Your servers, one click away.
Termina is a native SSH client for Mac: a real terminal, the server's files alongside, tunnels and keys protected by Touch ID. Type user@host and you are in. Free, with no account and no tracking.
Anyone who runs a server, a NAS or a Raspberry Pi spends half their time remembering addresses, ports and keys. Termina keeps them tidy in a list with groups, colours and icons, and gets you in with one click. Passwords and keys live in the Mac's Keychain, unlocked with Touch ID, and keys created in the Secure Enclave cannot be copied even if you wanted to. If you already use ssh from Terminal, you import your ~/.ssh folder in one go.
A native SSH client for Mac: terminal, files, tunnels and keys safe in the Keychain.
xterm-256color with GPU (Metal) rendering and true colour: vim, htop and tmux behave just as they do in Terminal. Each server opens in a tab and you switch with ⌘1…⌘9. If the connection drops, a card explains why and offers Reconnect or Edit Server, without leaving the session.
Quick Connect works like ssh in Terminal: type the address, press Return and Termina asks for the password. If you want to keep it, Save Server adds it to your list with the password already filled in. Saved servers have groups, colours and icons, so you find them at a glance.
The Files panel (⇧⌘F) shows the server's folders over SFTP without opening another app. Drag files in to upload them, open a text file to edit it, and preview the rest with Quick Look. Open in Terminal takes the shell to that folder.
Port forwarding reaches services only the server can see, such as a database or an admin panel: local (-L) and remote (-R) tunnels with live status and traffic. Servers behind a bastion are reached like with ssh -J, up to 4 hops, and with agent forwarding git on the server uses your key without copying it.
Snippets are saved commands that work on every server, with variables in double braces: {{host}}, {{user}} and {{dir}} fill in by themselves, others like {{service}} are asked each time. History keeps each server's commands. With Apple Intelligence the assistant finds the right command or explains an error, without sending anything online.
Keep one server's logs open while you work on another: ⌘D splits the window with the next tab, side by side or stacked. The active pane has a coloured header and gets the keyboard, files and tunnels; each terminal fits its rows and columns to its half.
If you already use ssh, Termina reads your .ssh folder: Host, HostName, User, Port, IdentityFile, ProxyJump, tunnels and ForwardAgent, with the private keys and the trusted hosts from known_hosts. You see a preview and pick what to import; your files are never changed.
Six colour themes with live preview, font, size, cursor and opacity. English, Italian, French, German and Spanish. Siri, Shortcuts and Spotlight know your servers: "Connect to homelab with Termina". And the built-in guide explains every feature step by step (⌘?).
Pick the file for your system. Every download comes straight from the official releases on GitHub.
Apple Silicon and Intel
Open the DMG and drag Termina into Applications. It is signed and notarized by Apple, so it opens with no warnings. It works on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs with macOS 15 Sequoia or later.
macOS 15 Sequoia or later, on Apple Silicon (M1 or later) or Intel Macs. The Liquid Glass look needs macOS 26 Tahoe; the assistant needs Apple Intelligence (Apple Silicon and macOS 26). Secure Enclave keys need Apple Silicon or an Intel Mac with the T2 chip. You need an SSH server you can reach: on your network, over the Internet or through a VPN such as Tailscale.
Free, including professional use. The source code is not public.
Yes, the Mac version is free, with no account, no ads and no subscriptions, including for professional use. If you find it useful, you can support its development with a donation.
They stay only in your Mac's Keychain, unlocked with Touch ID or your Mac password. With iCloud sync they travel through your own iCloud, end-to-end encrypted: neither Apple nor the developer can read them. Keys created in the Secure Enclave never leave the chip, not even for Termina.
Yes: File › Import from ~/.ssh reads config, private keys and known_hosts, including jump hosts, tunnels and ForwardAgent. You see a preview and pick what to import; your files are not changed. In the panel press ⌘⇧. to see the hidden .ssh folder.
No. Termina is signed with an Apple Developer ID certificate and notarized by Apple, so it opens like any other app.
No. No account, analytics or tracking: Termina connects only to the servers you add and, if sync is on, to your own iCloud. The assistant runs on your Mac with Apple Intelligence too.
Type a name in the server's tmux session field: Termina runs tmux new-session -A -s <name> after login and, when it reconnects, takes you back to the same shell with everything still running. tmux must be installed on the server.
The iPhone and iPad versions are coming to the App Store, with iCloud sync and Handoff between devices. The link will appear here as soon as they are available.
Termina is free, with no account, no ads and no tracking, and built after hours. If it makes your server work easier, a donation pays for the time to build the next versions, starting with iPhone and iPad. On macOS it is already signed and notarized by Apple, thanks to a supporter.
