Your servers beside your agents

Termlux keeps your SSH hosts in one list with how each is doing, opens a shell on any of them with one key, and puts their files and port forwards a click away, in the same window as your terminals and agent chats.

Every host and how it’s doing

Hosts are listed by group, each with its status: reachable, connected, needs sign-in, refused, unreachable, host key changed. Select one for its latency, system, uptime and load. Already have hosts in ~/.ssh/config? Import them in one step. Jump hosts work too.

In the guide: SSH hosts
The Hosts screen: hosts in groups with their status, and one host’s latency, system, uptime, load, files and port forwards.

Keys in two clicks, passwords in the Keychain

Make an SSH key, put it on your server, and see which hosts use which key. A password is kept in the macOS Keychain and filled in when you connect. It’s never written to disk or put on a command line.

In the guide: SSH keys and passwords
The Keychain screen: three SSH keys with their fingerprints and the hosts that use them, and one host’s stored password.

Files on the server

Browse a server’s files, drop files in to upload them, download, rename and delete. You can open a shell right where you are, too.

In the guide: Files on your servers

Port forwards you start with a click

Open a server’s database or web UI on your Mac, let a server reach your Mac, or send traffic through a host as a SOCKS proxy. Each tunnel starts and stops with a click and shows when it fails, and why.

In the guide: Port forwarding
Port forwarding: a local forward that’s active, one that’s stopped, and a SOCKS proxy that failed because its port is in use.

Claude can set them up, with your approval

In a Claude Code chat, Claude can add hosts, make and install keys, and set up port forwards for you. Every change to your servers waits for your OK in a Termlux dialog, and passwords never go through Claude.

On all your Macs

Your hosts follow you to your other Macs, without their secrets: passwords and keys stay on the Mac they’re on.

Questions and answers

Yes. Import from ~/.ssh/config adds its hosts in one step, and the SSH Agent sign-in uses your running ssh-agent and your SSH config.

In the macOS Keychain, filled in when you connect. They’re never written to disk or put on a command line, and they don’t sync to your other Macs.
