The Hawser manual: every screen, every setting, and what this version does not do yet.

Getting started

What you see the first time, and how to get back to the home screen whatever happens.

Create the encrypted .ivault file that will hold your servers, keys and passwords.

The ways to open a vault, the recent list, locking, and older vault formats.

Create a connection: protocol, address, user, password or SSH key.

Find a server in two seconds: groups, tags, search, the ⌘K palette, imports.

From the Shell button to the remote prompt: host fingerprint, jump host, timeouts, reconnect.

Tabs, split view, copy-paste, broadcast typing and session recording.

The SFTP and FTP file browser: browse, upload, download, drag and drop.

Create, import and attach keys, without leaving them in the clear on disk.

Save reusable commands, run them on connect, and read a server's state.

Reach a remote service from your Mac as if it ran locally.

The security model in plain words: what the vault holds, what stays outside, auto-lock.

Create an account, host an encrypted vault, open it from a second Mac, manage your plan.

The honest list of what this version does not do yet, and what to do when it stalls.
