Built for the age of terminal AI

The tabbed SSH client where Ctrl+V pastes images.

Paste an image straight into a remote terminal with Ctrl+V — its path lands at your cursor so tools like Claude Code or Codex can read it instantly. Where VS Code needs an extension, this terminal just works.

The headline feature

Made for AI coding workflows.

Screenshots are how we describe UI bugs, error dialogs, design mocks — everything. Ctrl-V Terminal makes them a first-class input for your remote AI coding session.

  1. 1

    Copy an image

    Anywhere — a screenshot tool, browser, Figma, a chat window. It goes on your Windows clipboard as usual.

  2. 2

    Press Ctrl+V in the terminal

    Ctrl-V Terminal detects the image on the clipboard and uploads it to the remote host over the same SSH connection.

  3. 3

    The path pastes at your cursor

    The remote file path (e.g. /tmp/ctrl-v/screenshot-1234.png) is typed in at the cursor — ready for Claude Code, vim, a shell prompt, or wherever you were.

Think of it as Ctrl+V that actually works over remote SSH — no more scp gymnastics, no more "let me describe the screenshot in words". A MobaXterm-alternative purpose-built for AI-assisted development.

Everything you'd expect. A few things you wouldn't.

A full terminal, done properly.

Tabbed SSH terminals

A fast, stable renderer that handles full-screen TUIs like htop, btop, k9s, vim and neovim without artefacts.

Editable multi-line pasteNew

Pasting several lines? Review and edit the block in a dialog before it runs — MobaXterm-style paste confirmation, but editable.

Select text in any appNew

Drag to select text even in apps that grab the mouse — Claude Code, vim, tmux. Copy-on-select and Ctrl+Shift+C included.

Claude usage meterNew

See your Claude Code usage — 5-hour session and weekly limits — live in the menu bar. No token to paste; just pick the host you're logged in on. Why this matters over SSH →

Tab activity alertsNew

Run a long job in a background tab — the moment it finishes or asks for input, the tab lights up and you get an in-app or Windows notification.

Busy tab indicatorNew

A tab's dot pulses while its terminal is producing output and settles when it goes quiet — see which background sessions are working at a glance.

Persistent sessions via tmux

Your work survives network hiccups. Close the lid, walk to the next room, resume from another PC — the session is exactly where you left it.

VNC remote desktop

Connect direct, via Apple / ARD auth, or tunnel over SSH. Pick per-session quality (Fast / Balanced / Sharp), with view-only mode and clipboard sync.

SFTP file manager

Browse, upload and download files and whole folders, multi-select, Explorer-style cut/copy/paste, and drag-and-drop.

Drag files to your desktopNew

Drag any file straight out of the SFTP browser onto Windows to download it. It streams over your existing SSH connection — no extra setup.

Tear-off tabs

Drag any tab out into its own window. Rearrange, rename, close — same as your browser. Great for side-by-side sessions.

Split panesNew

Split any tab into up to 4 resizable terminals — side-by-side, stacked, or a 2×2 grid. Turn on Broadcast to type one command into every pane at once.

Colour, rename & reorder tabs

Colour-code tabs to group related sessions, double-click to rename, and drag to reorder them like a browser.

Live host status bar

CPU, memory, network, uptime, and disk — always visible in the status bar of every remote session.

Clickable linksNew

URLs in the terminal are clickable and open in your browser — even when they wrap across multiple lines.

PuTTY session import

On first launch it detects your PuTTY install and imports every saved session — hostnames, ports, keys, colors. No manual configuration.

Master passwordProNew

Encrypt every saved session password with one master password only you know, asked at startup. Optional “remember on this PC” skips the prompt on your own machine.

Encrypted session export & import

Move your sessions between machines with a single, passphrase-protected file — export from one PC, import on another. Everything stays local otherwise.

Searchable color schemes

Ships with dozens of themes — search, preview, pick. Remembered per session. Your late-night eyes will thank you.

Session & window restore

Reopen your tabs (names, colours, order) and window layout after a crash or update.

“Tux Wars” screensaverNew

A playful penguin screensaver kicks in when the app goes idle.

Built-in auto-update

New versions install themselves in the background. You get bug fixes and features without lifting a finger.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is it free?

Yes. The free version has every feature enabled and lets you keep up to 3 saved sessions — enough to try it in earnest on your real setup. The one-time Pro license removes the session limit and lets you install it on up to 3 devices.

What does the Pro version add?

Claude usage alerts when you approach the 5-hour or weekly limit, unlimited saved sessions, install on up to 3 of your own devices, priority support, and a password-protected screensaver lock. All future 1.x updates are included. It's a one-time purchase — no subscription, no expiring license.

Can I buy multiple seats for my team?

Yes — Business ships as three fixed packages: 5 seats for €79.95 (€15.99/seat, save €20 vs 5× Pro), 25 seats for €299.75 (€11.99/seat, save €200), or 50 seats for €499.50 (€9.99/seat, save €500 — half the per-seat price). Each pack ships as one license key that activates on all seats in the pack. We can invoice with VAT (reverse-charge for valid EU VAT IDs). Need a different quantity, PO, or custom terms? Request a quote.

Which Windows versions are supported?

Windows 10 and Windows 11, 64-bit. There is no macOS or Linux build at the moment.

Is my data safe?

Your sessions live on your PC — they never leave it. Passwords and passphrases are encrypted at rest using the Windows Data Protection API (DPAPI). Session exports are additionally protected with a passphrase you choose. Nothing about your hosts, credentials or usage is sent to us.

Does it auto-update?

Yes — updates are downloaded and installed in the background. You can opt out in settings if you'd rather pin a version. All releases are also published on GitHub.

Why does Windows SmartScreen warn about the installer?

Right now the installer is unsigned — Windows SmartScreen has to build up "reputation" for a new publisher and code-signing certificates for a small vendor are expensive. If you see the blue warning, click "More info" and then "Run anyway". A properly signed build is on the roadmap. All releases are published on GitHub so you can verify checksums if you'd like.

How can I request a feature or report a bug?

Use the short form at Suggest a feature. It lands directly in our inbox — we read every submission and reply to the email address you leave (usually within one business day). If you prefer discussing ideas openly so others can upvote and comment, GitHub Discussions on the releases repo works too.
