Terminal in Telegram with multi-user access
Your servers and workstations,
always at hand.
Type a command — it runs on the server.
The reply carries the exit code, the directory, the git branch and how
long it took. The shell remembers where you left off.

Three steps to start
-
Open the bot
No account, no signup. The chat is the interface.
-
Run one command on your server
The bot hands you a one-liner. It creates a separate user and trusts our certificates — nothing else is touched.
-
Confirm it in the chat
The server shows up, and you can start typing commands at it.
Secure access to your servers
A one-time certificate
Every connection gets a fresh certificate that expires in 15 minutes. Your SSH keys never leave your machine, because we never ask for them.
Your SSH config is not touched
Trust is added to one user's authorized_keys. We never
edit sshd_config and never restart the daemon.
Quick removal
One command removes the user and the sudo rule. Nothing is left behind.
The source is fully open
The bot and the agent are open source. So is the install script — read it before you run it, it is short.
Share access with one command
Give access to any Telegram user with one command. They work in their own chat, and every command they run shows up in your log with their name on it.
/share #12 @john 4h give access for four hours /revoke #12 @john take it back, cutting the live session
Updates
-
tterm.net is live, along with the channel where changes get announced. The bot and the agent are open source.
-
The bot moved to its own server and no longer depends on a laptop being open. Source for the bot and the agent is public.
-
Machine list, menus and confirmations moved to buttons inside messages. A machine that cannot be reached is greyed out instead of leading to an error.
-
Shared access with time limits. Expired access closes itself and both sides are told. Owners can export the full command history as a file.
-
Computers can be connected too, through a small agent that dials out. macOS and Linux for now.
