Architecture
Operational Flow
01
Physical Connection
Connect servers or devices via SSH, USB, or Serial (UART / console ports).
→
02
Local Agent
CliDeck Agent runs on macOS, Windows, or Linux and talks directly to your hardware.
→
03
Secure Tunnel
All traffic is encrypted and routed through a secure tunnel, depending on your deployment model.
→
04
Browser Interface
Your SSH and Serial terminals run in the browser with native performance.
→
05
Context Layer
Notes, runbooks, and session history stay attached to the device and workflow.
Target Audience
Engineered for Professionals
Built for those who manage the physical layer of the internet — from data centers and network closets to labs, workbenches, and edge devices.
Network Engineers
Rapid serial console and SSH access to Cisco, Juniper, and MikroTik devices. Configure routing, switching, and VLANs without switching between outdated tools.
System Admins
Unified workspace for SSH sessions, SFTP, port forwarding, and bare-metal recovery via serial console. Manage Linux and BSD servers efficiently from one modern terminal.
Raspberry Pi Users
Remote SSH and serial console access for Raspberry Pi — ideal for labs, home servers, and field deployments. Keep terminal sessions, notes, and commands organized in one place.
DevOps & SRE
Execute runbooks across multiple targets and environments. Reduce incident response time with session logging, notes, and command context tied directly to terminals.
IoT & Embedded Engineers
Debug embedded devices — Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi — directly from the browser. Monitor UART / USB serial output in real time without local tooling pain.
Typical Workflows
Connect to a Raspberry Pi via SSH and keep notes next to the session
Open multiple serial consoles while configuring network devices
Run operational runbooks during incident response
Document commands and fixes directly in the terminal context
Core Advantage
Integrated Runbooks
Stop context switching between documentation and your terminal.
✓
CliDeck keeps runbooks, procedures, and checklists directly next to live SSH and Serial sessions.
✓
Execute commands, follow operational steps, and document changes without leaving your terminal.
✓
Everything stays attached to the device, session, and workflow.
Hardware Compatibility
FTDI (FT232)
Silicon Labs (CP210x)
Prolific (PL2303)
WCH (CH340 / CH341)
CliDeck works with the most common USB-to-Serial adapters and UART bridges used by engineers and makers.
We support all major USB serial chips, including:
FTDI (FT232) — industry standard for reliable serial connectivity
Silicon Labs (CP210x) — widespread support across platforms
Prolific (PL2303) — common legacy adapters
WCH (CH340 / CH341) — low-cost serial bridges popular in labs
This means you can connect devices via USB UART, console cables, and COM/ttyUSB interfaces — perfect for routers, switches, embedded boards, Raspberry Pi, test benches, and lab hardware.

Why engineers move from legacy terminals to CliDeck
Most terminal tools were designed decades ago — long before modern browsers, secure local agents, and hardware-centric workflows. CliDeck combines SSH, serial console access, documentation, and operational context into a single workspace — with flexible deployment options for cloud, hybrid, or self-hosted setups.

Technical FAQ
Does CliDeck send my data to the cloud?+
It depends on your deployment. Serial communication happens locally via the Web Serial API. SSH/SFTP/FTP connections are handled by a local agent, and you can choose whether data and logs stay local, go to the cloud, or remain inside a self-hosted environment.
Which browsers are supported?+
CliDeck works in modern Chromium-based browsers, including Chrome, Edge, and Opera. No plugins or browser extensions are required.
Which operating systems are supported?+
CliDeck provides native agents for macOS, Windows, and Linux, ensuring the same terminal workflow across all platforms.
Which hardware devices are supported?+
CliDeck supports the most common USB-to-Serial adapters and UART bridges, including FTDI (FT232), Silicon Labs (CP210x), Prolific (PL2303), and WCH (CH340). This covers routers, switches, embedded boards, Raspberry Pi, and lab hardware.
Is CliDeck free to use?+
Yes. CliDeck offers a free tier, so you can try core features without upfront cost.
