The record

Purpose: Remote Commander combines SSH, SFTP, RDP, VNC, VPN control, a web console, and a remote file editor in one tabbed desktop app.
Audience: The project describes the app as a unified remote-access manager for engineers and homelabbers.
SSH and SFTP: SSH includes jump-host support and automatic reconnect, while SFTP provides a dual-pane file manager with drag-and-drop transfers.
Remote desktops: RDP can run in an app tab through guacd or fall back to an external FreeRDP window; VNC runs in the app through noVNC.
Web console: The embedded web console supports per-profile isolated sessions, proxies, bookmarks, and a document viewer for PDF, JSON, and Markdown.
VPN integrations: The app manages OpenVPN and WireGuard profiles and can connect a profile's VPN before opening a session.
Workspace features: Users can organize connections into profiles and groups, split panes, save workspaces, and export connection history as CSV.
Credential security: Credentials are stored encrypted using the OS keychain or an encrypted-file fallback, and profile exports use password-protected AES-256-GCM encryption.
Security limitation: The project warns that on systems without an OS keychain, such as WSL2, the fallback may be base64-encoded rather than strongly encrypted.
Runtime requirements: RDP and VPN features require system tools, and the local terminal needs an optional native module.
File editor limit: The remote file editor is limited to text files up to 5 MB.
Project status: The repository identifies the app as active development at v0.1.0 and lists auto-update as not yet wired and cloud profile sync as descoped.
License: The app is released under the MIT License, which the project says permits use, modification, and redistribution, including commercially.
