Show HN: ServerBuddy – GUI SSH client for managing Linux servers from macOS

Hi HN,

I've built an app for macOS that allows performing common SSH operations on Linux servers using a native GUI.

The problem:

Managing multiple Linux servers usually means juggling terminal windows and copy-pasting snippets/scripts. After dealing with tens of production/staging VPSes at previous jobs, I realized there had to be a better way for common operations I did on a daily basis than my collection of bash snippets.

Features:

- Quickly switch between different servers. Tag servers with arbitrary key values for easy search.

- Real-time dashboard with CPU/memory graphs, disk usage, and uptime.

- Table based interface for processes (sortable/filterable), Docker containers, systemd services, network ports, and system logs etc.

- Built-in file browser.

- Full-featured terminal when you need to drop to the command line.

You can check out the screenshots at https://serverbuddy.app/screenshots for a quick overview of the features supported.

All the above are done through SSH, there are no agents/scripts to install on your servers.

From using the app for a few weeks(admittedly a short duration), I can say I much prefer the ServerBuddy based workflow to my previous workflows.

Pricing:

Free forever for one server, $59 one-time for unlimited servers (includes 1 year of updates).

If you're a developer or sysadmin managing Linux servers from Mac, please do try out the app. I'd love your feedback regarding additional features/workflows etc.

Thank you!
