// What you get
Where the browser is the better choice
Mac, iPad and iPhone
There is no native Termax app for Apple devices yet. Quick Connect fills that gap — on an iPad with a keyboard it is a proper workstation.
A real terminal
xterm.js with colours, mouse selection, correct resizing and working special keys. Not a stripped-down input box.
Gateway in memory only
The connection gateway keeps credentials in RAM exclusively. No database, no logs with credentials, no session recording.
Host key verification
Your server fingerprint is shown and checked — the same man-in-the-middle protection you get in the native app.
No sign-up
No account, no email, no trial. Enter a host, connect, work.

Short version: Quick Connect is for quick access on the move or from a machine that is not yours. As soon as you work with the same servers regularly, the native app is the better tool — it stores your hosts locally encrypted and needs no gateway.

// FAQ
SSH in the browser – common questions
Can you really use SSH in a browser?
Yes. Termax Quick Connect is a full SSH terminal running inside a browser tab — colours, keyboard, mouse selection and proper resizing included. Technically the connection runs over a WebSocket to a gateway that performs the actual SSH handshake with your server. Nothing to install, no account to create.
Does your server see my password or my key?
The gateway keeps everything in memory only and never writes credentials to disk. There is no password database, no logs containing credentials and no session recording. Close the tab and the session is gone. If you would rather not route the connection through someone else's infrastructure at all, use the Windows or Android app — there the SSH traffic goes straight from your device to your server.
Does it work on Mac, iPad or iPhone?
Yes, and that is exactly what it is for. There is no native Termax app for macOS, iPadOS or iOS yet, but any modern browser works — Safari, Chrome, Firefox or Edge. On an iPad with a keyboard attached it is genuinely usable. It is also the fastest route to a shell on a Chromebook or on a machine where you are not allowed to install anything.
What does Quick Connect cost?
Nothing. No subscription, no trial, no sign-up. Enter host, user and credentials, and you are connected.
How is it different from the Windows or Android app?
The browser version is built for fast access: one connection, right now, no install. The apps store your hosts permanently and locally encrypted, and add the SFTP file manager, SSH key generation, snippets and optional end-to-end sync between PC and phone. If you work with the same servers regularly, you want the app.
Can I transfer files through the browser?
The SFTP file manager lives in the native Windows and Android apps. In the browser you get the terminal — for file transfers there, the usual tools like scp or rsync work directly on the server.
