What it does

Files, shell, transfers,
without ever leaving the window

Charon started as an SFTP client. It became the place you run a server from, without ever stepping out.

Many servers, a single window

01 / 10
One tab per serverWith its logo, its colour, its connection and its terminal. A tab in the background keeps its transfers going.
Split viewTwo servers side by side, each in its own panel, each with its own terminal.
The server bridgeA file goes from one to the other as a direct stream, without ever touching the disk.
Drag, copy, pasteIn all four directions: disk, server, server to server. And “Send to” another session.

And alsoPermissions without chmod · Keyboard context menu · Copy the path or the scp command · Local and server trees · Signed updates, with their log · Version history in the app

The app

The explorer as it opens,
and everything arranged your way

The disk and the tree on the left, the server in the middle, the preview on the right, and along the bottom the transfers, the journal, the logs and the terminal. Every panel moves, stacks into tabs and resizes, and the layout comes back on the next launch.
