Meet Pluto Door — the macOS SSH client that makes plain terminals feel ancient. Connect to any server with terminal, file browser, code editor, and AI in one beautiful app. Debug configs, edit files, drag-and-drop uploads, and stay in flow. 100% local and secure — keys and passwords stay on your Mac in Keychain. Just $12. No subscriptions, no BS.
Hey Product Hunt! I'm Krishna, dev behind Pluto Door.
I spent way too many hours SSH-ing into servers with five different tools open — a terminal here, an SFTP client there, a text editor somewhere, and Stack Overflow in another tab. I thought, why isn't there one app that just does all of this?
So I built it.
Pluto Door gives you a terminal, file browser, code editor, and an AI assistant that actually knows what's on your server — all in one native macOS app. No Electron bloat, it's built with Tauri and Rust so it stays fast and lightweight.
A few things I'm proud of:
- AI that has context — it can see your files and terminal, so you get real answers, not generic ones
- Privacy-first — your SSH keys and credentials are encrypted in macOS Keychain. Nothing hits the cloud. Ever.
- One-time $12 — no subscriptions, no tiers, no "contact sales"
This is v1 and I have a ton of ideas for where to take it next. Would love to hear what features you'd want to see — drop a comment and I'll be building in public.
Thanks for checking it out!
Can you manage multiple SSH connections at the same time with tabs or split view? Congrats on the launch!
You chose a local-first, no-account, pay-once model (and only a one-time license verification call). What product tradeoffs did that force—e.g., no cloud sync/team sharing—and how are you prioritizing features that teams often want (shared connection lists, vault integration, policy controls) without compromising that stance?
