Skiff
Self-hosted SSH manager with sessions that don't die
Self-hosted SSH manager built around one idea: sessions shouldn't die when you close a tab. Persistent sessions, session recording you can scrub through, plus (in the desktop app) break-glass approvals, guardrails on risky commands, and a tamper-evident audit chain. Core engine is Apache-licensed, rest is AGPL so it can't be forked into a closed paid product. Built solo, feedback welcome.
Hey maker here. Built this originally because I kept losing SSH sessions to closed tabs and flaky wifi, then kept going because "what actually happened during that session" turned out to be a much more interesting problem than "how do I not lose the connection."
Genuinely want to know: if you're managing SSH access for more than yourself, what's the actual dealbreaker for a tool like this is it audit, is it approvals, is it just setup friction? Trying to figure out what to build next.
