Where Does Termius Store Hosts and Keys?
Termius keeps hosts and keys in an encrypted cloud vault, with a local app cache per OS for offline use.
Last updated
Termius centers on its encrypted vault, not local files. Hosts, keys, snippets, and port forwards sync through your Termius account across desktop and mobile. Local apps keep an encrypted cache for offline sessions, which refreshes on next sync.
That design changes backup thinking. Export hosts and keys from inside the app for portable copies; raw cache files are not a restore format. Teams share through vault organization features rather than passing config files around. Biometric app lock guards the local cache on mobile devices.
Where Termius stores this, by platform
Termius cloud vault (local encrypted cache in app data)
Exact cache paths may vary by version and store build. Prefer in app export for backups. Keep SSH keys separately in ~/.ssh style storage too.
Termius cloud vault (local encrypted cache in app data)
Same vault model as Windows and mobile. Signing out can clear the local cache, so export before switching accounts.
Termius cloud vault (local encrypted cache in app data)
Desktop and CLI share the account vault. Cache locations follow OS conventions and shift between releases.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Termius hosts?
Export from inside the app to a portable file and store it encrypted. Cache folder copies look tempting but restore unreliably across versions.
Where are Termius SSH keys stored?
In the vault with hosts, cached locally per device. Keep independent key backups in your normal key files so a vault lockout never strands servers.
