What MremoteGO is
MremoteGO is a free, open-source remote connection manager for Windows, Linux, and macOS. It handles SSH, RDP, VNC, HTTP/HTTPS, and Telnet connections. The GUI provides a connection tree, folders, search, quick actions, and filters; a CLI can list, connect to, add, edit, delete, and export connections. Settings use YAML, which the project describes as easy to diff, merge, and review with git. MremoteGO can import mRemoteNG XML and supports 1Password vault references in the form op://Vault/Item/field; the 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. The releases page lists version 2.0.5-alpha as a pre-release.
