## Description

**Mgwalk Terminal is an SSH terminal for Windows that keeps your servers, tabs and files in one window.** Save every server once, open it in a tab with one click, group the tabs per project, browse and edit the server's files over SFTP next to the shell, and keep a searchable log of every session. It is a desktop app: you install it on your PC, and it connects straight from your PC to your servers.

### Who it's for

- **Developers and admins who live in SSH** and juggle a dozen servers, each with its own folders and routine commands.

- **People who switch between a terminal and a separate file-transfer tool** all day and would rather have both in one place.

- **Anyone running long jobs on remote machines** (builds, imports, deploys, AI coding sessions) who wants to know the moment a background tab finishes.

### Servers and connections

- **Saved servers** with name, host, port, username and password, and auto login.

- **Passwords encrypted by Windows** (Electron safeStorage, which uses the Windows data protection API for your user account). The app's window never receives a saved password: connections are made by the background process.

- **Categories in the sidebar**, with sorting and search, and duplicate detection when you add or paste a server.

- **A colour per connection**, shown on all its tabs, so production never looks like staging.

- **Host key check:** asks before trusting a new server, and shows a red warning if a known server's key changes. Trusted servers can be reviewed and removed in Settings.

- **Auto-reconnect** when the connection drops, with increasing delays and an immediate retry when the network comes back. Press R or Enter to reconnect now. You land back in the directory you were in.

### Tabs, groups and the terminal

- Multiple tabs: rename, close, minimise and restore.

- **Tab groups** with a name and a colour. Show one group and minimise the rest.

- Drag and drop to reorder tabs, move them into or out of a group, or move a whole group.

- Tabs, groups and each tab's directory are remembered between sessions.

- **Background activity alerts:** a spinner while a tab is busy, a green dot plus a Windows notification and a flashing taskbar button when it finishes, and a yellow dot for a terminal bell. Click the notification to open that tab.

- Two clipboard styles: select-to-copy with right-click paste, or the usual Windows Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V. Pick one in Settings.

- **Find in scrollback** (Ctrl+Shift+F) with match count, match case and regular expressions.

- **Ctrl+click links** to open them in Firefox (with a choice of profile), Chrome, your default browser, or copy them. Your last choice comes first.

- Adjustable font size.

### Files panel (SFTP)

- **Ctrl+Shift+E** opens the server's files beside the terminal, over the same connection. Breadcrumbs or a typed path, and it can follow the terminal's current directory.

- Filter, sort and show hidden files. Multi-select and full keyboard control (arrows, Enter, Backspace, Delete, F2, F5, Ctrl+A).

- **Upload** by drag and drop or a file picker, **download** files and whole folders, each transfer with its own progress bar and a cancel button.

- New folder, rename, delete, copy path, and "cd here" to send the terminal to a folder.

- **Edit on the server:** text and code files open in VS Code, and every save uploads the file back automatically. Other files open with their Windows default app. The editor and the file types are set in Settings.

### Directories, scripts, snippets and logs

- **Saved directories per connection:** one click opens a tab already in that folder.

- **Scripts per connection:** change to a directory and run your commands, for example a deploy or a log tail. A script can ask for the directory or command when it runs.

- Copy, edit and share directories, scripts and connections as JSON.

- **Ctrl+Shift+P** opens a searchable list of named commands. Enter pastes the command; Ctrl+Enter pastes and runs it.

- Built-in snippets for everyday shell housekeeping (reload or reset ~/.bashrc, reset the terminal) and Claude Code snippets (install or update, continue a session, start a new one).

- Add, edit and delete your own.

- Each tab can log its session to Documents\Mgwalk Terminal\Logs\\, one file per session, in a folder you can change.

- Turn logging off for everything, or start and stop it per tab.

- **Logs viewer** (Ctrl+Shift+L): logs grouped by connection with date, duration and size; search all logs or one connection (match case, regular expressions); click a result to jump to the line; find in a log with Ctrl+F; copy, open in VS Code, show in folder, or delete. Logs that are still being written update live.

### Your data stays on your PC

Mgwalk Terminal has no account to sign in to, no cloud sync and no usage tracking. Servers, settings, trusted host keys and the log index live in your Windows profile (%APPDATA%\mgwalk-terminal), session logs in your Documents folder. The app talks to the servers you connect to, and to nothing else.

- A full-window Settings screen: General, Terminal, Connections, Files, Session logs, Trusted servers, Directories and Scripts.

- **Backup and restore everything** in one file. Saved passwords are only included when you set a backup password, and are then encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a key derived from that password. The current data is copied aside before a restore.

- Window size and position are remembered.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: Is this a subscription? What happens when the 12 months of updates end?**
A: No. You pay once, and the app keeps running and never switches itself off. After the 12 months of updates you just stop receiving newer versions until you renew updates from My Licences & Downloads.

**Q: Can I return it?**
A: Yes. You can return Mgwalk Terminal for a full refund within 14 days of purchase, for any reason. Ask through the contact page with your order number; the refund goes back to your card, and the licence is revoked and its PCs are deactivated.

**Q: On how many PCs can I use it?**
A: One licence is for one person on up to 3 Windows PCs, for example a desktop, a laptop and a work machine. Deactivate a PC in My Licences & Downloads to free its place, and buy one licence per person.

**Q: Does it need an internet connection?**
A: Only to reach your servers. The licence is checked online now and then; if the check can't reach us, the app keeps working as normal.

**Q: What data does the app send to Magento.zip?**
A: Only the licence check: your licence key, a random device ID created on install, the app version and the Windows version. No server names, hosts, commands, files or logs.

**Q: Where are my passwords stored?**
A: In %APPDATA%\mgwalk-terminal, encrypted by Windows for your user account. They are decrypted only inside the app's background process at the moment it connects, and they are never sent to us.

**Q: What is written to the session logs?**
A: The text the terminal shows, as plain text files in your Documents folder; passwords typed at a password prompt are not shown by the server, so they are not logged. Anything that does appear on screen is, such as a password typed as part of a command or a configuration file you display. Turn logging off in Settings or per tab, or choose a log folder outside a cloud-synced Documents folder.

**Q: Does it support SSH keys?**
A: Not yet: this version logs in with a password or keyboard-interactive login.

**Q: Does it work on macOS or Linux?**
A: No. Mgwalk Terminal is made for Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit).

**Q: Can I move my setup to another PC?**
A: Yes: back up in Settings, restore on the other PC, and deactivate the old PC in My Licences & Downloads if you no longer use it. Saved passwords are included only if you set a backup password.
