Independent software studio
We build BURSU Connection Manager — one window for the SSH, WinRM, RDP, VNC, AppleRD, Telnet, serial, SFTP and FTP sessions you keep open all day. The same connections, the same credentials and the same vault, on every machine you sit down at.

What we ship
An application you install, a service it can optionally sync through, and the remote desktop that opens inside it.
Flagship application
SSH, WinRM, RDP, VNC, AppleRD, SFTP, FTP, FTPS, Telnet, serial and web sessions in one window, with every credential held in an encrypted vault.
Hosted sync
A private database that keeps your connections in step across machines and colleagues — without ever holding a key that opens them.
Our own remote desktop
The remote-desktop engine inside BURSUcm is ours. We wrote it, which is why a problem with it is something we can fix rather than report.
How we work
ZERO-KNOWLEDGE
A master password is used on your device and never sent anywhere. What we hold is sealed with AES-256, and the seal is made and broken only where you are. We cannot read your connections, we cannot reset your master password, and we cannot hand either to anybody who asks us for them — which is the point, and also the reason to write the password down somewhere safe.
BUILT, NOT BORROWED
The remote desktop inside the application is our own work rather than something licensed and wrapped. That costs us time we would rather have spent elsewhere, and it buys the only thing that matters when a session breaks on your machine on a Tuesday: we can go and fix it, in days, instead of filing a report with somebody who has other priorities.
SIGNED, EVERY PLATFORM
Every download is signed by us and verified by the system it lands on — notarised for macOS, published through repositories we sign ourselves for Linux, and through the store’s own signing on Android. The checksum of each file is published beside it, so you can confirm that what you downloaded is what we built.
FOUR LANGUAGES, NO EXCEPTIONS
The application speaks English, Russian, Ukrainian and Georgian. A new piece of user-facing text lands in all four in the same change, because the alternative — a backlog of untranslated strings, shown to whoever happens to be reading — is how a product quietly becomes English-only. We hold this page to the same standard by keeping it in one language rather than four bad ones.
The application is free and the download page asks for nothing. If you need something it does not do yet, or you found something it does wrong, write to us — the same people who wrote the code read that inbox.
