About purple

An open-source terminal SSH manager for macOS and Linux that keeps in sync with your cloud infra. Spin up a VM on AWS, GCP, Azure, Hetzner, Proxmox or 11 other cloud providers and it shows up in your host list. Destroy it and the entry dims. No more hand-editing after every Terraform run, no more grepping cloud consoles for the right IP. A fast Rust TUI with fuzzy search across hundreds of hosts, file transfer, Docker and Podman over SSH, multi-host SSH key push, short-lived HashiCorp Vault SSH certificates and an MCP server for AI agents. Keyboard-driven. Single binary. MIT licensed. Install brew, cargo, nix, AUR or from source brew install erickochen/purple/p
