No accounts, no cloud, no telemetry — your connection details stay in a local database and every secret is stored in the system keyring (libsecret), never in plain text. Connect to anything * Password, private-key (file or paste, with passphrase), and interactive one-time-token / 2FA sign-in * Jump-host chaining and local, remote, and dynamic (SOCKS) port forwarding * Per-host agent forwarding * Trust-on-first-use host-key verification with clear warnings when a key changes, plus a known-hosts manager Stay organized * Nested host folders you can rearrange freely * Shared folder defaults (username, jump host, credential) that hosts inherit unless they set their own * Import from your existing ~/.ssh/config * Quick Connect to user@host:port, Recent hosts, and host search Work faster * Tabs plus nested, resizable split panes * Broadcast input to every pane in a split at once * In-terminal search, copy-on-select, and Ctrl-click to open links * Built-in SFTP browser: upload, download, rename, delete, mkdir, permissions and chmod, with transfer progress * Reusable command snippets Manage software without the command line * A graphical package manager for apt, Homebrew, and pip — on your own machine or any host you reach over SSH * Discover software with registry search and a curated catalog of popular packages, with rich details (description, developer, homepage, version) * Install or remove with a click; see what's installed and what has an update * Bring every outdated package up to date in a single action * A built-in health check flags common problems, and privileged actions run cleanly without dropping to a root shell Local shells too * Open Bash, Zsh, Fish, and other installed shells alongside your SSH sessions Made to feel good * Light, dark, and system themes with accent colors and terminal color schemes * Adjustable font size, family, and scrollback * Session and layout restore on restart * Auto-reconnect with backoff and a dead-connection watchdog * A configurable global hotkey to show or hide the window After installing, connect these interfaces so saved passwords and your existing keys work: * `sudo snap connect simple-terminal:password-manager-service` * `sudo snap connect simple-terminal:ssh-keys` ### Package name * simple-terminal --- ### License * unset --- ### Last updated * 17 July 2026 - latest/stable --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/simple-terminal/opensuse#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install Simple Terminal Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed. You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor. Tumbleweed: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy ``` Leap 15.x: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy ``` If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE. With the repository added, import its GPG key: ``` sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh ``` Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository: ``` sudo zypper dup --from snappy ``` Snap can now be installed with the following: ``` sudo zypper install snapd ``` You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH. Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor ``` ### Install Simple Terminal To install Simple Terminal, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install simple-terminal ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
