Using Termy

SSH hosts

Save remote hosts and open them in native Termy tabs.

Open Settings → SSH to add, edit, or delete a host. Each host keeps a display name, hostname, port, username, and either an SSH key path or password authentication.

After saving a host, open the new-tab menu and choose it under SSH Hosts. Termy launches your system OpenSSH client in a normal terminal tab, so connection and authentication messages remain visible there.

Credentials

Leave the password or private-key passphrase blank to enter it interactively when OpenSSH asks. If you enter one in Settings, Termy stores it in the system Keychain and never in ssh_hosts.json, process arguments, logs, or the shell command line.

Termy stores only an identity-file path, not a copy of your private key.

Host verification

OpenSSH still manages host fingerprints and known_hosts. Termy does not disable strict host-key checks. Review the fingerprint before accepting a new host, and treat a changed-host-key warning as a security error.
