Termy 1.7.8: Host Backups, Sync & SSH Agent

Move your host catalogue between Macs, see whether iCloud sync is active, and use every identity exposed by your SSH agent.

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

Host Backups

Export and import Termy hosts. The Hosts menu now creates a portable JSON backup and restores it without duplicating matching destinations.
Software-key export is optional and off by default. When enabled, referenced software SSH keys are encrypted with your backup passphrase. Passwords are never exported.
Device-bound keys stay device-bound. Secure Enclave, FIDO2, and PIV private keys never leave their hardware; matching local keys are reused by fingerprint during import.

Sync status now reflects the current launch. Settings distinguishes active iCloud sync, a pending restart, local-only fallback, and temporary storage.
The restart reminder now clears correctly. After Termy restarts with the requested sync setting, the reminder is replaced by the active or off status.
CloudKit startup failures are visible. Termy explains when it has fallen back to local-only storage instead of leaving an enabled toggle with no diagnostic.

All available agent identities are now tried. If a server rejects the first key, Termy continues with the remaining identities until one is accepted or every key has been exhausted. This fixes multi-key authentication with 1Password SSH Agent and other agents exposed through SSH_AUTH_SOCK.
