This guide walks you through installing Termique, setting up your master password, and connecting to your first SSH host.

  • An SSH server you can connect to (hostname, port, username, and password or key)

​

Launch and set up

Open Termique. On first launch, you’ll see the master password setup screen.Enter a strong master password. This password encrypts your Data Encryption Key (DEK), which in turn encrypts every credential. There is no password recovery — if you lose it, your credentials cannot be decrypted.Store the password in a password manager.

Add your first host

Once unlocked, click Add host in the sidebar.Fill in:
  • Label — a friendly name (e.g. web-prod-01)
  • Host — the hostname or IP address
  • Port — SSH port (default 22)
  • Username — the SSH user
  • Auth type — password or key
  • Credential — the password or private key
Click Save. The credential is encrypted and stored locally.

Connect

Click the host in the sidebar. Termique opens a terminal session connected to your server.You can open multiple sessions in tabs, resize the terminal, and disconnect from the session menu.
