## Features

### Full-Featured Terminal

Remote terminal (SSH / Telnet / Mosh), local & serial terminal (PowerShell / CMD / Git Bash / WSL), file transfer, remote desktop, database, containers, and server monitor — covering all remote access needs.

- **Remote Terminal** — SSH / Telnet / Mosh with password or key authentication; includes SSH tunnel port forwarding so any connection can route through an SSH jump host.
- **Local & Serial Terminal** — PowerShell / CMD / Git Bash / WSL plus serial connections with configurable baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity, and local echo.
- **File Transfer** — SFTP / FTP / FTPS / SMB / WebDAV / S3 / Zmodem with dual-pane browsing and `rz`/`sz` support in SSH terminals.
- **Remote Desktop** — RDP (Windows Remote Desktop), VNC (Linux remote control), SPICE (KVM/QEMU VMs), X11 (X Window forwarding)
- **Database Client** — MySQL / PostgreSQL / Oracle / SQL Server / rqlite / Redis / MongoDB.
- **Containers** — Kubernetes / Docker / Podman / nerdctl
- **Server Monitor** — Real-time CPU, memory, disk, network, processes, ports, and network interfaces.

### AI Assistant

Autonomous AI Agent that independently plans and executes multi-turn shell commands directly in your terminal.

- **Autonomous Multi-Turn Execution** — The AI Agent can plan, execute, observe results, and iterate across multiple rounds of shell commands without manual intervention.
- **LLM Integration** — Sidebar chat with Anthropic/OpenAI-compatible API, supporting Claude, GPT and other compliant models.
- **Flexible Execution Modes** — Bypass, dangerous only, dangerous + write, or confirm all — you control how much oversight the AI Agent needs.
- **Persistent Conversations** — Chat history is saved per session, so conversations survive app restarts.
- **Terminal Integration** — AI commands execute directly in the active terminal tab, with optional pinning to a specific tab or following your active one. Collaborate side-by-side in split panes, each with its own terminal context.
- **Smart Completion** — While typing in SSH terminals, get real-time suggestions from your command history and AI-powered command rewrites.
- **Skills & Commands** — Reusable skill workflows and prompt-template commands, attached with `/` in the AI input; the AI can also save new skills itself.

### Personalization

Connection management, split panes, cloud sync, themes — your terminal, your way.

- **Connection Manager** — Group, quickly search, create, and batch-operate server connections.
- **Split Panes** — Drag terminal tabs into the content area to split freely and combine them into a workspace; drag panel edges to resize and rearrange.
- **Cloud Sync** — Encrypt and auto-sync settings via your own decentralized private repo on GitHub, GitLab, or Gitee — no worry about data loss or leaks, and pick up your work seamlessly across devices.
- **Custom Keybindings** — Freely bind keyboard shortcuts for every action for full keyboard-driven operation, hands never leaving the keyboard.
- **Themes** — 28 terminal themes plus 3 UI themes (Dark / Deep Blue / Light) and a customizable background image.
- **Internationalization** — 9-language UI: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, German, Spanish, French, Russian.

## Download

Get the latest pre-built binaries from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/ys-ll/uniterm/releases) or [Gitee Releases](https://gitee.com/ys-l/uniterm/releases):

- **Windows** (amd64 / arm64): installer `uniterm-windows-*-installer-*.exe`, or portable `uniterm-windows-*-portable-*.zip`
- **macOS** (Intel / Apple Silicon): Download `uniterm-darwin-*-*.dmg`
- **Linux** (amd64 / arm64): Download `uniterm-linux-*-*.tar.gz`, `.deb`, or `.rpm`

> **About Windows antivirus false positives**: As this open-source software has not purchased a code-signing certificate, the unsigned executable may trigger false positives in some antivirus engines (e.g. Windows Defender). This is a known issue with Go/Wails applications (see [wailsapp/wails#3308](https://github.com/wailsapp/wails/issues/3308)). You can add an exclusion rule in your antivirus to allow it. Please download only from the official open-source channels — GitHub and Gitee. If you are still concerned about malware, you can download the source code and build and run it locally yourself.
