Rustty: Local-first multi-protocol remote access for administrators

Manage SSH shells, SFTP transfers, and RDP desktops in a single tabbed interface that supports split panes and drag-and-drop SFTP. Alejandro Soriano builds this Windows utility for administrators and developers who need direct control over remote infrastructure. The app bundles credential storage with system keyring and KeePass integration, an in-app resource monitor, and advanced tunneling options. It fits network technicians and DevOps engineers who require a privacy-focused, high-performance remote client.

Recommended for experienced administrators who value privacy and performance

The tool suits system administrators and DevOps engineers who want local control over credentials and three-protocol access in one client. Expect a learning curve for advanced tunneling and key management, and plan profile sync deliberately. Tip: perform initial connections during maintenance windows to confirm tunnel and desktop settings before placing them into regular use. Recommended.
