Riftgate
Features

Built for people who live in remote sessions

RDP, SSH, VNC, web consoles and file transfer in tabs, organised in folders, unlocked once.

Embedded RDP everywhere

Native Microsoft RDP on Windows, IronRDP on macOS and Linux: sessions open in tabs, with certificate pinning on first connect.

SSH & Telnet terminals

xterm-grade terminal, port forwarding (local, remote, SOCKS), agent forwarding, host key trust on first use.

VNC built in

RFB 3.3–3.8 client with scaling, view-only mode, Ctrl+Alt+Del and optional clipboard sync.

SFTP & FTPS

Dual-pane file transfer with a queue, folder recursion, resume-safe downloads and certificate pinning.

Web entries

Open admin consoles in an embedded browser with origin-locked autofill of the saved login.

Connection chains

Hop through an SSH jump host or a VPN (OpenVPN, WireGuard) before connecting, automatically.

Zero-knowledge vault

Argon2id + AES-256-GCM. Entries are encrypted on your device; the server only ever stores ciphertext.

Sync across devices

Desktop apps and the web vault stay in sync, with conflict handling and per-entry history.

Quick unlock

Windows Hello, the macOS Keychain or the Linux Secret Service keep you signed in without weakening the vault.

Bring your connections

Import from mRemoteNG, PuTTY, RDP files and more, then organise with folders, tags and favourites.

Audit & history

Every connect, change and secret view is logged (encrypted) and every entry keeps its previous versions.

Macros & hooks

Type text into sessions, run scripts before connecting or after disconnecting, with variables.
