What you get
Keep your SSH connections organized and spend less time preparing each login.
You get a visual way to maintain your SSH connections instead of editing every setting as plain text. Find settings across hosts, arrange configurations in a useful order, group related systems, and disable entries you no longer need. Templates let you reuse settings for similar hosts rather than start from scratch.
You can start connections from the app, assign an identity file to each host, and use securely stored passwords for automatic login. A visual view of local and remote port forwarding helps you check how your tunnels are configured. You can also generate RSA key pairs and copy a key to the current host.
You can keep your known-hosts records in order, too: search entries, change revocation states, and remove or comment out invalid hosts.
-

Check your tunnel configuration
You get a visual view of local and remote forwarding to help you review how connections are routed.

Best for
