What is Reach?

Reach is a desktop launcher that puts all your remote connections and local apps in one clean interface. No more juggling RDP files, PuTTY shortcuts, and app launchers separately — organize everything into custom tabs, assign saved credentials, and launch with a double-click.

Built with Tauri 2 + React 19 + TypeScript. Windows only — uses native Windows Credential Manager and RDP under the hood.

Features

Launch Anything RDP connections with auto-login SSH sessions via PuTTY Local apps and scripts .rdp launchers with auto-login support Optional RD Gateway routing for multi-hop RDP targets	Stay Organized Custom tabs to group resources your way Grid & list views with 3 density modes Quick search across everything (Ctrl+K) Per-resource icons & colors
Credential Management Per-connection credentials — assign a saved credential to any card Windows Credential Manager — passwords never stored in the app database One-click password rotation — update without reassigning Auto-login — TERMSRV injection for RDP, -pw flag for SSH	Look & Feel 3 themes — Editorial Light, Dark Gold, Riddim Synth Accent color system — each theme has a distinct accent personality Keyboard shortcuts — Ctrl+0-4 for tabs, Ctrl+, for settings Export / Import — back up connections, SSH entries, tabs, assignments, and settings as JSON

Quick Start

Grab the latest .msi or .exe from Releases, install, and launch.

Development

Prerequisites: Node.js 18+, Rust, Tauri v2 prerequisites

Tech Stack

	Technology

  tabs.rs              Custom tab management
  backup.rs            JSON export / import

Testing

Backend regression coverage currently focuses on the highest-risk launch and data flows:

• cargo test covers backup/import round-trips, restore mode behavior, RD Gateway resolution, and Windows argument parsing
• npm run build verifies the frontend bundle and shared TypeScript types

Security

Passwords are never stored in the app database. Reach uses Windows Credential Manager for all credential storage. See SECURITY.md for the full architecture.
