Spec score 8.1 #11 of 29 in Remote Connection Manager Software

What it is

MremoteGO is a free, open-source remote connection manager for Windows, Linux, and macOS. It supports SSH, RDP, VNC, HTTP/HTTPS, and Telnet connections. Its graphical interface provides a connection tree, folders, search, quick actions, and filters, while a CLI can list, connect to, add, edit, delete, and export connections. Settings use YAML, a format the project describes as suitable for reviewing and managing with git; import from mRemoteNG XML is listed as complete. MremoteGO supports 1Password vault references in the form op://Vault/Item/field, and its README says biometric unlock is supported. Local password encryption uses AES-256-GCM with PBKDF2 key derivation at 100,000 iterations and requires a master password at startup. Plain-text password storage is available for testing, but the README advises against committing those credentials to git. The project is MIT licensed and credits Jayden Thorup as its maker. Its releases page lists version 2.0.5-alpha as a pre-release. The listed product facts specify no mobile apps or session recording.
