Hatoba keeps your hosts, keys, and terminal sessions in one place, syncs them between your devices, and puts an AI assistant beside each terminal.

• AI in every terminal. The assistant reads the screen, runs commands, and edits files on the host, and you choose what it may do without asking.
• No Hatoba server. Sync runs entirely in your Cloudflare account, so nobody else holds your data.
• End-to-end encrypted. Everything is encrypted on your device before it leaves, so a leaked Worker, D1 database, or even the whole Cloudflare account exposes only ciphertext.
• Local first. Everything works offline, and sync is optional.
• Windows first. A custom title bar with Snap Layouts, Mica, Segoe UI and Cascadia fonts, and Windows input methods. Each release also has Linux packages and an experimental macOS build.

Features

• AI assistant: reads the screen, runs commands, edits files on the host or your own computer, and searches the web. You approve its actions, or let Auto mode approve the safe ones. It works with an OpenAI-compatible or Anthropic API key or a ChatGPT plan, and supports skills and MCP servers.
• Hosts: SSH and Telnet hosts with groups, tags, fuzzy search, and proxies, plus ~/.ssh/config import and ProxyJump for SSH. Type ssh user@host or telnet host in the search box to connect without saving a host.
• Coding agents: Claude Code, Codex, and scripts run commands and copy files on your saved hosts with the hatoba command, while passwords and keys stay in Hatoba. The hatoba-cli skill shows agents how.
• Resource usage: the CPU, memory, disks, and network of every saved host, read over SSH with nothing to install on the servers.
• Terminal: tabs, truecolor, CJK input methods, search, and clickable links, with local shells such as PowerShell, WSL, or your login shell beside the SSH tabs.
• SFTP: a file panel beside the terminal with drag-and-drop upload and download, and remote files edited in your own editor, uploaded on every save.
• Port forwarding: local, remote, and SOCKS forwards that can start with the connection or run without a terminal.
• Authentication: passwords, Ed25519, ECDSA, and RSA keys, ssh-agent, and 2FA, with OpenSSH, PEM, and PuTTY key import and key generation.
• Security: host key verification, a master password with a recovery code, and auto-lock.
• Sync: incremental sync between your devices, with conflicts you can review item by item and a device list with revocation.
• Languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese, following the system language unless you pick one in Settings.

The documentation covers each one in detail.
