About Conduit

Conduit

Apache-2.0
Conduit is a local-first terminal workspace for SSH, Mosh, SFTP, and local shells. It is built for people who need terminals from a phone without creating an account, syncing credentials through a service, or paying a subscription to open a shell. Connect to remote machines over SSH or Mosh, browse files with SFTP, or run a full Arch Linux shell right on the device - pacman and all - with no root and no remote server. Features: * SSH terminal sessions * Local Arch Linux shell on-device (Android, arm64) with pacman, running unprivileged through proot - no root, no server; downloads an Arch Linux ARM image on first use * Mosh roaming for unreliable mobile networks * Tmux auto attach/create per host, with start directories, prefix keys, action shortcuts, and scrollback mode * SFTP file browsing and export * Import SSH private keys from a file, or generate an Ed25519 key on device * Optional passphrase encryption for generated keys, with public-key copy and export * OpenSSH FIDO hardware-key authentication, tested with YubiKey * External authentication that lets the SSH server authenticate you without saved credentials * USB and NFC support for CTAP-compatible security keys * Saved machine profiles with tags, search, and sorting by last connected, name, or date added * Local credential and trusted host key storage * Trusted host key prompts and key management * App lock with device authentication when supported * Tabbed terminal workspace * Customizable key row with modifier, navigation, and function keys, key repeat, latching modifiers, and your own text and control-key shortcuts * Fullscreen terminal mode * Terminal themes * Background keepalive through a foreground service Conduit does not require a Conduit account and does not use a Conduit sync service. Saved connection profiles, credentials, and trusted host keys are stored on device using platform secure storage. Mosh support requires mosh-server on the remote host and reachable UDP ports. Predictive echo is experimental and opt-in. The local Arch Linux shell uses tooling packaged by Termux, including proot, proot-distro, busybox, tar, xz, and supporting libraries. Conduit's own source is Apache-2.0; bundled third-party components keep their own licenses. Source-offer details are in THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES and third_party/source-offer.
