sshx is a Rust-based CLI tool that shares a live terminal over the web via a secure link, rendering sessions on a collaborative infinite canvas with real-time cursors. It uses end-to-end encryption (Argon2 and AES) and connects to a globally distributed mesh of servers for low-latency access.

Use cases

• share a terminal with a teammate for pair debugging
• let a friend run commands on my machine via a browser link
• pause a GitHub Actions workflow and debug it interactively
• teach a terminal session to multiple students watching live
• access remote cloud shells through a browser
• collaboratively troubleshoot a server from anywhere

When to choose

• you need to share live terminal access quickly with a single command
• you want end-to-end encrypted terminal sharing without SSH keys
• you need multi-user real-time collaboration in a terminal
• you want to debug CI jobs interactively
• you need cross-platform terminal sharing including Windows and ARM devices

When to avoid

• you need self-hosted infrastructure, which is not currently supported
• you only need classic one-to-one SSH access
• your security policy forbids piping install scripts from the web
• you need persistent long-lived remote access rather than ad-hoc sessions
