✦ AI × SSH

Your AI can run your servers.
Your credentials stay home.

Sshly is an MCP server: Claude Code, Codex & other AI tools work over your saved connections — every command needs your approval, and no key or password ever leaves the Keychain.

More that makes
the difference.

Port Forwarding

Visual tunnel manager for local, remote, and dynamic SOCKS proxies. Set it once, forget it.

Every server in its own tab. ⌘T to open, ⌘1–9 to switch, and your tabs restore on relaunch.

SSH Key Manager

Import, inspect, and manage your keys — fingerprints and Keychain-backed passphrases in one place.

Beautiful Themes

Light, dark, and custom. Bring your favorite terminal colors. Or use ours — we think they're nice.

Keyboard First

Every action has a shortcut. ⌘K for everything. Power users feel at home from minute one.

Smart Reconnect

Networks change. Reconnect in a click — and your tabs restore right where you left off on relaunch.

Questions, answered.

Yes — Sshly is out now. Download the free version (up to 3 connections) and upgrade to a lifetime license whenever you outgrow it. Founding-member pricing is available while spots last.
Software you depend on should be software you own. We charge once, fairly, and keep building. That's our business model — your trust.
For now Sshly focuses on macOS so we can make the Mac experience genuinely great. Other platforms aren't ruled out for the future — but macOS comes first.
Locally. Connection details live in a small database on your Mac, and passwords and key passphrases go into the macOS Keychain. Nothing is sent to us — we never see your credentials. (Encrypted iCloud sync is on the roadmap.)
Today you can import your existing ~/.ssh/config in one step. A dedicated one-click Termius importer is on the roadmap.
Like “SSH-lee.” It's just SSH, made a little friendlier.
We're considering a limited free tier for evaluation. Final pricing details will be announced before launch.
