The problem

SSH was designed in
1995. Your fleet wasn't.

Every team eventually hits the same wall. A handful of servers turns into hundreds. Your .ssh/config turns into a graveyard. Keys go missing. Onboarding takes a week. Compliance is a spreadsheet.

01 config sprawl

Lost in .ssh/config

Hundreds of host aliases nobody trusts. Half are dead. Half hide behind bastions. None are documented.

02 security risk

Keys everywhere, secured nowhere

Private keys on laptops. In Slack DMs. In repos. When someone leaves, nobody knows what to rotate.

03 compliance gap

Zero audit trail

Who connected to the database last Tuesday? Who ran that script? bash_history is not a compliance answer.

04 wasted hours

Repeating yourself, 50 times

Patching 30 hosts? Open 30 tabs. Paste the same command 30 times. Hope nothing diverged.

05 team friction

Onboarding takes a week

New hire: 3 hours setting up SSH, decoding tribal knowledge, begging in Slack for keys.

06 tooling pain

Tunnels are a nightmare

Need to forward a port? Three blog posts, two ChatGPT answers, a Stack Overflow thread from 2014. Every time.

A short story in 5 scenes

From chaos to calm.

Scroll. Watch the day get less painful.

Act 1 · The mess

30 terminal tabs.
All of them named "1".

Half your day is spent finding the right window. The other half is spent SSH-ing into the wrong box. You patched web-03 three times because you thought it was web-07.

terminal 1

$ ssh user@???-01

terminal 2

$ ssh user@???-02

terminal 3

$ ssh user@???-03

terminal 4

$ ssh user@???-04

Act 2 · The leak

Where are your keys?

On a laptop. In a Slack DM. In ~/Downloads. That one ex-contractor still has prod access. You'd rotate, but you'd need to know what to rotate.

  • Private keys scattered across 14 devices
  • No audit of who-has-what
  • Rotation is a one-week project
Act 3 · Enter SSH Connects

One source of truth.

A single app for every server, every key, every snippet. Lives on your desktop. Syncs across the team. Search instantly. Connect in one click. Rotate keys in one keystroke.

K to open palette
7/8 ✓ 1 retry
Act 4 · Broadcast

One command.
Every host.

Stop opening 30 tabs to patch 30 servers. Type once, hit ↵. Watch parallel execution roll across the entire fleet with live status, retries, and a full audit log by default.

Act 5 · The team

Ship together.
Sleep at night.

Onboarding takes minutes. Access is granted by role. Every session is logged. New hire ships on day one — without a single private key landing in Slack.

The solution

One app. Every server.

SSH Connects replaces the patchwork of SSH configs, password managers, and shell scripts with a single tool that's fast, secure, and built for teams.

Connections

A real connection manager.

Group servers by environment, project, or team. Search across hundreds of hosts in milliseconds. Connect in one click.

prod ⌘K
prod-web-01 active
prod-db-primary idle
prod-cache-01 active
Broadcast

Run on 50 hosts. Without 50 tabs.

Pick a group, type once, hit enter. Live aggregated output. Cancel and drill in.

Vault

Encrypted SSH key vault.

OS keychain on desktop. Encrypted at rest on the server. Rotate once — every connection updates.

Snippets

Save the commands you live in.

How it works

From chaos to clarity.

Scroll through the three moves that take a fleet from "where did I put that key?" to "ship it."

01

Connect, in one click

Bring your existing .ssh/config or start fresh. Group hosts by environment, project, or team. Search across hundreds of connections in milliseconds — fuzzy match on host, alias, IP, tag.

⌘ K shortcut
02

Manage, with confidence

Keys live in an encrypted vault. Snippets capture the commands you actually run. Per-connection presets for jump hosts, port forwards, and agent forwarding.

⌘ ⇧ K shortcut
03

Scale, without losing your mind

Type a command once. Watch it execute in parallel across the entire fleet. Per-host status. Live aggregated output. A full audit trail by default.

Loved by engineers

Built for teams that ship.

We replaced four tools with SSH Connects. Onboarding new SREs went from a half-day SSH ritual to "sign in and you're done."

Broadcast mode alone paid for the team subscription. Patching 80 boxes used to be an afternoon. Now it's a coffee break.

The audit log is a compliance team's dream. SOC 2 evidence collection went from a spreadsheet to a CSV export.

Finally an SSH tool that respects the keyboard. ⌘K is muscle memory now and I can find any host in 3 keystrokes.

I migrated 240 connections from my .ssh/config in under 2 minutes. The import "just worked." Rare.

FAQ

Quick
answers.

Still curious? We're a real human email away.

support@sshconnects.dev
Where are my SSH keys stored?

On the desktop app, secrets sit in the OS keychain (Keychain on macOS, Credential Manager on Windows, libsecret on Linux). On the web, they are encrypted at rest with per-user keys. SSH Connects never has plaintext access to your secrets.

Does SSH Connects work offline?

Yes. The desktop app caches your connection list locally, so you can keep working when your internet hiccups. SSH itself is direct from your machine — SSH Connects does not relay traffic.

Can I bring my existing .ssh/config?

One-click import. SSH Connects parses your existing config and creates connections, preserving aliases, jump hosts, and per-host options.

Is there a CLI?

Yes. Everything you can do in the UI — connect, broadcast, run snippets — is also a CLI command, so you can script it into CI or ops runbooks.

How does team sharing work?

Create a team, invite members, share groups of connections. You control who can see, connect, edit, or run privileged snippets — with a full audit trail per user.

Can I self-host?

Yes — the $10/user/mo plan includes a Docker-based self-hosted option. Same binary, your VPC, your encryption keys.
