what it is

Not a terminal with a chatbot bolted on. A control plane for devs who never close the window.

ssh into 40 hosts. tail 9 logs at once. write Terraform. restart one box. move a 2 GB dump from prod to your laptop. vev does it all in one window, same keybinds, in the time Electron takes to boot.

ai · ⌘K

Ask in words. Get a command that runs.

Natural language → shell, Terraform, SQL, or a runbook. Bring your own key — Claude, GPT, Groq, Gemini, or local Ollama. Keys never leave your machine.

ᚦ fuzzy-ranked across history, hosts, and files
ᚦ cite-before-run — read the command before it touches anything
ᚦ offline fallback to local models when the network drops

fleet

One pane. Every host. No new windows.

Group, tag, tail, and command across hundreds of hosts. Keys read from your local agent. Load + uptime live, direct from each box — no relay.

ᚱ uses your local ssh-agent — no cloud key copy
ᚱ broadcast commands to a tagged subset, tail answers in one split
ᚱ status pulled from each host directly, never a relay

"Cattle die. Kinsmen die. You die, the same way.
But the work you leave behind never dies."

— Hávamál, stanza 77

airdrop · ⌘D

2 GB dump. peer-to-peer. next breath.

No S3 bucket. No scp dance. X25519 handshake, ChaCha20-Poly1305 streaming, LAN when it can, WAN when it must. Laptop to laptop, nothing in between.

security

Your keys, your keystrokes, your call. vev is a local binary — not a SaaS with your credentials in it.

ᚷ

Keys stay local

SSH keys from your agent. AI keys in your OS keychain or age-encrypted on disk. No server ever sees plaintext.

ᛉ

Plugins in a WASM cage

WASM sandbox with an allow-list for host reads. No plugin reads a secret it wasn't handed.

ᛗ

Audit log on disk

Every command, transfer, and AI call — signed, hash-chained, appendable to your SIEM.

the argument

Termius rents your keys. Warp rents your prompts. vev is yours.

vs Termius

A terminal with a chatbot addon. vev is the control plane that happens to have a terminal.

vs Warp

No account. No connection cap. Your keys never leave your machine.

vs Electron

5 MB binary, not a browser you didn't ask for. Native on macOS, Linux, Windows.

seven answers, before you ask

Questions.

No. It's a terminal, SSH client, AI pair, fleet console, and encrypted P2P transfer in one 5MB binary. The terminal is the entry point — the control plane is the product.
