Built for: “pin frequently used SSH commands in the macOS menu bar”
SSH shortcuts with a terminal attached
Put recurring SSH commands in the menu bar
Save the host, flags, tunnel, and local project context once. Start the connection from Shell Click and return to the same terminal whenever it needs input or inspection.
~/Code/admin
ssh -N -L 5433:localhost:5432 dev@server ~
ssh dev@server ~
ssh -N -D 1080 dev@server The problem
The useful SSH command is always longer than the one you remember
Port forwards, jump hosts, identity files, and keepalive options turn a recurring connection into something you search through history or documentation every time.
The Shell Click answer
Name the connection and keep its session visible
Shell Click saves the complete command and launches it in a persistent interactive terminal. Long-running tunnels stay attached to their own sessions instead of hiding behind an opaque background action.
What stays attached
The command, its context, and its terminal
Full command preserved
Keep flags, hosts, and port mappings together under a recognizable name.
Interactive authentication
Use the attached terminal when SSH needs a passphrase, confirmation, or other input.
Explicit stop control
Interrupt or terminate the foreground connection from the saved command card.
Why it fits
Built for commands that stay running
Inspect connection output, answer a passphrase prompt, send Control-C, or stop the process without finding the Terminal window where the tunnel began.
Shell Click for macOS
The tunnel you need, without the history search.
Open the menu-bar popover, start the saved SSH command, and keep the session close at hand.
