Terminal Champion SSH

The sandboxed SSH-focused edition. Buy once on the Mac App Store, run on every Mac you own.

Terminal Champion SSH is the App-Store-distributed sibling of Terminal Champion. It strips the focus down to one job — managing SSH sessions — and ships inside Apple's macOS sandbox for customers who want everything to come from a single trusted source. Saved credentials live in your macOS Keychain. No local shells, no Docker, no externally signed binaries to approve. Drop it on a fresh Mac and you're connected to your remote box in under a minute.

$2.99
One-time purchase. Works on every Mac signed in to your Apple ID.

What you get

Managed SSH connections

russh-backed transport with TOFU known_hosts. Connect to anything sshd-compatible — bare metal, jump hosts, container ssh-servers — without leaving the app.

Saved credentials in Keychain

Passwords and private-key passphrases stored in macOS Keychain. Re-auth is FaceID/password-protected. Never leaves your device.

Pinned + Recent hosts

One-click reconnect to anywhere you've been. Pin the ones you live in; the rest age out automatically.

Image paste over SSH

Copy a screenshot, switch tab, ⌘V — the image streams through the SSH exec channel to /tmp/tc-images/ on the remote. No scp, no setup.

Port forwarding

Local-to-remote (-L) and remote-to-local (-R) forwards configured per tab, on the fly, with no terminal commands.

Three skins ship together

Default top tab bar, vertical browser-style sidebar, full 1992 Windows-3.1 retro chrome. All ship in one binary — switch per workspace.

Visual modes

Bubblegum Princess, Neon City, Coding Cowboy, JARVIS HUD, Wood, Marble. Per-tab or per-group, with the right border art and ANSI rewrites baked in.

Seven languages

English, Spanish, French, Russian, Korean, Chinese, Arabic (with full RTL). Set per-app or follow system locale.

Terminal Champion SSH vs. full Terminal Champion

Both apps come from the same team, share most of the code, and serve different needs. Pick what fits your workflow:

Price
$2.99 one-time (MAS)
$2.99 one-time (per platform)

If your work is mostly remote — managing servers, running agents on remote dev boxes, jumping between cloud instances — Terminal Champion SSH is the lower-overhead choice. If you also live in local terminals or Docker containers, get the full Terminal Champion.

Privacy and data

Terminal Champion SSH runs entirely on your Mac, inside Apple's macOS App Sandbox. Zero telemetry, zero analytics, no external servers operated by us. The only outbound network connections are the SSH connections you explicitly initiate. Credentials live in your sandboxed container at ~/Library/Containers/com.terminalconductor.ssh/ (the bundle identifier is unchanged from earlier releases for App Store update continuity). See the Privacy Policy for the full breakdown.

Naming note

This product was previously called Terminal Conductor SSH. It was renamed to Terminal Champion SSH in May 2026 to avoid confusion with a similarly named existing product. Same app, same Camis AI LLC team, same bundle identifier — your purchase carries over automatically if you already owned it under the old name.
