Upshell for Mac

What it does

Upshell is the native SSH and SFTP workstation built exclusively for macOS using Swift & SwiftNIO. Enjoy tabbed and split-pane terminals with environment colors, ProxyJump bastions up to 8 hops, live SOCKS5 port forwarding status, and integrated SFTP on the exact same connection — zero account required, 100% sandboxed, and saved safely in your Mac's Keychain.

The native SSH client for macOS. Tabbed terminal with split panes, in-process agent, SOCKS5 port forwarding, jump hosts, and co-session SFTP. Sandbox secure.

Tabbed and split terminal, saved hosts with keys and 2FA, multi-hop bastions, port forwarding and SFTP on the very same connection. Written in Swift and SwiftNIO — no Electron, no account, no telemetry. Hosts, terminal, tunnels and files in a single app — with the authentication your servers actually ask for, from private keys to one-time codes. SwiftTerm engine, xterm-compatible: unlimited tabs, horizontal and vertical panes, scrollback search, your font, color palettes, renameable tabs and per-host colors so production looks like production. Local (-L), remote (-R) and dynamic SOCKS5 (-D) forwarding with a live rules panel, plus ProxyJump chains up to 8 hops — each hop authenticated and…from upshell.app

  Talanoa▲341

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
