DEVELOPMENT NOTES / 0.3.0Follow the progress 01Can I download Netrix for Windows?
The first public Windows installer is being prepared; no download is available yet. All features are free; donations are optional.
02Where does my workspace live?
On your computer. Hosts, snippets, and maps live in a local SQLCipher-encrypted database. Preferences, SSH known-host records, diagnostic logs, and exports have separate storage rules.
03Do I need a cloud account?
No. Your master password protects a local workspace; it is not a cloud sign-in. There is no online password reset, so keep encrypted backups and their archive passwords safe.
04How are saved credentials protected?
Saved passwords, private keys, and passphrases have a separate vault layer using Argon2id and AES-256-GCM. Vault lock blocks new use of those credentials; existing sessions and transfers can continue.
05Which parts of Netrix use Rust?
The backend and Tauri desktop shell are written in Rust. They handle connections, local storage, vault operations, and native permissions. The interface uses React and TypeScript; the database stack includes SQLite and SQLCipher.
06Is it free for personal and professional use?
Yes. Netrix is MIT-licensed, with no subscription or paid feature tiers. Commercial use is permitted. Use connections and network tools with permission from the systems’ owners.
07Which operating systems are supported?
Windows is the first platform. The first public Windows installer is being prepared; no download is available yet. macOS and Linux packaging are planned for later.
08Does SFTP interrupt my terminal session?
No. File operations use a separate SSH connection. SFTP is available for SSH hosts that provide an SFTP subsystem; Telnet and Serial connections remain terminal workflows.
