Security
Trust boundaries you can point to.
vecterm doesn't ship terminal data to a third party. It integrates with the platform's secure storage, verifies every host, and treats your infrastructure as the only source of truth.
Read the security overviewLocal-first architecture
Sessions, connections, and history stay on your machine unless you opt in to cloud sync.
Keychain-backed credentials
Secrets live in macOS Keychain. vecterm requests them through references, never stores plaintext.
Explicit host verification
Every new host is confirmed with a fingerprint. Mismatches block the connection until reviewed.
Redacted logs by default
Sensitive command output can be redacted from history and never leaves the device.
