Edit files on a remote server

Open a folder on a saved server and edit it in place, over SSH, with its terminals, tasks and Git beside the editor. Nothing is copied to this computer first. Folders on this computer are Free. Folders on a server are Pro.

Projects on servers follow you through sync.

Some places are protected. A project opened at the home folder cannot reach your keys, credentials or Vaulterm's own profile, and search, quick open, watching, Git and agent reviews go through the same checks.

Claude in Vaulterm Code Beta

In the Beta channel, a Claude panel runs on your SSH server with your own Anthropic API key (Pro). It asks before it acts, and stops vault secrets before they are sent.How Claude in Vaulterm Code works.

what runs whereOn the host

What runs where

Vaulterm Code puts no server of its own on the host. Language servers, debug adapters and Claude Code run on the host; if one is missing, Vaulterm offers to install it, and asks first.

Language servers stay off until you trust the folder. Terminals and tasks run in the project, on the same machine as the code.

source control·GitFree and Pro

Git on your servers

Source Control works on a folder on this computer (Free) and on a folder on a server (Pro). In Stable you get changes, staging by file or by line, commits, branches, stashes, pull and push, and a diff. Before each commit made in Source Control, Vaulterm checks the added lines for known key formats and your vault's own secrets. Pro adds history, blame, comparing branches and a merge editor.

Reworked in the 0.2 beta

  • One sync button that publishes, pulls or pushes, as the branch needs.
  • A commit split button: commit, then push or sync.
  • Changes as a list or a tree, with each group folding away.
  • A History tab for the current branch, all branches or one, with cherry-pick and revert in a commit's menu.
  • A Branches tab and a branch popover.
  • A banner when a merge, cherry-pick or revert stops on a conflict, with Abort.

These are in the Beta channel. History, blame, compare and the merge editor stay Pro. How to use them: the Beta channel.

VS Code keys and a Vim keymapFree

The commands and shortcuts you know, with Cmd on a Mac, or switch to Vim keys.

Quick open and the paletteFree

Jump to a file by name, or run any command from the palette.

Markdown with MermaidFree

A live Markdown preview that draws Mermaid diagrams, and an image viewer.

Terminals in the projectFree

Panel terminals start in the project folder, on the same machine as the code.

Tasks with problem matchersFree

Found from package.json scripts, a Makefile, Cargo.toml, go.mod, pyproject.toml, a justfile, Compose or tasks.json. Matchers feed Problems.

Git, with a secret checkFree

Changes, line staging, commits, branches, stashes, pull and push. Before each commit made in Source Control, Vaulterm checks the added lines for known key formats and your vault's own secrets.

Search across filesPro

Search and replace across the whole project, on this computer or on a server.

Split editors and several foldersPro

Split editors, split terminals in the panel, and several folders in one project.

Language serversPro

Completions, definitions and errors as you type, from 17 known language servers. They run on the machine that holds the code, and only in folders you trust.

DebuggingPro

Debug on the machine with the code: JavaScript and TypeScript, Python, Go, C, C++ and Rust (with lldb or gdb), PHP and .NET. cppdbg and Java configurations do not run yet.

EnvironmentsPro

Keep a project's .env in the vault. Terminals, tasks and debug sessions get the values with no .env on disk.

Agents, reviewedPro

Start Claude Code, Codex or Gemini CLI in a panel terminal, then review Changes by agent, or run agents in parallel and compare.

FleetsPro

Edit one file on up to 50 saved hosts, then write it host by host, with a check and a way to put it back.

Save with sudoPro

Open and save files that your login cannot read or write. The sudo password goes over stdin only.

Preview tabPro

Open a running dev server's page in a tab, from this computer or through a tunnel from a saved server.
