About EasySSH
EasySSH is a small Linux app for keeping track of the servers you connect to over SSH. Instead of remembering hostnames or editing ~/.ssh/config by hand, you save connections, sort them into groups and open them in the app's own customisable terminal, including several sessions to the same host. It can sync with your existing ~/.ssh/config, reopen the hosts you had open last time, and lock saved data behind a password. It was built for elementary OS and is installed mainly from Flathub, so it suits Linux users who manage a handful of servers and want something simpler than a full terminal suite. It is free software under the GPL-3.0 licence; the developer has said on GitHub that the project is looking for maintainers. It has no cloud sync, mobile app, team sharing or SFTP file browsing, which is where commercial tools such as Termius differ.
Best for: Linux users who want a simple, free GUI to store and open SSH connections.
