Termius
Termius is a Mac SSH client and terminal app for connecting to remote servers, transferring files, and managing command-line sessions.
What is Termius?
Termius is a native macOS developer tool for connecting to remote systems over SSH and related protocols from one place. It helps developers, system administrators, DevOps engineers, and other technical users manage servers, network devices, and shell-based workflows without relying on a basic terminal alone. Common use cases include opening secure remote sessions, organizing saved hosts, transferring files with SFTP, and forwarding ports for remote services. The app also supports multiple simultaneous sessions, making it useful when working across several machines at once. Termius Corporation offers the app across desktop and mobile platforms, which can be helpful for users who want their connection details and workflows available on more than one device.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Termius is legitimate remote access software, and it may handle sensitive information such as host addresses, usernames, keys, connection history, and transferred files as part of its normal purpose. Network access and access to local key material are expected for an SSH client. Use it carefully on systems you trust, protect any saved credentials with a strong device password, and review sync or account features if you do not want connection data shared across devices.
Recommendation: Keep Termius if you use SSH, SFTP, or remote shell access on your Mac. Remove it if you no longer manage remote systems or prefer another terminal client; doing so may also remove saved hosts, local settings, and related remote access workflows.
