# Aduzi

Windows · SSH client · Windows Native

A native Windows SSH client that draws the terminal grid on the GPU: one instanced draw call per frame, none at all while nothing changes, and a cold start to a live prompt in under 400 ms. Sessions, keys, SFTP and port forwards, with your own known_hosts and OpenSSH agent, and nothing bolted on beside them.

### Block H — The reason to leave the incumbent

- ⏳ There is no way to install this client, so it can only be run from a build directory
- 📋 Every release still ships unsigned, so SmartScreen warns on the first download and managed machines refuse it
- 💭 If SignPath Foundation declines the project, there is no affordable certificate lined up
- 📋 Once a certificate exists, nothing sends the tagged build to SignPath and publishes what comes back

## Recently shipped

- 2026-11-10 · QS392: A UI case's client still outlives its case now and then, failing a run whose every assertion passed
- 2026-11-10 · QS391: KeystrokePathTests' queue-full test sometimes throws ChannelClosedException within 3 ms
- 2026-11-10 · QS390: A UI case that sets no ADUZI_DATA reads the guest's real profile, so whatever was left there changes its verdict
- 2026-11-10 · QS389: A sessions.json saved with a UTF-8 byte-order mark leaves the sidebar empty
- 2026-11-10 · QS387: A reader who looks the name up finds Portuguese dictionaries and a bean, never why the client is called Aduzi
- 2026-11-10 · QS386: There is nothing to download: no release or tag, only a CI artefact that expires in five days
- 2026-11-10 · QS384: A search for the name finds the Linux Quickshell and winget's Quick Shell, not this client
- 2026-11-10 · QS377: The release archive is built only on this desk, so no signing service can prove it came from the source
