TuxShell 1.4.0: now on macOS (beta)

TuxShell runs on macOS too: one app for Apple silicon and Intel Macs.

macOS (beta)

  • One universal app (TuxShell-1.4.0-universal.dmg) for Apple silicon and Intel, macOS 12 or
    newer. It uses the ssh that comes with macOS, so your ~/.ssh/config, keys and agents work.
  • Feels like a Mac app: macOS's own close, minimize and zoom buttons, a standard menu bar, and
    shortcuts on ⌘: ⌘K quick connect, ⇧⌘L hosts, ⌘C / ⌘V copy and paste in the terminal. Ctrl
    stays with the terminal, so Ctrl+C still interrupts.
  • Keychain for saved passwords; your data lives in ~/Library/Application Support/TuxShell.
  • 1Password references and the 1Password SSH agent work as on Linux, and tools from Homebrew
    (op, sdl-freerdp) are found.

This is the first macOS version, so it's marked beta. Please report anything that doesn't work.

Install on macOS

  1. Download TuxShell-1.4.0-universal.dmg, open it and drag TuxShell to Applications.
  2. The app isn't notarized by Apple yet, so the first start is blocked. Open it once, then go to
    System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. Or, in Terminal:
    xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/TuxShell.app

  1. Optional, with Homebrew: brew install freerdp for remote desktops in their own window.

Linux

  • Preferences now shows the real settings and recordings folders.
  • Everything else works as in 1.3.0.

Fedora, RHEL, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux:

sudo dnf install ./tuxshell-1.4.0-1.x86_64.rpm

Debian 13+, Ubuntu 24.04+:

sudo apt install ./tuxshell_1.4.0-1_amd64.deb

Any distribution:

chmod +x TuxShell-1.4.0-x86_64.AppImage
./TuxShell-1.4.0-x86_64.AppImage
