zero-knowledge SSH client for Windows - Marix

Saw a developer posted this in of the community forums.
Anyone dare to try?

What makes Marix different:
πŸ”’ Zero-knowledge by design – your passwords and keys never leave your device
πŸ’» 100% offline – no cloud, no servers, no telemetry
πŸ”‘ Built-in SSH key manager, SFTP, FTP, and RDP support
πŸ’Ύ Encrypted local & GitHub backups (client-side only, encrypted before upload)
🧠 Strong crypto: Argon2id + AES-256-GCM
This is not a cloud product and there’s no account system.
If you lose your backup password, your data is unrecoverable β€” by design.
Marix is open-source (GPL-3.0) and currently available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
I’m mainly looking for early feedback from developers and security-conscious users:
UX / workflow
security assumptions
missing features

    A utility with only purpose of reading text input and displaying text output is built upon:

    So its distrib size is:

    IMO what makes it really different is using the sentences above to promote an SSH client :)

  • I'll take a ssh bastion any day over sharing my ssh key using what probably is a vibe coded terminal application that could have been written in C but was written with "latest and slowest and largest" modern tech.

    If you want information, feign ignorance reply with the wrong answer. Internet people will correct you ASAP!
    It’s OK if you disagree with me. I can’t force you to be right!

    If the password never leaves my device, it will never be possible to complete the login.

    Therefore, I shall not believe the rest of what is said.

    Maybe they generate and use their own ssh key to login? So YOUR master password never leaves your device, but their ssh public key does. My question is, what happens IF the ssh key gets leaked by their app?

    You have to admit, that would get you to sign up for Copilot!

    This reminds me of years and years ago someone who used Excel to browse the web because Internet explorer was locked down on their corporate machine.

    It's something I've always said I will never do...but yes, that would do it.
