About:
SSH Config Editor is a native macOS GUI application designed to simplify the management of the OpenSSH client configuration file (~/.ssh/config). It provides an intuitive interface for creating, editing, and organizing SSH host entries, eliminating the need for manual text editing. The tool helps prevent syntax errors and makes complex SSH configurations more accessible and manageable.
Key Features:
  • Graphical user interface for editing ~/.ssh/config
  • Syntax validation to prevent configuration errors
  • Support for managing multiple SSH host entries and settings
  • Native macOS application with a clean, modern design
Use Cases:
  • Managing SSH connections for multiple servers and services
  • Simplifying SSH configuration for developers and system administrators
  • Avoiding syntax errors when editing ssh_config manually
Alternatives:
  • Termius – Termius is a full-featured SSH client with sync, while SSH Config Editor focuses purely on config file management
  • Text Editor (CLI/GUI) – Manual editing with vim/nano or TextEdit lacks validation and GUI convenience
