rust-kotlin/ashell

ashell is a desktop terminal application written in Rust, built on something called GPUI Component for its interface. It works like a modern replacement for a plain terminal window, letting you open local terminal tabs or connect to remote machines over SSH from the same app. For remote work, ashell supports both password based and key based SSH logins, and it lets you save, reopen, edit, and delete your saved connections so you do not have to retype server details every time. It also has a built in SFTP file manager, so you can browse, upload, and download files on a remote server without leaving the terminal window, including support for several file transfers running at once with their own progress display. The terminal display itself is handled by a component called alacritty_terminal, which parses terminal output and aims for accurate color codes, fast rendering, and full keyboard input support. Along the side of the window there is a live system monitor showing CPU, memory, swap, network, and disk usage. You can switch between several visual themes for the interface directly from the top toolbar, and the app ships with a built in font called Maple Mono NF CN that already supports Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text along with Nerd Font icons, so no extra font setup is needed. The newest release, version 0.3, adds global font and size settings that are remembered between sessions, saved layout preferences such as sidebar width and hidden file visibility, and better handling of dropped SSH connections, showing an overlay that lets you reconnect or close the tab with one click. It also improves switching between Chinese and English across the interface, and adds smarter right click copy and paste behavior with shortcut hints suited to your operating system. Prebuilt versions for macOS, Windows, and Linux are available from the project's GitHub Releases page. Since it is written in Rust, you can also build it yourself by running cargo run --release. A packaging script is included for macOS that produces a standard .app bundle without extra entitlements, meaning it runs outside the sandbox. The project is released under the GPL-3.0-or-later license.
