SSHBool — Open-source SSH & Server Management Workspace

SSHBool — Open-source SSH & Server Management Workspace

Project Name:
SSHBool

Repo/Website:
GitHub: https://github.com/omarsenusi/sshbool
Website: https://ssh.devbool.com/

Description:

SSHBool is an open-source desktop application for managing remote servers from a single workspace.

I built it because I was using different tools for SSH, SFTP, terminal sessions, and basic server monitoring, and I wanted something that could bring these workflows together in one place.

The current beta includes:

  • SSH client
  • Multiple terminal sessions
  • SFTP / file manager
  • Multiple server connections
  • Server workspaces
  • CPU, memory, load, disk and network monitoring
  • Process management
  • System service management
  • Terminal + file management in the same workspace
  • Modern desktop UI

The application is currently local-first/offline. Server connections and application data are stored locally rather than requiring a cloud account.

It is built with Tauri and currently targets:

  • Windows
  • Linux
  • macOS

The macOS build is still being worked on for proper signing/distribution.

Deployment:

This is a desktop application, so there is no server-side deployment required.

Prebuilt releases are available through the project's GitHub releases.

The goal is to keep the application easy to install and use without requiring users to run a self-hosted backend.

AI Involvement:

AI was used during development for some coding assistance and debugging, but the project itself does not require AI and does not send server data or terminal sessions to an AI service.

I'd especially appreciate feedback from people who manage multiple Linux servers:

What is the one feature or workflow you currently have to use another tool for that you'd like to see in SSHBool?

Thanks! 🙏

SSHBool — Open-source SSH & Server Management Workspace

SSHBool — Open-source SSH & Server Management Workspace

I've been working with remote servers for years.

I started with PuTTY and FTP, then moved to Bitvise, which has been my main tool for quite a while.

Later, I tried Termius, and one thing I really liked was the Workspace concept — especially when working with a team and sharing servers and connections.

It made managing everything much easier.

But there were still a few things I wanted to have in the same workflow.

That's where the idea of SSHBool started.

About two years ago, we actually tried to build something similar and make it Open Source, but because of work and lack of time, we couldn't finish it.

Today, I'm happy to finally share the first Beta release of SSHBool. ❤️

What is SSHBool?

SSHBool is a desktop workspace for managing remote servers, built with Tauri.

It currently supports:

🪟 Windows
🐧 Linux
🍎 macOS

The macOS version still needs an Apple Developer account for proper signing and distribution, and hopefully we'll have that sorted out soon.

⚡ Key Features

🔹 Full SSH Client
Connect to and manage your servers from one place.

🔹 Professional Terminal
Work with multiple terminal sessions and servers at the same time.

🔹 SFTP & File Management
Upload, download, move, delete and manage remote files.

🔹 Multiple Servers
Keep all your servers and connections organized in one place.

🔹 Multiple Sessions
Work across different servers without constantly switching between applications.

🔹 Server Workspaces
Keep everything related to a server organized inside one workspace.

🔹 Terminal + File Manager
Manage your terminal and remote files from the same interface.

🔹 Modern Desktop UI
A clean and fast interface designed for developers and DevOps workflows.

🔮 What's coming next?

SSHBool is currently offline-first. Your connections and data stay on your local machine.

In the future, we plan to add:

• Cloud Sync
• Server Sharing
• Teams & Members
• Shared Workspaces
• More infrastructure management tools

And this is just the beginning.

SSHBool is still in Beta, so there are definitely bugs and things that need improvement. Development will continue based on real-world usage and community feedback.

If you'd like to contribute, report an issue, suggest a feature, or help improve the project, the source code is available on GitHub:

Would love to see people try it out. ❤️

I built an open-source SSH workspace for managing remote servers

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله 🤍

أنا دايمًا بتعامل مع السيرفرات، وطبعًا كانت بدايتي مع PuTTY وFTP، وبعدها ولحد دلوقتي كنت بستعمل Bitvise، وبصراحة كان ممتاز معايا إلى حد كبير.

بعد كده جربت Termius، وعجبتني جدًا فكرة الـ Workspace، خصوصًا إن أوقات بنشتغل كـ Team وبنحتاج نشارك السيرفرات والـConnections مع بعض.

الفكرة دي سهلت علينا حاجات كتير جدًا، بالإضافة للتصميم الـModern والـUI الجميل.

لكن في نفس الوقت، كان فيه حاجات كتير كنت محتاجها ومش موجودة بالشكل اللي يناسب طريقة شغلي.

ومن هنا بدأت فكرة SSHBool.

من حوالي سنتين حاولنا نعمل حاجة بالشكل ده وتكون Open Source، لكن بسبب ضغط الشغل وضيق الوقت مقدرناش نكملها.

النهارده الحمد لله قدرنا نطلع أول إصدار Beta من SSHBool 🚀

🚀 إيه هو SSHBool؟

SSHBool هو Desktop Workspace لإدارة الـRemote Servers، معمول باستخدام Tauri، وبيشتغل على:

• Windows
• Linux
• macOS

بالنسبة للـmacOS، لسه محتاجين حساب Apple Developer علشان نكمل عملية التوقيع والتوزيع بشكل رسمي، وإن شاء الله الموضوع يتحل قريب.

أهم مميزات SSHBool

🔹 SSH Client متكامل
الاتصال وإدارة السيرفرات من مكان واحد.

🔹 Terminal احترافي
فتح وإدارة أكثر من Session وسيرفر في نفس الوقت.

🔹 SFTP وإدارة الملفات
رفع وتحميل ونقل وحذف الملفات بسهولة.

🔹 إدارة عدة Servers
تنظيم كل السيرفرات والـConnections والوصول ليها بسرعة.

🔹 Multiple Sessions
اشتغل على أكتر من سيرفر في نفس الوقت بدون ما تتوه بين البرامج.

🔹 Server Workspace
Workspace واحد تجمع فيه الأدوات والاتصالات الخاصة بالسيرفر.

🔹 Terminal + File Manager
التعامل مع الـTerminal والملفات من نفس المكان.

🔹 واجهة حديثة وسريعة
تصميم مريح ومناسب للاستخدام اليومي للمطورين والـDevOps.

🔹 تنظيم الـConnections
الوصول للسيرفرات والـSessions بشكل أسرع وأسهل.

🔮 إيه اللي جاي؟

حاليًا SSHBool Offline، وكل البيانات والـConnections بتكون موجودة على جهازك.

لكن في المستقبل إن شاء الله هنضيف:

• Cloud Sync
• مشاركة الـServers
• Teams & Members
• مشاركة الـWorkspaces
• أدوات أكثر لإدارة الـInfrastructure

وطبعًا دي مجرد البداية.

البرنامج لسه Beta، فممكن تلاقي Bugs أو حاجات محتاجة تحسين، وإن شاء الله هيكون فيه تطوير مستمر.

ولو حد حابب يساهم في المشروع، أو عنده فكرة أو Feature شايف إنها مهمة، ياريت يشاركنا بيها.

🔗 GitHub:

مستني آراءكم وتجربتكم للبرنامج، وأي Feedback حتى لو نقد، هيفرق معانا جدًا.

وشكرًا لكل حد هياخد من وقته ويجربه ❤️

I built an open-source SSH workspace for managing remote servers

I've been working with remote servers for years.

I started with PuTTY and FTP, then moved to Bitvise, which has been my main tool for quite a while. Later I tried Termius and really liked the idea of having a workspace for managing servers and connections.

Especially when working with a team, having everything organized in one place makes a big difference.

But there were still a few things I wanted to have in the same workflow.

So I went back to an idea we had started about two years ago: building an open-source desktop application for managing remote infrastructure.

That project eventually became SSHBool.

It's currently in beta and built with Tauri, with support for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Current features

  • SSH connections
  • Multiple terminal sessions
  • SFTP and file management
  • Uploading and downloading files
  • Multiple servers and connections
  • Server workspaces
  • Terminal + file management in one interface
  • Modern desktop UI
  • Designed around everyday developer and DevOps workflows

For now, SSHBool works completely offline. Server credentials and connections are stored locally.

The plan is to eventually add cloud sync, teams, members, shared servers and shared workspaces.

It's still an early beta and there is plenty left to improve.
