shellivo

The current collector targets Linux and reads status using /proc, df and ps. Collection runs approximately every three seconds by default, subject to network and command latency. Collection stops when the app closes or the connection ends; long-term history and central alerts are not provided.

The desktop app uses SSH passwords and keys; remembered credentials are encrypted locally and are not sent to platform servers. Website sign-in still processes account and session data. Local encryption does not protect an already compromised computer or replace operating-system account security.

Fingerprint checks identify the connection target, but you must verify the initial fingerprint. A changed fingerprint blocks authentication; do not trust a replacement merely to clear an error. The terminal is a real remote session, and commands you enter can modify server data.

Desktop guests can monitor one host at a time and signed-in Free accounts can monitor two. Standard supports five concurrent servers; Expert has no product-level monitoring cap, but local and remote resources still impose limits. Up to 12 terminals can be open at once. Sign in to purchase Standard or Expert.

Yes. shellivo combines a host resource view with its interactive SSH terminal so you can inspect status and then run diagnostic commands. Available metrics depend on the remote system, commands and account permissions.

Yes. Guest mode supports one active host and keeps metrics beside the terminal, without requiring a central monitoring deployment.

Each server needs its address, port, username and a working password or private key. SSH commonly uses port 22, but use your server’s actual setting. Profiles can be saved after a successful connection, with optional credential persistence.

No additional resident agent or dedicated monitoring port is needed. Existing SSH must be reachable from your computer, and the remote host must provide the Linux system information and commands used by the collector.

Metrics include CPU, memory, root filesystem usage, network transfer rates, uptime, basic hardware information and busy processes. This is not a comprehensive view of every disk, container or application-internal metric.

No. SSH connections originate directly from the desktop app, and remembered SSH credentials are encrypted locally. Website account and session data follow a separate flow; keeping SSH credentials local does not mean the entire product works offline.

No. Collection depends on the running desktop app and an active SSH connection. For round-the-clock collection, historical analysis or alerts while your computer is offline, use a monitoring service with those capabilities.

Preview builds are available for Apple Silicon Macs, Intel Macs, Windows x64 and Windows ARM64. Choose the matching version in Downloads. The desktop client manages and monitors Linux servers over SSH.

The desktop app supports guest use with one active server. Website sign-in is available through Google or an email verification code. A signed-in desktop Free account can monitor two servers at once.

Yes. Sign in to purchase Standard or Expert through Stripe, billed monthly or annually. By default, you buy a single term without automatic renewal. Recurring charges apply only when you explicitly enable automatic renewal. Stripe processes payment securely, and account access is delivered after server-side payment verification.
