Overview
Description

GlassWire is a network monitoring and personal firewall application for Windows and Android that visualizes current and past network activity to help users spot malware, bandwidth hogs, and unfamiliar devices on their network. Its firewall includes an ask-to-connect mode that lets users approve or deny individual apps' network access, alongside a network time machine for reviewing historical connections. GlassWire also tracks data usage across devices and can alert users before they exceed set data limits, while its network scanner flags new or unknown devices joining a WiFi network. Over 53 million downloads have been recorded for the Windows and Android apps combined.

Termius is a cross-platform SSH and terminal client built for engineers who manage remote servers from multiple devices. It supports SSH, SFTP with a built-in file manager, Telnet, and Mosh for session persistence across dropped connections, and centralizes hosts, SSH keys, and passwords in an encrypted Vault that syncs across desktop and mobile so an entire workspace of open tabs, groups, and snippets is available anywhere. Beyond individual use, Termius adds shared team vaults with real-time collaboration and granular access control so infrastructure credentials never need to be emailed or copy-pasted between teammates. It also includes IDE-style command autocomplete, host grouping, port forwarding, known-hosts tracking, and serial connection support, and says it is trusted by more than 2,000,000 engineers.
