+## Features
+
+Termind brings terminals, remote files, server metrics, and a controllable AI
+assistant together in one app.
+
+- **Remote connections.** Connect with SSH, Mosh, Eternal Terminal, and Telnet,
+  plus serial connections on Mac.
+- **Workspaces and persistent sessions.** Organize terminals and SFTP sessions in
+  multi-pane workspaces on Mac. Integrate with Herdr, tmux, Zellij, or zmx to
+  return to remote sessions after disconnecting.
+- **Visual SFTP.** Browse, preview, and manage remote files across multiple
+  connections, or upload files by dragging them into the terminal.
+- **Host management.** Organize saved hosts, identities, known hosts, and
+  connection settings in one place.
+- **AI, commands, and snippets.** Use your own provider and API key with an
+  Assistant whose actions you control. Generate commands without automatically
+  running them, and save reusable snippets.
+- **MCP integrations.** Connect external MCP tools to the Assistant. The built-in
+  local MCP service on Mac also exposes SSH and SFTP tools to other AI clients,
+  with per-tool controls and an audit trail.
+- **Agentless Linux monitoring.** Monitor servers over SSH without installing a
+  monitoring agent. Track CPU, memory, disk, network, GPU, filesystem, and process
+  metrics.
+- **Network tools.** Set up SSH port forwarding, with multi-connection support on
+  Mac. Connect through built-in Tailscale and wake devices on your local network
+  with Wake-on-LAN.
+- **Storage and sync.** Store app data locally with optional iCloud sync across
+  devices, and protect credentials with Apple Keychain.
+
+The apps support **macOS 15+, iOS 18+, and iPadOS 18+**. Mosh and Eternal Terminal
+require their corresponding server software. Mosh also requires reachable UDP
+ports and is not available for hosts managed by built-in Tailscale.
