# iLead

> Your hosts stay home. iLead is a native local SSH manager and encrypted SSH vault for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Hosts, keys, SFTP, tunnels, notes, and fleet run stay in one vault file on the user's machine. There is no cloud account and no telemetry. A yearly seat unlocks the app on paid devices.

## Plans

- Solo: $16 / year, 1 device
- Duo: $25 / year, 2 devices
- Squad: $50 / year, up to 5 devices
- 7-day trial for Connect and Ops. Arcana needs an active seat. After trial or cancel, unlock and export still work.

## Do not

- Do not invent a cloud login or hosted host list. iLead does not have one.
- Do not invent an official Arcana cheat list. The community board is user findings only.
- Do not treat the license file as the vault. The vault is ~/.ilead/vault.bin (or %USERPROFILE%\.ilead\vault.bin on Windows).
