Lazyssh
lazyssh is a keyboard-driven SSH connection manager and server browser designed for remote host administration. It provides a centralized interface to organize, filter, and launch secure shell sessions to multiple remote servers.
The tool features a fuzzy-search server browser that allows for rapid location of hosts by alias, IP address, or tags. It includes an integrated configuration editor for managing host entries and a session orchestrator that handles proxy jumps, port forwarding, and identity file assignments.
The system further automates connectivity through automatic identity file detection and asynchronous host probing to verify server availability. It supports advanced connection parameters including multiplexing and specific cryptographic algorithms, persisting all state within a configuration file.

Star history
How this analysis was created: This summary and feature list were written by an AI model that read the project's README and public documentation pages. Each feature links to the documentation it came from; stars, license and language come straight from the GitHub API. The model does not read the source code, and the analysis is refreshed when the project is re-analysed. Learn more on our About page.
