Nexus Shell

Nexus Shell is a native macOS SSH client for developers and server operators who want terminal access, file transfers, container management, and live infrastructure visibility in one SwiftUI app.

It combines multi-tab SSH terminals, dual-pane SFTP, Docker controls, encrypted SSH key management, command history, session recording and replay, network monitoring, and SSH security insights. Its Agent Bridge lets approved MCP-compatible AI tools work through visible terminal tabs without accessing private keys or passwords.

Nexus Shell runs on macOS 14.2+ with Apple Silicon. The free tier covers core SSH use, while Pro is a one-time purchase with lifetime access and future updates; connection data and private keys stay encrypted on the user’s Mac.
