About SSHive
SSHive is a Mac app that brings SSH, SFTP, FTP/FTPS, RDP, VNC, Telnet and serial console sessions together in one window, designed as a MobaXterm alternative for macOS. Saved servers live in a sidebar with folders, favorites and recent connections. The SSH terminal has tabs, split panes, snippets and broadcast to several servers, with a CPU, RAM and uptime bar for Linux and macOS servers. An SFTP browser opens next to the terminal, alongside a dual-pane file manager with drag and drop, resumable uploads and a remote editor. It handles local, remote and SOCKS5 tunnels, jump hosts, and SSH agents such as 1Password, Strongbox, Secretive or Bitwarden. Windows Remote Desktop and VNC sessions open in tabs. Network tools, an OTP authenticator and an optional MCP server for AI assistants are built in. No account and no telemetry; passwords are encrypted with the macOS Keychain. Free on the Mac App Store with a one-time Pro purchase, and also available on iPhone and iPad.

Noden
Noden is a native macOS client (SwiftUI, no Electron) that brings SSH, SFTP, a Windows RDP desktop and serial console into one window, side by side. Run a multi-session terminal in a resizable grid with broadcast input, transfer files with a dual-pane SFTP manager, open RDP rendered with Metal, and reach switches and routers over serial. The Touch ID password vault keeps passwords, SSH keys, API tokens and TOTP/2FA codes in the macOS Keychain, never on external servers, with a browser extension for Safari, Chrome and Firefox that fills website logins and 2FA codes. Import your vault from 1Password, Bitwarden, LastPass or Chrome. Noden also connects to legacy switches and routers that other Mac clients refuse, and adds an approve-first AI command assistant. Free for up to 5 connections; Pro is $5.99 the first year, then $10.99 per year. Requires macOS 13 or later.
