Noden

Noden is a native macOS application that combines SSH, SFTP, RDP, and serial console access into a single window. It provides a terminal, a dual-pane file manager, and a remote desktop client side by side, allowing users to manage multiple servers without switching apps. Credentials are stored in a Keychain-backed vault with Touch ID authentication, avoiding plain-text password files. The SSH terminal includes tabs and a resizable grid, per-tab latency monitoring, command history and autocomplete, broadcast input, and support for tunnels and jump hosts. The SFTP file manager offers a native table with drag-and-drop, Quick Look, and the ability to edit remote files using a local editor. RDP support includes clipboard and file copy-paste, RD Gateway, admin sessions, and full-screen display, plus a serial console for out-of-band management. An integrated AI assistant provides contextual shell commands for Linux or Windows sessions, and can use built-in or bring-your-own API keys from OpenAI, Azure, OpenRouter, or local models. The vault securely manages passwords, SSH keys, API tokens, and notes, with Touch ID grace periods, typed entry to avoid clipboard history, and encrypted export/import. Noden is free to use, runs on macOS 13+ for Apple Silicon and Intel, and is available via the Mac App Store or Homebrew.
