Termy 1.6.0: Major Update

Connect your first host faster, understand failures more clearly, and run changes with more control.

Current public builds require macOS 26 or later. See the latest release: 1.7.9.

Getting Started

Your first connection now takes fewer steps. Onboarding leads directly to adding or importing a host, testing the connection, and opening a shell.
SSH config import has a clear next step. After importing, you can review and test the first host or connect to it immediately.
Host X-ray appears after your first connection. Termy identifies the system and brings the most useful host details into view as soon as the shell is ready.

See exactly what will run before it runs. Broadcasts, Playbooks, and command pipelines now show the command, target hosts, environment, risk, rollout settings, and verification plan before execution.
Roll out changes gradually. Use a canary host, limit concurrency, pause or stop a run, and inspect the result for each host before continuing.
Unsupported Playbook steps are blocked up front. A compatibility summary explains what Termy can run, what needs attention, and what must be changed before execution.

Connection failures now come with a reason and a next step. Diagnose can distinguish DNS, port, authentication, key, ProxyJump, and host-key problems and suggest a focused fix.
Repeated Activity errors are grouped together. You can see how often a problem occurred, when it last happened, and what to try next without digging through duplicate entries.
Incident Capsules keep troubleshooting context together. Save a local, redacted record of affected hosts, evidence, actions, and verification, compare hosts, and turn a verified fix into a reusable runbook.
A weekly operations digest is available in Activity. It summarizes recent work on this Mac and can be turned off at any time.

The seven-day Pro trial starts after your first successful connection. You get time to evaluate Pro after reaching real value, not while you are still setting up the app.
The paywall now explains the feature you were trying to use. Monthly, yearly, and lifetime plans are shown consistently at $6.99, $49.99, and $139.99.
Activate Termy directly from your web account. Each active license includes a one-time “Open Termy and activate” link, while copying the license key remains available as a fallback.

Background host checks and the weekly digest are under your control. Their status is visible in Settings, and either feature can be disabled.
Reporting a problem is safer. Termy removes sensitive details and asks for permission before attaching a diagnostic bundle.
Keyboard and assistive navigation are more consistent. Command search, quick switching, status controls, and database suggestions now expose clearer focus and selection states.
Termy now runs on macOS 14 and newer. Redis tools require macOS 15 or newer; the rest of the app remains available on macOS 14.

Import hosts from an installed Tailscale client. Termy reads the local MagicDNS inventory and imports only the hosts you select, without copying your Tailscale account credentials.
