Forget ~/.ssh/config.Every server, one window.
Portside is the SSH client for Mac built for devs and sysadmins who run fleets of servers: group configs by project, start a port forward in one click, and drag files between servers — no scp required.

01
Every server, one sidebar
Import straight from ~/.ssh/config on first launch. From then on, hosts, users, keys and jump hosts live in one searchable sidebar — edited in a form, not in vim.
02
Group by project and environment
Fold servers into groups — staging, production, client A — with shared config: same key, same jump host, same tab color, so you never type into production by mistake.
03
Port forwarding you can see
Every running tunnel in one table: local port, remote port, status. Start, stop, save as a preset — no more remembering -L and -R syntax.
04
Drag and drop instead of scp
Drag files and folders from Finder onto a server — or from one server to another — right in the terminal window. Portside handles the route, jump hosts included.
Move files like they're local
Open two servers side by side and drag a folder across — Portside streams it server-to-server over SSH, resumes on flaky connections, and never bounces the data through your laptop unless it has to. scp stays in the manual.
“I manage forty-odd boxes across three clients. Portside replaced a 400-line ssh config and a folder of tunnel scripts on day one.”
$9. Lifetime access. First crew only.
This is the first release, and the people who back it now matter most. Founding members pay $9 once and keep lifetime access — every future version included, price never revisited. Your existing ~/.ssh/config imports in one step, untouched.
