Manage SSH servers directly from your terminal with a clean TUI interface. Search, connect, and organize hosts from your SSH config without memorizing addresses.

lazyssh is a terminal-based SSH manager that brings the efficiency of tools like lazydocker and k9s to server management. Instead of remembering IP addresses or typing lengthy SSH commands, you get a keyboard-driven interface that lets you navigate, connect, and manage all your servers from one place.

Core capabilities include:

  • Server Discovery & Management - Read servers from your ~/.ssh/config, add new entries, edit existing ones, and delete safely with a tabbed configuration interface
  • Quick Navigation - Fuzzy search by alias, IP, or tags; jump into any server with a single keypress; pin favorites to keep them at the top
  • Advanced SSH Configuration - Port forwarding, connection multiplexing, proxy settings, authentication options, and security parameters all organized in an intuitive tabbed layout
  • Server Organization - Tag servers (prod, dev, staging, etc.), sort by name or last connection time, and ping servers to check connectivity
  • SSH Key Management - Automatic detection and autocomplete of available SSH keys with smart selection support

Security is built in - lazyssh acts as a UI wrapper around your existing SSH config without storing credentials or private keys. It creates automatic backups before making changes and preserves your existing comments and formatting through non-destructive edits.

Ideal for system administrators and developers managing multiple servers, lazyssh eliminates the friction of remembering hostnames and typing complex commands, letting you focus on actual server management work.
