## What is Tempest 3?

Tempest is the SSH and Remote Desktop client built for people who actually manage servers.

Connect via SSH, SFTP, or Mosh. Forward ports. Transfer files. Manage Kubernetes clusters. Collaborate in real-time. All from your phone, tablet, or Mac — with end-to-end encrypted cloud sync across every device.

CORE FEATURES

• SSH & Mosh — Reliable connections, even on flaky networks. Mosh keeps your session alive where SSH drops.
• SFTP File Manager — Browse, edit, and transfer remote files with a native file manager experience.
• Port Forwarding — Set up local and remote SSH tunnels in seconds.
• Storm AI (Pro) — An AI agent that plans, executes, and completes terminal tasks for you. Not a chatbot — a copilot that actually runs commands.
• Real-Time Collaboration — Invite teammates into your live terminal session. Debug together, resolve faster.
• Kubernetes — Sync kubeconfigs, switch clusters, manage pods with AI-assisted workflows.
• Post-Quantum Cryptography — One-tap switch to PQC key exchange. Protect your connections against future quantum threats today.
• Connection Multiplexing — Reuse TCP connections. New sessions open instantly as additional channels.
• Hardware Security Keys — FIDO2 / YubiKey authentication via ed25519-sk and ecdsa-sk.
• 1Password Integration — Pull credentials directly from your vault.

SECURITY FIRST

Zero-knowledge architecture. Your data is end-to-end encrypted before it ever leaves your device. Encryption keys stay on your device — we never see them. Encryption is fully open-sourced for transparency.

SYNC EVERYTHING

Sessions, keys, snippets, and configurations sync across major OS. Pick up exactly where you left off.

PRO UNLOCKS

• Background connection persistence
• Biometric app lock
• Server performance monitoring dashboard
• Full Storm AI access

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.14.0 — 2026-08-12

New Features
HashiCorp Vault support for SSH credentials — store keys and certificates in Vault (KV v2 and SSH certificate signing) and pick Vault as the authentication method right in the host editor (Enterprise).

Bulk edit for SSH hosts — select multiple hosts and change their settings, including group assignment, in a single step.

RDP clipboard sharing — copy text and files between your device and the remote desktop in both directions.

AI context usage meter — the Copilot usage panel now shows how much of the model's context window the current conversation is using.

Improvements
RDP now renders the remote cursor and adapts to window resizing for a smoother session.

Cleaner host list actions: the separate "set group" action has been folded into the new bulk edit flow.

Updated the underlying graphics, SSH, and AI engines for better performance and stability.

Fixes
Fixed saved authentication settings being reset in the host list and editor after connecting to a host that used a plan-restricted credential type.

Fixed keychain access on iOS so saved credentials are stored reliably.

Fixed missing RDP connection status messages while credentials were being resolved from Vault.

### 3.13.3 — 2026-08-08

New Features
- RDP connections now support HTTP/SOCKS5 proxies, matching the existing SSH proxy support.
- Added optional secure (FTPS/HTTPS) endpoints for FTP, S3, and WebDAV transfers (Pro).

Improvements
- Improved RDP performance
- More reliable SSH secondary channel handling to avoid hangs on slow networks.

Fixes
- Fixed a false "failed to render" error.

### 3.13.2 — 2026-08-03

v3.13.2
New Features
Added sudo elevation support to SSH session monitoring: toggle sudo mode and reconnect directly from the session switcher menu
Added more color schemes
Added kill-process and Docker container actions to the Monitor view, plus Docker port information
Added a sudo password field to connection edit forms and a "send sudo password" terminal action
Added SSH agent forwarding support (Tempest Keychain agent)
Improvements
Improved team-scoped vault switching, fixing issues when switching between teams
Membership entitlement checks are now correctly scoped to the currently active team
Added compatibility for servers with the personal vault disabled
Fixed incorrect wording in connection-multiplexing messages
Fixes
Fixed terminal/RDP crashes caused by the system tearing down the rendering surface early, and a related ANR deadlock
Fixed a race condition between the mosh control bar disconnect action and an in-flight reconnect
Fixed a low-level crash that could occur when a terminal view was torn down on some devices

### 3.13.0 — 2026-07-27

New Features
RDP: now with hardware-accelerated video decoding, for a much smoother experience.

Added trusted host-key verification for RDP.

The AI Copilot agent can now run commands over Telnet and Local Shell sessions, not just SSH.

Improvements
SSH connections are more robust: faster reconnects and safer handling of multi-factor (2FA) authentication.

Membership and policy settings moved to the web console. Non-team accounts will not be able to create new shared vaults.

Various performance and stability improvements under the hood.

Fixes
Fixed an intermittent SSH crash on iOS.

Fixed navigation getting stuck after opening Performance Monitor.

Fixed the session menu button on tablets.

Fixed occasional freezes and crashes when switching between workspace sessions.

### 3.12.10 — 2026-07-18

New Features
Connect to hosts using legacy character encodings (GBK, Big5, and more) with a new per-host terminal encoding setting.
