Questions people ask
Does iLead store my hosts and keys in the cloud?
No. Hosts, keys, SFTP, database connections, tunnels, and notes are stored in an encrypted vault on the user's own machine, with no cloud account or telemetry required.
How is the vault encrypted?
The vault uses Argon2id plus AES-256-GCM encryption, and users can switch between isolated Work, Personal, and Client vault profiles.
Can I import sessions from PuTTY, MobaXterm, or Termius?
Yes, iLead can import NeoServer, Termius, Tabby, MobaXterm, PuTTY, WinSCP, CSV spreadsheets, and Ansible inventories.
How does iLead sync hosts across my devices?
Sync merges vault snapshots through a folder you already use, such as iCloud Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or NAS; there is no iLead cloud copy of your host list.
What databases does the Database Studio support?
It supports Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, Oracle, SQLite, CockroachDB, MongoDB, Cassandra, and Redis, allowing querying, schema browsing, row editing, and data dumps.
