macOS · free & open source

Your SSH connections,
one click away.

A modern, dark-themed SSH connection manager for macOS. Save your hosts, keys and options once — then double-click to open them in Terminal. No more retyping ssh user@host -i … every time.

$ brew install --cask aidevelopmentsnz/tap/ssh-manager

Self-contained — bundles its own Python + Tk, no dependencies. Unsigned, so first launch: right-click → Open.

Built for people who live in the terminal

Everything you need to manage a fleet of servers, nothing you don't.

One-click connect

Double-click a saved connection (or select it and hit Connect) to open Terminal and SSH straight in.

🗂️

Full connection manager

Add, edit and delete connections with host, user, port, identity file and any extra SSH options.

🔍

Instant search

Filter your list as it grows — find the right box by name, host or user in a keystroke.

🎨

Clean dark UI

Rounded cards, colour-coded avatar badges, a themed scrollbar and a Proton-inspired purple accent.

📄

Plain-text storage

Connections live as JSON in ~/.config/ssh-manager — easy to back up, edit or sync.

🛠️

Quick /etc/hosts edit

A built-in shortcut to pop open your hosts file when you need to wire up a new alias.

Install in seconds

Two ways to get it — pick whichever you like.

1 Homebrew

brew install --cask --no-quarantine \ aidevelopmentsnz/tap/ssh-manager

The tap also carries our other apps. --no-quarantine skips the Gatekeeper prompt on first launch.

2 Direct download

1. Download the .dmg from Releases 2. Drag SSH Manager → Applications 3. Right-click the app → Open → Open

Heads up: SSH Manager isn't yet signed/notarized, so macOS warns on first launch — approve it once with a right-click → Open. Apple Silicon Macs run it via Rosetta (you'll be prompted to install it the first time if needed).
