ShuttleX

A modern SSH launcher for the macOS menu bar — pure arm64 (Apple Silicon), built with SwiftUI. Inspired by the original SSHMenu and by Shuttle.

ShuttleX lives in the menu bar and opens SSH connections in your terminal of choice with a single click. Hosts come from ~/.ssh/config or a JSON file, can be grouped, searched, imported from spreadsheets, and managed in-app.

Documentation

• Installation — download, Gatekeeper, building from source
• Server sources — ~/.ssh/config vs JSON, custom path, JSON format
• Managing servers — the in-app add/edit/delete editor
• Table import — CSV / Excel / Google Sheets → JSON
• Terminals & launch modes — terminal choice, window/tab/split
• Backups — automatic version history
• Troubleshooting — permissions, Gatekeeper, icon cache
• Roadmap — backlog and ideas
