A Termius alternative that does not start with an account
Termius is polished and sync-heavy. Klyrn is the other bet: a free Windows SSH client that stays on the machine until you explicitly turn sync on.
| Klyrn | Termius | |
|---|---|---|
| SSH without signup | Yes | Account-centric product |
| Sync | Optional, ciphertext only | Core to the product |
| SFTP | Dual-pane Files | Available in the suite |
| Windows desktop | Native installer | Cross-platform app |
| Price for daily SSH | Free offline | Free tier + paid plans |
If you like Termius’s host list but not the cloud-first habit, Klyrn keeps hosts in a local AES-256-GCM vault. Pair it with the same SSH and SFTP workflow on one PC — then create an account only for a second machine.
Does Klyrn require a cloud login like Termius?
No. SSH, Files, and tunnels work fully offline. An account exists only if you want encrypted host sync between PCs.
Can I sync hosts at all?
Yes, optionally. Sync uploads an opaque ciphertext blob. The server cannot read your host list.
