Questions
Frequently asked questions
Does Edgely have Royal TSX style folders and inheritance?
Edgely Console groups connections into folders, and a group carries shared settings such as credentials, jump host and colour, which its connections inherit. Dynamic folders driven by external scripts are not there today.
Is Edgely really free for personal use?
Yes. Edgely Console and Edgely Database Manager are free and complete for personal use: every feature unlocked, no time limit, no nag screens, no account needed. A paid licence is required when a company uses them for work.
Does Edgely run on macOS, Windows and Linux?
Yes, natively on all three. The Rust core compiles to native binaries and the Flutter UI is hardware-accelerated, so the same build runs on macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), Windows 10 and 11, and Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora or Arch. A mobile companion ships on Android and iOS.
Can I import my existing servers?
Edgely Console imports MobaXterm session exports (.mxtsessions), Remote Desktop Manager files (.rdm, .xml or .json) and Edgely's own .econ, .evlt, .efull and .eset exports. Other tools are typed in once for now. A MobaXterm or Remote Desktop Manager file brings the hosts, ports, users and folders, never the passwords those tools encrypt; Remote Desktop Manager's user names can also go into the vault, and an encrypted Edgely export or a password manager's CSV fills the vault directly. Whichever route you take, the credential lands in the encrypted vault on the device and is never uploaded.
Move your Royal TSX connections across
Rebuild your folder structure once, add the credentials to the vault, and use the same app on every desktop you own.
