Features

Terminalia features: SSH, SFTP, tunnels and processes in one window

Five areas, one session. Every screenshot is the real app, untouched.

01 · Connections

Your hosts from ~/.ssh/config, imported in one click

Reads ~/.ssh/config and lets you choose which hosts to import, with their keys, forwarded ports and jump hosts. Re-importing updates them without overwriting anything you edited by hand.

ProxyJump and SSH agents exactly as you have them configured
Key passphrase stored in the macOS Keychain
Live status: connected, reconnecting, down
Automatic reconnect with the tunnels you had open

Step-by-step guide: ~/.ssh/config

02 · Master connection and tunnels

SSH tunnels over a single authentication

Terminalia opens a master session with your Mac’s OpenSSH (ControlMaster) and reuses it for the file browser, commands, logs and terminal. -L and -R tunnels are added and removed live over that same session.

Tunnels start automatically on connect and after a reconnect

03 · File browser and editor

SFTP client and remote editor: drag, edit and save on the server

An SFTP browser that works like Finder: drag from the desktop to upload, to the desktop to download, within the app to move. Permissions, rename, new folder and a transfer queue with progress.

Double-click opens the file in the built-in editor (Monaco), with highlighting for dozens of languages. ⌘S uploads it. If it changed on the server in the meantime, you’re told before overwriting and can compare.

04 · Processes

PM2 and Docker Compose: start, stop and restart in one click

Detects what each server runs and shows it in tabs. Live status, CPU and memory; start, stop, restart and open the logs of any process or container. Containers are grouped by Compose project.

Recreate Compose services and pull new images
Details with recent stderr and log paths
Destructive actions require a typed confirmation
Works even if pm2 was installed with nvm: it uses your login shell

05 · Logs and terminal

Live logs from several services and a full terminal

Each log in its own floating window: search, pause without losing lines, filter by level, color-coded errors. Works for PM2 processes, Docker containers or any file on the server from the context menu.

The built-in terminal (SwiftTerm) runs over the same session: colors, vim, htop. And ⌘K opens a palette to run a one-off command and see its output without opening anything.
