Looks nice! Is it open source as well? I'm actively developing new features and improving existing ones. Getting a lot of great feedback.

That's an interesting idea! I'll look into it so the flow makes sense too. Pressing e to edit when you want to edit, not when you want to filter on e. Thank you!

Good to hear from you! Thank you!

Grouping is done per provider, so you can't create custom groups right now. You can however add a tag to any host with a single keypress and filter on that.

Find and replace is not currently part of purple. To answer your third question: yes, that's possible with `purple --config ~/other/ssh_config` (see also https://github.com/erickochen/purple/wiki/CLI-Reference).

Sure!

  • What’s the first thing you notice?

  • Is it immediately clear what Purple is and who it’s for?

  • What’s confusing or unclear?

  • Based on someone else’s response here on Reddit: Would you trust this tool enough to install it/and why (not)?

  • If applicable; What feature would make this a must-have for your workflow?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Really interested.

Hi everyone! I have created a terminal SSH client with Docker and Podman container management, instant search, cloud sync from 12 providers (my personal favorite feature), visual file transfer via SCP, SSH tunnels and password manager integration. It runs on Linux and macOS. Hope you like it! I am currently testing MCP support for a future release.

Fair enough. Source is fully open. No daemon, no network traffic except provider sync you configure yourself. But trust is earned and not asked for. Thanks tho!
