Hi Product Hunt! I’m excited to launch **Upshell** — a native SSH and SFTP client built specifically for macOS. Why we built Upshell As developers and sysadmins, we spend hours every day in remote servers. But most SSH tools today fall into two traps: 1. They are heavy, Electron-based web wrappers that consume gigabytes of RAM and lag on large scrollbacks. 2. They force mandatory cloud accounts, sync your server credentials to third-party servers, and lock essential features behind steep monthly subscriptions. We wanted a console that feels like a true native Mac app: instant, secure, sandboxed, and deeply integrated with Apple’s ecosystem. What makes Upshell different: - 100% Native Performance: Written in Swift & SwiftNIO (zero Electron). Instant launch times and minimal CPU/RAM usage. - Tabs & Split Panes: Open as many SSH sessions as you need in horizontal or vertical splits, with environment colors (e.g. red for production). - Co-Session SFTP: Drag and drop files, edit permissions with a visual chmod grid, and preview remote files with Quick Look — all over the *exact same - SSH connection* as your active shell. Zero secondary logins. - Advanced Tunnels & Bastions: Multi-hop ProxyJump routing (up to 8 hops) and live tracking of Local (-L), Remote (-R), and Dynamic SOCKS5 (-D) port forwarding. - Trust & Security First: No accounts, no telemetry, no tracking. Your private keys and passwords stay strictly in your macOS Keychain and operate inside Apple’s App Sandbox. Fair Pricing: The core security layer (unlimited hosts, keys, 2FA, TOFU host key checks, SFTP, ⌘K palette) is **100% FREE forever**. The productivity layer (FULL) is available as a single lifetime purchase or a low-cost annual plan. We’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and feature requests!
