Stealth Terminal & SSH
Stealth Terminal & SSH is the built-in multi-tab terminal for Windows. It runs PowerShell, CMD, and SSH sessions side by side, with saved connection profiles and an optional AI Assist bar that turns plain English into shell commands.
Opening Stealth Terminal
Open from Settings → Tools → Stealth Terminal & SSH. The window opens with a fresh tab using your default profile, the saved-connection sidebar, and the AI Assist bar across the bottom.
Shells and Sessions
PowerShell. Default Windows shell. Picks up PowerShell 7 if installed, otherwise falls back to Windows PowerShell 5.
CMD. Classic Command Prompt for legacy scripts and batch files.
SSH. Launch a saved SSH connection in any tab. Passwords and key paths are stored encrypted in your local credential store.
Multiple tabs. Each tab keeps its own working directory, scrollback, and command history. Reorder with drag and drop.
SSH Connection Profiles
Save reusable SSH connection profiles with hostname, port, username, password or private key path, and a friendly name. Profiles are stored encrypted on disk and never leave your device.
- Password and key authentication
- OpenSSH-compatible key format support
- Per-connection terminal profile (font, color theme, scrollback)
- Quick reconnect after a dropped session
- Copy the equivalent
sshcommand for use in scripts
AI Assist
The AI Assist bar lets you describe what you want to do in plain English. Stealth turns the request into a shell command, shows you the proposed line, and waits for confirmation before running it.
Confirmation chip. The proposed command appears as an inline chip. Run it, edit it, or cancel.
Auto-run. Optional toggle that skips confirmation for trusted commands.
Provider. Uses your Stealth AI subscription tokens by default. You can switch to your own OpenAI API key or a local LLM in the AI Provider tab of Terminal Settings.
Token usage. Shown in the title bar so you always know your remaining AI quota.

Why Use Stealth Terminal
One window for everything. PowerShell, CMD, and SSH sessions in the same tabbed window.
Encrypted credentials. SSH passwords and key paths live alongside the rest of your Stealth Vault data.
Optional AI help. AI Assist is opt-in. Turn it off and you have a normal multi-tab terminal.
