What Termius does
Termius is an SSH client that works on desktop and mobile. It syncs and shares data via a secure vault in the cloud, like a password manager. With Termius, engineering and DevOps teams can share the list of servers that can be organized in groups and tagged for faster search. Termius also has built-in Terminal and Snippet Sharing. Terminal Sharing enables getting instant help from colleagues via providing a unique link instantly, and snippets are frequently-used shell commands that allow teammates to learn from each other easily.

Company
Termius
SSH client with team collaboration features
We are building Termius, an SSH client that works on both desktop and mobile. It syncs user data through a secure cloud vault, allowing engineers and DevOps teams to share and organize server lists with tags and groups. We also provide features like Terminal Sharing for instant support via unique links and Snippet Sharing so teammates can share frequently used shell commands.
We do not have a fixed base location now and plan to arrange the company base after YC. The team is distributed currently.
We are distributed now because our early work was remote, but after YC we expect to establish a clear base to work more closely and scale faster.
