eSHELLY
Simple SSH & Telnet client for macOS
eSHELLY is a lightweight, no-frills SSH and Telnet client for macOS. Just enter a host and connect — like PuTTY, but native on Mac. No saved credentials, no subscriptions, completely free.
Free — no account required
⚠️ macOS — first launch
The app is not yet signed with an Apple certificate. After unzipping, run this command in Terminal:
Everything you need, nothing you don't
Clean, minimal, and fast.
SSH
Connect to any SSH server. Type your username and password directly in the terminal — just like PuTTY.
Telnet
Full Telnet support for legacy network equipment. Works with Cisco, Ubiquiti, MikroTik, and more.
No complexity
No saved hosts, no profiles, no accounts. Enter host and port, connect. That's it.
