Partial The vault, host management and SFTP browser are buildable with existing libraries, but a polished cross-platform terminal with a security-critical encrypted store and a SQL client is a substantial native engineering effort.
What it would actually take: A realistic build would be a native Rust app, likely using an SSH library such as russh, a terminal emulator core such as alacritty_terminal, and a GUI toolkit such as Tauri, egui or Iced. The hard parts are a correct and performant terminal emulator (escape sequences, Unicode, resize, mosh behaviour), a vault built on well-reviewed cryptography (key derivation, authenticated encryption, OS keychain integration) and per-platform packaging and signing. Solid security review and cross-OS testing are needed, so this requires an experienced systems or security engineer rather than vibe coding alone.
