About Rusty

Tabbed, split-pane SSH client for Windows with organization-first features—renamable, color-coded, drag-and-drop tabs, SFTP browser, and flexible layouts. Built in Rust.

What's new in 0.1.8

What's New
- Added Settings > Fonts with system monospace selection, live preview, font-size updates, and an option to apply the selected terminal font to the UI.
- Terminal typing now jumps a scrolled terminal back to the bottom before sending local keyboard input.
- Added Settings > Appearance > Hide active terminal border to disable the active terminal focus border/glow.
Reliability And Config Safety
- Expanded serde defaults so older config shapes continue loading when new fields are introduced.
- Added recovery from the newest readable config.corrupt-*.json backup when the main config cannot be read.
- Switched Windows config writes to a safer atomic replace flow instead of deleting the live config first.
