Description
Finally Secure ShellFish is available on the Mac bringing seamless access to SSH servers to your most used computer.
Server files are available in the ShellFish location of the Finder and available as part of the filesystem anywhere on the Mac.
First class tmux support is particularly useful on the Mac. Never worry about losing the network connection and handoff sessions between iPhone, iPad and Mac. It feels like magic.

Servers are synced between iPhone, iPad and Mac using iCloud Keychain for ideal convenience and security.
The rich Shortcuts support has also been brought to the Mac making it easy to work with files on your servers from shortcuts.
Secure ShellFish is useful as a free app and paying pro users can disable ads in the terminal, upload through the Finder and configure unlimited number of servers. You payment is shared between Mac, iPhone and iPad.

Ratings and Reviews
Secure ShellFish
Secure ShellFish is the best ssh client on the ipad. On the Mac it works very well and provides lots of very useful features compared to using the plain terminal.
Not as good as I hoped
This is nice and functional software, but it has its shortcomings. Quite often it does not update the server content and it displays the cached one instead. There is no way to force it update the displayed directory, nor the option to unmount volumes which appear as permanent one-click bookmarks on Finder's sidebar.
Developer Response ,
Sorry to hear this isn't working better for you. I would love to try and improve if I had a bit more information. Do you see any (!) icons on folders that show old cached content?
If you email me at anders@secureshellfish.app I will investigate and find out why things are not working better and make improvements.
You can toggle the Finder Location switch inside the main app for individual servers. The system doesn't see ShellFish as something it mounted, so there is no way shortcut to unmount.
Perfect shell app
Very happy with it after a couple of years of use: persistent connection with tmux, iOS shortcuts and files integration, snippets… it replaced both Transmit and Prompt for me!
