Termius
Termius is a macOS SSH client and terminal app for connecting to remote servers, managing sessions, and transferring files over secure protocols.
What is Termius?
Termius is a developer tool for macOS that helps you connect to remote systems from a graphical SSH client and terminal app. It is designed for developers, system administrators, and other technical users who manage servers, network devices, and command-line environments. Common tasks include opening SSH sessions, organizing saved hosts, using port forwarding, and transferring files with SFTP. Termius also supports Mosh and Telnet, which can be useful in mixed environments or when working over unstable connections. The app is available across multiple platforms, and many users rely on it to keep connection details and remote access workflows organized between desktop and mobile devices. Published by Termius, it is primarily used as a modern remote access and terminal workspace rather than as a general local shell replacement.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Termius is legitimate remote access software, and network access plus stored connection details are normal for its purpose. Because it can hold server addresses, usernames, keys, and other sensitive connection data, you should protect the app with your usual account security practices and review what you choose to sync between devices. If you use saved credentials or imported keys, make sure they are only kept on devices you trust.
Recommendation: Keep Termius if you use it to manage servers or remote shells from your Mac. If you no longer use it, you can remove the app, but export or back up any connection details and keys you still need first.
