MremoteGO
What it is
MremoteGO is a free, cross-platform remote connection manager for Windows, Linux, and macOS. It brings SSH, RDP, VNC, HTTP/HTTPS, and Telnet connections into a desktop interface with a connection tree, search, quick actions, nested folders, and filtering. A CLI is also available to list, connect to, add, edit, delete, and export connections. Connection settings use YAML, a format the project describes as easy to diff, merge, and review with git; importing mRemoteNG XML is listed as completed on the roadmap. For credentials, MremoteGO supports 1Password vault references in op://Vault/Item/field form, and its README says biometric unlock is supported. Local password encryption uses AES-256-GCM with PBKDF2 at 100,000 iterations and requires a master password at startup. Plain-text passwords are available for testing, but the README advises against committing them to git. The MIT-licensed project credits Jayden Thorup as its maker. Its releases page lists version 2.0.5-alpha as a pre-release.
