Features
Read full description

NConvo is a local-first network operations toolbox that puts an SSH terminal, an RDP remote desktop, network diagnostics, LAN tools and an iperf3-client speed test into one app. Features - SSH Terminal: password, SSH key and keyboard-interactive auth; import connections from OpenSSH config, MobaXterm and Xshell; type the password right in the editor and save it as a credential; Save & Connect jumps straight into the session. - RDP Remote Desktop: native FreeRDP engine with an immersive landscape view and certificate verification on first connect. - Floating trackpad: inside a remote desktop session, drag it anywhere, pinch to resize, snap it to an edge; it carries left and right buttons and an on-screen arrow cursor. - Network diagnostics: Ping, TCP Ping, Traceroute, DNS, Whois, IP lookup, HTTP check, SSL/TLS and unlock checks. - LAN tools: LAN scan, port scan, device IP, mDNS, Wake on LAN, MAC lookup (OUI vendor) and subnet calculator. - Performance: iperf3-compatible bandwidth testing in both upload and download directions. - LAN transfer: send files and text peer to peer, no server involved. Local-first: connections and credentials stay on your device, sealed by the system keychain, and private keys are never exported. No ads, no analytics. WebDAV backups go to the server you choose, encrypted.
