ShellMate
Secure desktop workspace for centralized SSH and AWS SSM management, with a zero-knowledge credential vault and AI diagnostics.
About ShellMate
ShellMate is an AI-powered SSH desktop workspace for developers and DevOps teams, supporting Windows, macOS, and Linux. It combines host access, team permissions, AI diagnostics, service management, file editing, and security auditing in one workspace, enabling centralized management of SSH, bastion hosts, SFTP tunnels, and AWS SSM infrastructure without opening port 22. It provides SHA-256 single-use temporary connection authorization that expires in 30 seconds and is bound to a registered device key, together with a zero-knowledge credential vault, WORM audit logs, and an autonomous AI SRE guardian. Team plans support shared hosts, shared credentials, and RBAC.
