Versions:
Wharf is a keyboard-driven terminal SSH client published by Janne6565, currently at version 0.4.0 with four released versions in total. It is designed to manage SSH hosts, keys, and sessions from a fast, keyboard-driven terminal user interface, making it relevant to the category of terminal utilities and SSH connection management tools. Its purpose is to consolidate the typical workflows associated with remote server access—organizing connection targets, handling authentication keys, and maintaining active sessions—into a single interface that can be operated entirely from the keyboard without leaving the terminal environment. A defining characteristic of the software is its local-first architecture: all of its functionality works without requiring an account, and user data is backed by a local encrypted vault that stores SSH hosts, keys, and session information on the user's own machine. For users who need their configuration available across multiple devices, signing in optionally enables end-to-end encrypted cross-machine synchronization, along with shared team projects that allow groups to collaborate on common SSH infrastructure. These cloud-assisted features operate under a zero-knowledge model, meaning the server only ever holds ciphertext and never has access to the plaintext contents of the vault, keys, or session data. This design makes Wharf suitable for several use cases, including individual developers and system administrators who want a fast terminal-native way to organize and connect to their SSH hosts, users managing multiple machines who want synchronized configuration without exposing sensitive credentials to a service provider, and teams that need to share SSH project configurations while preserving strong confidentiality guarantees. Because it combines local encrypted storage, optional end-to-end encrypted sync, and team sharing in a single keyboard-driven TUI, Wharf fits within categories such as developer tools, terminal applications, SSH clients, and security-conscious credential or connection management software.
