Stassh is a local-first SSH command deck for your terminal. Manage hosts, check reachability, verify host keys, and jump into live SSH sessions from one TUI.

Features

Keyboard-First Control

Manage your SSH workflow from a fast terminal UI built for quick navigation, host selection, and session launching without leaving the keyboard.

All Hosts In One Place

Keep your infrastructure organized in a single command deck where you can browse, select, and connect to hosts from one interface.

Instant Reachability Checks

See whether a host is unknown, reachable, or unreachable before connecting so you can act faster and avoid wasted SSH attempts.

Built-In Live SSH Sessions

Launch interactive SSH sessions directly inside the app, reducing context switching and keeping your workflow focused.

Safer Host Verification

Review host key fingerprints and trust prompts before connecting so you can verify identity instead of blindly accepting new hosts.

Local-First Workflow

Run everything locally with a responsive TUI experience that keeps host management close to your terminal and under your control.

Security

Encrypted Local Data

Protect stored data with optional local database encryption backed by SQLite + SQLCipher.

Host Key Fingerprint Checks

Verify server identities through fingerprint prompts to help prevent connecting to the wrong machine or accepting spoofed hosts.

User-Controlled Trust

Decide when to trust a host and when to reject it, giving you explicit control over connection safety instead of hidden automation.
