## What it is
Muon (formerly Snowflake) is a graphical SSH client with an enhanced SFTP file browser, terminal emulator, remote process/resource manager, disk space analyzer, remote text editor, and log viewer. It works entirely over SSH from the local machine, requiring no server-side installation, and runs on Linux and Windows.

## Use cases
- browse and transfer files on a remote server over sftp with a gui
- manage remote linux servers without memorizing terminal commands
- analyze disk space usage on a remote server
- view and search large log files on remote servers
- edit text files on a remote server graphically
- monitor remote server processes and resources
- deploy and debug code on remote servers as a web backend developer

## When to choose
- you prefer a graphical interface over raw ssh commands for server administration
- you deploy or debug code on remote linux servers and want bundled utilities
- you need sftp browsing, log viewing, and disk analysis in one tool without installing anything on the server

## When to avoid
- you need a lightweight terminal-only ssh client
- you require native macOS support (not yet released)
- you need an actively developed tool with frequent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ssh, gui, file-system, logging, monitoring, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, self-hosted
