Hi, I am the developer of xtty. I wanted everyday terminal work to involve fewer repeated steps, from connecting to hosts and entering credentials to moving files and opening another remote shell.
xtty brings those workflows together in a native macOS app, alongside local terminals, tabs, split panes, broadcast input, and coding-agent status. The walkthrough shows how these pieces fit together.
There is a free edition, with an optional one-time Pro purchase. I would appreciate feedback from Mac developers and operators: what gets in the way of your everyday terminal work?
retyping the same password every time i reconnect to a box is what gets me, especially when i have 3-4 ssh sessions open at once
I've got a graveyard of terminal windows open right now and no idea which one is running what. Keeping my place between them is the headache I live with, so I'm glad someone sat with it. Nice one Jian ;)
Independent SSH connections in duplicated tabs sound handy. That would make working across multiple servers much easier.
