About
tether keeps your Windows machine tethered to your SSH hosts. Screenshots
and files copied to the clipboard upload over SSH and the remote path lands
on your clipboard, ready to paste into Claude Code, Codex, or any SSH
session. It also supervises SSH port forwards with keep-alive and automatic
reconnection, shares local Android (adb) devices with a server, and fetches
files a server drops in an outbox directory back to the local clipboard.
Requires the built-in Windows OpenSSH client and key-based auth.

Security
No known CVEs for tether.
Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.
