electerm is a free, open-source, all-in-one terminal, SSH, SFTP/FTP/Telnet/serial port, and remote desktop (RDP/VNC/Spice) client built with Electron. It runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, HarmonyOS, and iOS, and includes an AI assistant, MCP integration, themes, and a multi-tab terminal with split panes.

Use cases

• manage ssh sessions with sftp file transfer in one app
• edit remote files over sftp with drag and drop
• connect to serial port or telnet devices
• access remote desktops via rdp or vnc
• generate and explain terminal commands with an ai assistant
• run a guake-style drop-down terminal with a global hotkey
• use ssh tunneling and port forwarding with proxy support

When to choose

• you want one cross-platform app combining terminal, ssh, sftp, and remote desktop
• you need to support unusual platforms like HarmonyOS, iOS, or Chinese Linux distributions
• you want AI-assisted command generation and MCP integration in your terminal
• you manage many servers and want bookmarks, split panes, and batch input

When to avoid

• you need only a lightweight pure CLI ssh client without a GUI
• you require deep OS-native terminal integration rather than an Electron app
• you need a headless/server-side automation tool rather than an interactive client
