated, distraction-free tool for remote server management. Currently under active development.
A purpose-built secure terminal experience as a lightweight standalone desktop application.
Store and organize your SSH, Telnet, serial, or other remote connection profiles in one place. Quickly reconnect without retyping details every time.
Open multiple remote sessions in tabs and switch between them easily. Monitor one server while working on another, or compare outputs side by side.
Group sessions by project, customer, region, team, or environment. Keep your connection list clean, scalable, and easy to manage.
Run common commands instantly from a saved command panel. Perfect for service checks, Docker commands, Kubernetes access, and maintenance tasks.
Automate repetitive terminal work with scripts and reusable task flows. Extend the concept pioneered by traditional secure terminal tools into a modern application.
Use secure storage for usernames, keys, and secrets. Designed to reduce unsafe practices such as hardcoding passwords or exposing credentials in plain text.
Highlight important words, patterns, errors, IP addresses, or alerts in terminal output so critical information stands out immediately.
Share session templates, command bundles, and environment definitions across teams while keeping sensitive values protected.
Built with Tauri, vsCRT App runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, providing a consistent remote terminal experience across all major desktop platforms.
No editor, no IDE, no extra overhead. vsCRT App runs as a dedicated desktop application that launches fast and stays focused on remote terminal operations.
Originally built on Electron, vsCRT App has been migrated to the Tauri framework for a faster, lighter, and more secure experience.
The move to Tauri brings improvements that matter for a tool focused on secure remote administration.
If your work involves frequent remote access and you want a focused, standalone tool without the overhead of a full code editor.
From infrastructure ops to network administration, vsCRT App fits into the way you already work.
Connect to multiple Linux servers, network devices, or jump hosts from a single, focused application without the overhead of a full code editor.
Manage switches, routers, firewalls, and lab devices from organized, saved session groups in a dedicated desktop tool.
Work with containers, CI/CD servers, Kubernetes clusters, and deployment targets from a lightweight standalone application.
Open customer or environment-specific sessions quickly and run standard troubleshooting commands with one click.
For users who do not use VS Code or prefer not to install a full editor, vsCRT App provides the same powerful session management in a standalone package.
Export and import session templates, command bundles, and environment definitions to standardize remote access workflows across your organization.
Both share the same core philosophy. The difference is where you prefer to work.
Built for users who already live inside VS Code and want remote terminal capabilities integrated into their editor workflow. Edit code and manage servers in the same window.
Built for users who want a dedicated, standalone tool for remote terminal management, independent of any code editor. A focused, distraction-free workspace for remote operations.
We are actively building vsCRT App — a standalone desktop application for secure remote terminal workflows, powered by Tauri. In the meantime, try vsCRT as a VS Code extension.
