SSH OS turns every machine you can SSH or FTP into a familiar desktop: a Finder for your files, terminal tabs, an Activity Monitor, a code editor, complete Minecraft and Terraria server managers, and the Codex coding agent.
Connect to as many machines as you like over SSH, SFTP, FTP or FTPS and work with them the way you work on your own computer.
Icon, list and column views, a sidebar of servers, Quick Look, Get Info with permissions, and drag and drop to upload. You can copy and paste between different servers.
Fast xterm.js terminal with tabs. Each tab can be a different server. Includes themes and clickable links.
Save unlimited servers and import them from ~/.ssh/config. Passwords are encrypted with the system keychain, and host keys are pinned on first connect.
Live CPU, memory, disk and network graphs. Find and quit processes, and start, stop or restart systemd services.
Edit remote files with syntax highlighting for 20+ languages, tabs and ⌘S / Ctrl+S to save.
Live logs with filtering, ping, traceroute, port scans and DNS lookups run from the server, and one-click saved commands.
When SSH OS finds a Minecraft server on a machine, the Minecraft Servers app appears in the Dock. You can also create a new server in a few clicks.
Paper and the newest Minecraft version by default. Pick how many players you expect and SSH OS sizes memory and view distance for your machine. It installs Java for you (no sudo).
Search Modrinth, Hangar and SpigotMC and install with one click. Every add-on is checked against your server version, outdated ones are flagged, updates install in one click, and plugin configs open in the editor.
Scheduled updates for the server jar and your plugins, even while SSH OS is closed. Old versions are kept so you can roll back.
Each server.properties key has a typed editor and a “?” help popover. Also covers Java, JVM flags (Aikar/Paper), game rules and config files.
World or full backups on a schedule with retention. Restoring keeps a safety copy of the current files.
Copy a server, with or without its worlds, to test updates or plugins. The copy gets its own folder, port and schedules.
Runs in a background tmux/screen session, restarts after crashes, starts on boot and supports scheduled restarts. Includes a live console with history.
The same one-click setup for Terraria, plus OpenAI's coding agent right on your server.
TShock, tModLoader or the official server, the newest version installed and verified. Player presets, worlds, every serverconfig.txt setting with help, backups, crash restarts, scheduled restarts and duplicating.
TShock plugins from GitHub and tModLoader mods from the Steam Workshop: install, update, enable and edit configs. Plugins and mods built for another version are flagged.
A private HTTPS page for your players: who is online, world details and a zoomable map. Admins also see characters, inventories and the console.
Maps drawn from the real world files, seeds to copy and explore, and Terraria world previews with every option: size, difficulty, Corruption or Crimson and secret seeds.
Install OpenAI's Codex CLI on any server in one click (no sudo, checksum-verified), sign in with ChatGPT or an API key, and open it in any folder from Finder.
Light and dark appearance, wallpapers, a Dock with magnification, and Spotlight to jump anywhere.
Version 2.0, MIT licensed. Small native app that updates itself, built by GitHub Actions directly from the source.
The app is not notarized by Apple yet. Open the .dmg, drag SSH OS to Applications, then right-click → Open and confirm. If macOS says it is damaged, run xattr -cr "/Applications/SSH OS.app".
The installer is not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may warn you. Click More info → Run anyway.
Enter an address and username, or import from ~/.ssh/config. Connect, and the server appears on your desktop like a drive.
