Terminus for Mac

1.2

Terminus for Mac brings your servers together: SSH terminal, the state of every machine, Docker, services, network, tunnels and alerts. No account, no cloud.

Terminus connects to your servers over SSH and shows at a glance what is fine and what is not.

Passwords stay in the macOS Keychain; the app talks only to your servers and, if you want, to your own AI model.

Six languages: French, Dutch, German, English, Russian and Spanish.

Features

Board

The whole fleet on one screen

Every host with its state, CPU, graphics card, memory, disks, Docker and uptime; problems rise to the top.

Terminal

SSH in tabs

Several terminals at once, tmux sessions that survive a dropped connection, reusable command snippets.

Docker

Containers and services

Start, stop, restart, read the logs, open a shell; systemd services with journal and restart.

Network

Built-in tools

Devices on the local network with their name and maker, port scan, ping, DNS lookups.

Key

Key-based login

Terminus creates its own ed25519 key and installs it on the host; the password is needed only once.

Privacy

Nothing leaves

No account, no cloud, no telemetry: only SSH connections to your own servers.
