Everything your connection routine needs
Designed for people who work with many clients and environments every day.
Credential vault
One login per client works for all of its servers; change the password in one place.
Jump host (SSH tunnel)
Reach servers behind a bastion: RDP, SQL, Web and SSH go through the tunnel on their own.
Detachable tabs and tab sets
Move a session to another monitor and open your daily routine with one click.
Serial console (COM)
Console cable on switches, routers and firewalls: port, speed and 8N1, with automatic login.
SFTP/FTP files
Computer and server side by side; drag to upload and download; synchronize folders.
SSMS-style SQL Server client
Object explorer with several servers in the same tab, queries, execution plan, a grid with sorting and filters, code comparison across databases and servers, create/rename/delete/copy databases, properties, backup, restore, shrink, CHECKDB and index maintenance, logins with server roles (sysadmin), users and roles, SQL Server Agent jobs, script generation and Excel import. Also as FM Terminals SQL, its own Start menu icon with just the SQL client.
Architecture and PDF report
The diagram of each client or system built from its connections, in layers, with Production, QA and Dev side by side. Link servers by dragging one onto another, with protocol, ports and direction, and export a PDF report with a cover, diagram, server inventory and link matrix for the firewall.
Trace queries (Profiler)
See live every command and procedure an application runs on SQL Server, with duration, CPU, reads and rows, filters by application, database, login and computer, and CSV export. Uses Extended Events and also works on Azure SQL Database.
AI SQL assistant (Claude)
Describe the query and Claude, by Anthropic, writes it from the database structure (tables, columns, keys and procedures), never the data. It fixes the error of the last run, changes the editor's query and writes table scripts; nothing runs on its own. With your own API key, the model of your choice and this month's spend in sight.
AI that organizes, explains and draws
Organize with AI suggests a client, system, environment and tags for imported connections, for you to review before they apply. Explain with AI says why a query is slow, from its execution plan or the query trace, and which index helps. In Architecture, AI suggests links between servers. Check passwords finds repeated, weak, old and unused credentials without leaving your computer.
Home screen and History
Your data file at a glance: connections, production, open sessions and servers not answering, by environment and by type. History keeps every connection opened on this computer, with a client filter and Connect.
Clients by system and tags
One line per client, with how many connections it has in Production, QA and Dev; the list split by environment with Production always first. Drag to change environment, organize by system and use tags with color and icon (Linux, Windows, database, web) to filter.
New password, new key
Changing the data file password also changes the key that protects the data: whoever knew only the old password, like someone who left the team, can no longer open the new versions. Teammates type the new password once.
Shared revisions
Every change to a procedure, view or function keeps the previous version; compare and restore. In a team, everyone sees the history.
Teamwork
A data file shared through the company SQL Server; each person has their own user, personal passwords only they can see, and passwords shared by group.
Several computers
Keep the file in a OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox folder; type the password once on each PC.
Import from where you are
Terminals, RDCMan, mRemoteNG, MobaXterm, .rdp files and CSV spreadsheets.
Automatic lock
The app locks itself when you step away; sessions stay connected. No data is sent to us.

What's new
Everything that changed in FM Terminals, from the latest version back to the start of the project.
3.2.10 Remote desktop fix
- A connected remote desktop no longer shows on top of the Home, History, Architecture and Help pages.
3.2.9 General bug sweep
- Settings no longer go back to the defaults when opening a .rdp or .sql file, and ANSI .sql files keep their accents when saved.
- SQL results and editing: columns named c1, c2… and large decimals no longer stop the run, edited dates stay exact and scripts of columnstore, partitioned and filtered indexes come out right.
- AI: answers in the right tab, complete costs, and addresses and personal credentials kept private when organizing.
3.2.8 Date format and more index commands
- Date format of the SQL results of your choice, like NLS_DATE_FORMAT in Oracle.
- Right click on indexes: CREATE and DROP scripts, rebuild, reorganize, statistics, fragmentation and delete; commands for all on the Indexes and Triggers folders.
- Fixes: dates with and without milliseconds in the same format, and the object explorer no longer scrolls sideways on its own.
3.2.7 Column types and a faster filter
- Types box in the SQL results: the type of each column under its name (varchar(20), datetime, numeric(15,0)…).
- Object explorer filter without freezing, matching the name without the "dbo." and taking * or % as wildcards.
- Fix: blank column names in results with many columns.
3.2.6 SQL editor suggestions right away
- Choosing the database in the editor reads its tables, views and procedures again, so the suggestions show at once (optional, in Settings › Connections).
- Fix: the suggestions only showed after opening the database in the object explorer.
3.2.5 Sober or colorful look
- New Sober style (the default): neutral title bar, gray badges and icons, and color only where it means something (production, QA, alerts).
- The Colorful style stays available in Settings › Appearance and switches on the spot.
3.2.4 AI to organize, explain and draw
- Organize with AI: client, system, environment and tags suggested for your connections, reviewed before they apply.
- Explain with AI: why a query is slow, from its execution plan or the query trace, with the index that helps.
- Architecture: links between servers suggested by AI. Check passwords: repeated, weak, old and unused.
- SQL assistant in a side panel with the conversation history, six models and the cost of each question alongside.
- Open .sql, .rdp and .fmterminals files with a double click, and an instant Ctrl+A on results with thousands of rows.
3.2.3 SQL assistant with AI
- Describe the query and Claude, by Anthropic, writes it from the database structure (never the data); it fixes the error of the last run and changes the editor's query. Nothing runs on its own.
- With your own Anthropic API key; the model (Opus, Sonnet or Haiku) in Settings and this month's spend in the SQL session bar.
- A livelier SQL editor toolbar: a red Stop button and a color for each tool.
3.2.2 Server roles in logins
- SQL Server logins with server roles (sysadmin, dbcreator, securityadmin…), when creating the login or later, with a confirmation before giving sysadmin.
- Fix: the SQL edit grid edits, inserts and deletes rows again.
3.2.1 New password, new key
- Changing the data file password now also changes the key that protects the data: whoever knew only the old password (someone who left the team) can't open the new versions. Teammates type the new password once and go on without losing anything.
- A full security and stability review: shell shortcuts (Ctrl+W, Ctrl+L) inside the terminal, safer folder sync, team groups, the SQL edit grid, mRemoteNG and CSV import.
- SQL: the edit grid only saves when the results come from the table itself, Excel export keeps every digit of large numbers and restoring over an offline database asks first.
3.2 Architecture, Profiler and clients by system
- Architecture: the diagram of each client or system built from its connections, in layers, with Production, QA and Dev side by side and live status; link servers by dragging one onto another.
- Architecture report in PDF: cover with the client's logo, diagram, server inventory and link matrix.
- Trace queries (Profiler) in the SQL Server client, live, with filters and CSV export.
- Cleaner clients menu: one row per client, list grouped by environment, Organize by system and tags with a kind, color and icon.
- More room for sessions: icons-only side menu and a list that can be hidden.
3.1 A new look
- Home screen with the numbers of the data file, connections by environment and by type and the recent ones.
- History of every connection opened, filtered by client.
- A cleaner look: bigger text, light buttons, pill filters and the About window.
3.0 New major version
- Brings together everything since 2.0: a full SSMS-style SQL Server client, FM Terminals SQL, team on SQL Server with an offline copy, WinSCP-style files, jump host, tab sets and Help with pictures in 13 languages.
2.0.47 to 2.0.51 Restore and stability
- Restore database shows each file as it is in the backup, with the option to restore with the backup's file names.
- Deleting files and folders on an SFTP/FTP server shows its progress, with a Stop button.
- Fixes in the team vault, several SQL servers in one tab, INSERT scripts and SFTP reconnection.
2.0.46 FM Terminals SQL
- FM Terminals SQL: a second icon in the Start menu that opens only the SQL Server client, like a separate SQL Server Management Studio, with its own taskbar icon. Same app, same purchase, same data file.
- FM Terminals and FM Terminals SQL can stay open together: what one changes shows up in the other within seconds.
- fmterminals command in Run (Win+R) or in the terminal; fmterminals /sql opens the SQL module.
2.0.45 Help with screenshots
- Help (F1) and the manual cover every feature, with screenshots, in 13 languages.
2.0.44 Several SQL servers in one tab, logins and roles
- Several SQL servers in the same tab, as in SQL Server Management Studio: one object explorer with all the servers and the queries of all of them together, each showing the server and database it runs on. The production-server warning follows each query.
- Connect another server right from the explorer: a saved connection, or typing the server with user and password, Windows login or a saved credential.
- Server logins: create (SQL Server or Windows), delete, enable/disable, change password and map to databases with each one's roles.
- Database roles (user groups): create, delete and choose who belongs.
2.0.42 and 2.0.43 Database administration
- Create, rename and delete databases, take them offline/online, warning how many connections are using the database and offering to close them.
- Database properties: size, last backup, owner, recovery model, compatibility level and read-only.
- Copy a database under another name on the same server, without touching the original's backups.
- Detach and attach (.mdf), finding the log by itself.
- Database sessions, maintenance (CHECKDB, statistics, fragmentation and index script) and users and permissions.
2.0.38 to 2.0.41 Team, files and appearance
- Light/dark theme in one click (moon/sun in the title bar).
- Default remote desktop resolution per client, and full screen at the monitor's real resolution.
- New credentials as “only me” in a team file, synced through SQL Server, and a notice when team credentials are missing on this computer.
- Tidier data folder: backups in the Backup folder and shared copies in the Shared folder.
See the rest of the timeline, back to the start
2.0.35 to 2.0.37 SQL Server even closer to SSMS
- Estimated (Ctrl+L) and actual (Ctrl+M) execution plan: operator tree with the cost of each one, estimated × actual rows and missing-index suggestions with the script ready. Saves as .sqlplan.
- Results as text (Ctrl+T).
- Generate scripts for several tables, views, procedures and functions in a single file.
- SQL Server Agent jobs: status, last and next run, start, stop, enable and history showing the step that failed.
- Compare across databases and servers: the same procedure in DEV × PROD, side by side, with the differences highlighted.
- Rename right in the explorer (double-click or F2), copy column names and a clearer explorer filter.
- Remote desktop with dynamic resolution: the session follows the window size.
- Fixes: the explorer keeps folders open on refresh and no longer scrolls sideways hiding the arrows.
2.0.30 / 2.0.31 SQL Server database backup and restore
- Back up a database straight from FM Terminals, as in SSMS: full, differential or transaction log, with compression, “copy only”, verification at the end and a progress bar.
- Restore a backup (.bak): see the backups the file holds, restore over an existing database or as a new database with another name, choose where the files go and close open connections automatically. Replacing a database always asks for confirmation (with an extra warning in production).
- Server folder browser: the backup file lives on the SQL Server computer, and FM Terminals shows its folders for you to choose from.
- Script button: opens the BACKUP/RESTORE command in a query, for those who want to review it first.
- Fix: buying the app in the Microsoft Store is now recognized right away (before, the trial period could keep showing).

Frequently asked questions
What is FM Terminals?
A remote connection manager for Windows 10 and 11 (x64 and ARM64): RDP, SSH, SFTP, FTP, Telnet, Serial, VNC, Web and SQL Server in tabs, organized by client and environment (Production, QA, Dev), with an AES-encrypted password vault, an SSMS-style SQL Server client and teamwork through the company SQL Server. It is sold on the Microsoft Store and developed by Flávio Miguel (BRSEA Tecnologia).
Is it an alternative to mRemoteNG, MobaXterm or RDCMan?
Yes. Like them it brings many connection types together in tabs, and it adds organization by client and environment, a password vault, a SQL Server client and teamwork. It imports connections from MobaXterm, mRemoteNG, RDCMan, Terminals and .rdp files. See the feature comparison.
Do I need a card to try it?
No. Download it free and use it for 1 month with everything unlocked.
What happens after the 1-month trial?
It keeps working for free with up to 3 connections. For unlimited connections, buy the annual license inside the app.
How do I pay?
Through the Microsoft Store, with a card, PayPal or Microsoft account balance. The license is annual (1 year, renewable) and renewal also goes through the Store.
Does it work on more than one computer?
Yes. The license is tied to your Microsoft account, and the data file can live in a cloud folder.
Do my passwords go to one of your servers?
No. They stay encrypted on your computer, in your cloud or on your company SQL Server. There is no telemetry.
My company blocks the Microsoft Store. Now what?
Write to support@brsea.com.br: we have a corporate license and installation for those cases.
I already use mRemoteNG/RDCMan/Terminals. Can I migrate?
Yes. Import your connections and credentials in Tools → Import.
Does it work on Windows 11 ARM?
Yes.
Which languages does it support?
13, with the interface and help translated: Português (Brasil), Português (Portugal), English, Español, Français, Deutsch, Italiano, Nederlands, Dansk, Norsk, Polski, Русский, 中文 (简体). It opens in the Windows language and can be changed in Settings.
Does it work with a console cable (serial / USB-serial port)?
Yes, since 2.0.28: create a Serial connection, pick the port (COM3…) and the speed.
Can I bring my MobaXterm sessions?
Yes: export your sessions in MobaXterm (.mxtsessions) and use Import › MobaXterm. Passwords do not come along (MobaXterm does not export them).
How do I move my connections and passwords to another computer?
Tools › Share a copy with a password (it includes the team credentials you can read), or keep the data file in a OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox folder.
How do I get updates?
Automatically through the Microsoft Store.
Can I back up and restore SQL Server databases?
Yes, since 2.0.30: right-click the database › Back up…, or Databases › Restore database…. The .bak file lives on the SQL server, as in SSMS.
I bought on the Microsoft Store and reinstalled; do I lose the license?
No. The purchase stays on your Microsoft account: when you reinstall or use another computer with the same account, FM Terminals recognizes the license by itself.
Is there an execution plan like in SSMS?
Yes: Ctrl+L shows the estimated plan without running; Ctrl+M includes the actual plan along with the results. FM Terminals highlights the most expensive operators and suggests indexes.
Does the license expire?
The Store license is valid for 1 year. In the last month the app shows a notice with a Renew in Store button; the date appears in Settings › About.
Can I work with several SQL servers at the same time?
Yes. They all sit in the same object explorer, as in SSMS, and each query shows which server and database it runs on. You can open a saved connection or type the server on the spot.
Can I create logins and grant access to databases?
Yes: in Logins… (right-click the server) you create the login and tick which databases it has a user in and with which roles. Database roles can also be created and deleted, and server roles (such as sysadmin and dbcreator) give access to the whole server.
Can I copy a database to test something?
Yes: right-click the database › Copy database… creates a copy under another name on the same server, without affecting the original's backups.
Can I use just the SQL Server part?
Yes. FM Terminals also installs FM Terminals SQL in the Start menu: it opens only the SQL Server connections, with the object explorer and queries, and can stay open alongside the full FM Terminals. It is not a separate purchase.
Can I draw the architecture of my clients?
Yes, since 3.2: the Architecture menu. The diagram is built from the connections you already have; link servers by dragging one onto another and export a PDF report with inventory and link matrix.
Can I see the queries an application runs, like in SQL Server Profiler?
Yes, since 3.2: right-click a server or database › Trace queries (Profiler). It needs the ALTER ANY EVENT SESSION permission.
Who makes FM Terminals
Hi! I'm Flávio da Costa Miguel, a production engineer, fan of technology and of a good barbecue, with more than 25 years of experience in the field.
Every day I connect to dozens of servers from different clients, and I missed software that was truly useful for people who work in IT: organized, secure and affordable. I decided to fix that and ease the pain of those who go through the same.
That is how FM Terminals was born: made by someone who uses it.
