Available features depend on the selected plan. ## Use the SSH identities you already have A saved host keeps its connection settings in Termy. For a host linked to an OpenSSH alias, Termy resolves the default ~/.ssh/config on the Mac making the connection. It re-reads the destination, user, port, includes and jump route before a connection or reconnect. If your private keys live in an SSH agent, use that agent for authentication. The supported 1Password SSH Agent integration delegates signing without copying the private key into Termy. Selecting an IdentityFile in SSH configuration does not by itself authorize Termy to open that private key. - Connect directly to a host or through a supported ProxyJump chain. - Keep a manually configured host independent from your SSH config. - Use split terminals when you need more than one shell in the same workspace. ## See the host before changing it Host X-ray collects an agentless view of the connected system: resource pressure, disks, processes, ports, services and containers. That context helps distinguish a busy service from a connection problem before you start changing configuration. SFTP, tunnels and data services share the same operational workspace. Pro adds richer host diagnostics, session replay and fleet execution, so the same host context stays useful as your work moves beyond a single terminal. ## A practical first connection Start with a host you are authorized to access and confirm its address, SSH port and authentication method. Add the host in Termy, or choose SSH Config and preview a linked alias before saving it. Connect, inspect the host information and open the shell or file browser needed for the task. When introducing a jump host, verify every hop and its credentials before using the route for important work. If the connection fails, separate name resolution, network reachability, host-key verification and authentication rather than repeatedly retrying with different credentials. ## Know the platform and configuration boundaries Termy requires macOS 26 or later. This download is a Mac application; it is not a Windows or Linux desktop client. The OpenSSH integration does not execute Match or ProxyCommand commands. ProxyCommand routes, cyclic jump chains and invalid ports are rejected. Use the detailed SSH configuration guide for the supported linked-host behavior. ## Common questions ### Is Termy a free SSH client for Mac? Yes. Termy Free is a permanent core workspace with up to five hosts and five SSH keys, native SSH and SFTP, basic Host X-ray and one direct data-service connection. Pro adds more capacity and advanced workflows. ### Does Termy support ProxyJump? Yes. Linked SSH Config hosts support multi-hop and nested ProxyJump routes. ProxyCommand and executable Match directives are not supported. ### Can Termy use 1Password SSH keys? Yes. The supported 1Password SSH Agent integration reads public identities and delegates signing. Private keys remain with the agent. ## Keep exploring - [Use SSH Config and ProxyJump on Mac with Termy](https://termyapp.com/guides/ssh-config-proxyjump) - [SFTP Client for Mac with SSH Terminals](https://termyapp.com/sftp-client-macos) - [Free and Pro plans](https://termyapp.com/pricing) --- Official source: [Native SSH Client for macOS — Termy](https://termyapp.com/ssh-client-macos)
