The first public release of Shellmate: an AI-assisted terminal and SSH connection manager for Windows.

Highlights

  • Live terminals with an assistant you can watch. Local PowerShell/POSIX shells and SSH sessions, with tabs and a two-terminal split. Assistant commands are typed into the same visible shell, and Take over returns control at any time.
  • Explicit permissions. Each workspace connection is Disabled, Ask before commands (the default), or Autonomous, and web access has the same three levels.
  • Per-connection notes that you and the assistant both read and write, so machine context stays visible and editable.
  • Bring your own model. Sign in with a Codex account, or use any OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions or Responses endpoint, or Anthropic.
  • Credentials stay encrypted. API keys, OAuth tokens, and SSH passwords use Windows OS encryption and never enter the database. Unknown or changed SSH host keys need explicit trust.
  • Long-running work. Context is compacted between tool rounds, conversation history is kept per workspace, and commands can be watched, waited on, or interrupted.

Install

  1. Download Shellmate-Setup-1.0.0.exe below (Windows 10/11, x64).
  2. The installer is not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may warn. Choose More info → Run anyway.
  3. Optionally, verify the download against Shellmate-Setup-1.0.0.exe.sha256:
    Get-FileHash .\Shellmate-Setup-1.0.0.exe -Algorithm SHA256

Your data lives in %APPDATA%\Shellmate and is kept when you uninstall.

Support

Shellmate is free to use. If it saves you time, you can buy Dorely a coffee.
