Introduction

Welcome to the SlickSSH documentation.

SlickSSH is a minimal, local SSH client built for developers. Learn how to manage your VPS environments locally with advanced credential management and secure architecture.

Note

SlickSSH requires Windows 10/11. Ensure your system meets the requirements before installing.

Architecture & Security

SlickSSH is designed with a strict zero-telemetry policy. Your data never leaves your machine.

Local SQLite Database: All credentials, connection profiles, and metadata are stored in an encrypted local SQLite file located in your AppData directory.
Electron & Web Stack: The UI is powered by a high-performance web stack packaged inside Electron, communicating directly with the native Node.js ssh2 module for minimal latency.
No Middleman: SSH handshakes occur directly between your host and the remote server.
