Termius 9.35.4 — Mac version

Termius runs on Apple Silicon and 64-bit Intel Macs, back to macOS 10.13 High Sierra. If your machine still boots, chances are this will work.

One task: tweak a config on a remote Pi

You keep a Raspberry Pi in the shed recording temperatures. Every few months the logging script needs a tweak. Here's how that looks with Termius.

Hostname, IP, and your SSH key or password

• A Mac with the app installed
• The Pi's hostname or IP address
• Your SSH key or password

Add the Pi host and pick per-connection fonts

Open Termius and add the Pi as a new host. Paste its local IP, pick a theme that's easy on the eyes (the app lets you set per-connection fonts and colours), and save. Double-click the entry — you're in. Edit the script with nano, save, and close. Next time, the host sits in the sidebar waiting. You can open several sessions in tabs or split the window if you're juggling more than one machine. The app also supports Mosh and Telnet alongside plain SSH, so it fits whatever odd kit you've got wired up in the corner.

Termius won't clash with the built-in Terminal app

People often ask whether Termius plays nicely alongside the built-in Terminal app. It does — they're completely separate. You can keep Terminal for quick local tasks and use Termius for remote hosts. No settings clash.

Another common question is about the cloud sync. Connection details and credentials sync through encrypted storage tied to a Termius account. You don't have to use it. Plenty of folks keep everything local and skip the account altogether. The app works fine either way.

If you've stumbled across a Termius torrent or a Termius crack Mac download, you've probably already spotted that version 9.35.4 is the current build. Cracked copies need a bit of care with syncing and agent forwarding — features that rely on the app phoning home properly. Stick with the disk image route and you'll get the full set: SFTP, port forwarding, snippet storage, the lot.

Touch ID unlocks saved credentials without a master password

Termius hooks into a few macOS corners that make daily use smoother. Touch ID protects saved credentials — you tap the sensor instead of typing a master password every time. If your Mac lacks a fingerprint reader, a system password prompt fills the same role.

SSH agent forwarding keeps your keys on your Mac while you hop through jump hosts. That means you're not scattering private keys onto servers you're just passing through. The app also integrates with AWS and DigitalOcean: pull in your droplet or EC2 inventory without copy-pasting IPs from a dashboard.

For file work, the built-in SFTP client opens alongside your terminal session. Drag files between panes or edit remote configs directly. The Mac App Store sandboxed version doesn't offer local terminal access or local SFTP browsing, so the direct-download build is the one to reach for if you want the full toolkit.

On the security side, FIDO2 hardware keys work for authentication, and the app supports ECDSA and ed25519 keys with the chacha20-poly1305 cipher. Proxy servers and jump servers slot in during host setup — useful if your Pi shed sits behind a bastion box.

Fire apt update or tail -f across hosts from snippets

Save your common snippets. If you run the same apt update && apt upgrade or tail -f command across half a dozen hosts, add it to the saved snippets pane. One click fires it into whichever session is active. The shared command history also means you're not re-typing that one weird find incantation you always forget.

Set per-host themes. Give production boxes a subtle red tint on the tab bar and dev machines a green one. When you've got five sessions open in split view, the colour cue stops you from rebooting the wrong server. The setting lives under each host's preferences.

Sort your sidebar. Group hosts by location, client, or whatever makes sense. Drag-and-drop folders in the sidebar keep things tidy. If a machine connects through a serial cable, Termius handles that too — handy for network kit that doesn't speak SSH.
