24 alternatives to UI for SSHFS
This tray-based program can be used to manage SSHFS mounts for remote servers. It was built out of a need to browse my self-hosted servers (and connected HDDs); managing the state for multiple SSHFS connections as well as avoiding system-hanging bugs on MacOS was becoming tedious. This is early software still, please use at your own risk and share any feedback. Github: https://github.com/thekashifmalik/sshfsui
Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. UI for SSHFS launched in 2024; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

Hi HN, I've built an app for macOS that allows performing common SSH operations on Linux servers using a native GUI. The problem: Managing multiple Linux servers usually means juggling terminal windows and copy-pasting snippets/scripts. After dealing with tens of production/staging VPSes at previous jobs, I realized there had to be a better way for common operations I did on a daily basis than my collection of bash snippets. Features: - Quickly switch between different servers. Tag servers with arbitrary key values for easy search. - Real-time dashboard with CPU/memory graphs,…

Greetings, creator here! I've been working on a new blogging platform specifically for lists on and off for a few months now and I'm excited to officially announce its launch. After seeing https://charm.sh a few months ago, I've been enamored by the idea of SSH apps. I decided that a blogging platform focused on developers could be the perfect use case for an SSH app. Also, I love writing lists. I think restricting writing to a set of lists can really help improve clarity in thought. The goal of this blogging platform is to make it simple to use the tools you love to write and…

Not sure if I would post this for the last day of #marchintosh OR wait for tomorrow the 1st of April. Both apply equally. Anyway, here's a pet project of mine, I made it as a glued on for another pet project of mine, but it developed a life of it's own now and can soar skyward toward success, fame, and glory.

Bello! Made this to help navigate the tumultuous process of navigating to a new machine on Mac when you have a number of custom utilities setup for editing particular files. This is designed to make that as easy as possible, and add some magic on top of that, like setting mailto handlers or anything else of that breed. Use XDG_CONFIG_HOME to keep it organized. Credit to https://github.com/moretension/duti for the original inspiration for the project. Happy to answer and help with whatever.

There's also a live countdown in the tray for the current block. Click-and-drag to create blocks, day/week views, Google/Outlook/Apple Calendar sync, Apple Reminders integration, and a Todo mode where tasks can be dragged onto the timeline.

SpacePigeon▲93I switch between a few different “modes” on my Mac every day (work, coding, meetings, personal stuff). Each time I’d end up reopening the same apps and dragging all the windows back into the right Spaces. Super repetitive and honestly kind of annoying. So over the past few weeks I hacked together a small open-source tool called SpacePigeon that basically remembers your whole workspace and puts everything back where it was. Things it can do: Save your current layout (apps + windows + Spaces) Restore it with one click or a hotkey Keep separate presets (like “Work”, “Coding”, “Meetings” etc.)…

ts-ssh solves a specific problem: accessing machines on your Tailnet from environments where you can't install the full Tailscale daemon (like CI/CD runners or restricted systems). It uses Tailscale's tsnet library to establish userspace connectivity, then provides a standard SSH experience. Works with existing workflows since it supports normal SSH features like ProxyCommand, key auth, and terminal handling. Some features that proved useful: • Parallel command execution across multiple hosts • Built-in tmux session management for multi-host work • SCP-style file transfers • Works on…

InfiniDesk▲90InfiniDesk brings multiple virtual desktops to your Mac. Instead of having a single cluttered desktop, make many desktops each with their own layout of file/folder icons, wallpaper and widget visibility. Have a desktop for Work, one for interesting Hacker News links, a fully empty desktop etc. Version 3 of the app (just released) now supports hotkeys to switch desktops in a blink, and also onscreen HUD notifications. Inspired by the Unix Common Desktop Environment of the 1990s, InfiniDesk is the only app that brings multiple desktops (workspaces/identities) to your Mac.

I built a CLI tool called `sshsync` to run shell commands and transfer files across multiple servers over SSH concurrently. It was inspired by tools like `pssh`, but I wanted something more modern, intuitive, and Pythonic. What it does: - Run shell commands on multiple servers (in parallel) - Push/pull files or directories with progress bars - Uses `~/.ssh/config` and lets you group hosts with YAML - Supports `--dry-run` mode to preview actions without executing - Outputs results using `rich` (tables, colors) - Built with `Typer`, `asyncssh`, and `rich` There’s no daemon or…

Problem Statement: A few months ago, I was outside of my city. I was on a bus when one of my team members messaged me saying users were unable to read the product description PDF. I had to wait 3 more hours until I got back home, opened the laptop, and SSH'd into the server to find out what was wrong. In that moment I realized that being able to manage a server from a phone is very important when a laptop is not nearby. What it does: It is a UI wrapper over standard SSH command outputs. It parses the SSH output and shows the results in UI elements, and also translates your actions to…
