Shuttle overview

Shuttle is a simple SSH shortcut menu for OS X. It does exactly what you see and nothing more.

What terminal programs are supported? By default, it uses Terminal.app. To switch it to iTerm2, edit ~/.shuttle.json and change the "Terminal Application" value.

Why is the config a JSON file? Keep your config in Dropbox or under version control (preferrably private) and you can have it synced across multiple computers. Also, it makes it easy to generate a dynamic list of hosts from your hosting provider (if they have an API), so you're always up-to-date.

Just needed a way to quickly connect to my servers via ssh, using keyfiles. Trying to remember server addresses and usernames can become a chore, when you have to manage dozens of servers. Neither the built-in Terminal app nor iTerm allow you to save remote connection details (not when using RSA keyfiles). Other apps were too complex, too expensive, and did not allow me to connect using my preferred terminal settings. Shuttle's set of features is absolutely PERFECT for my use-case: it allows me to store my connection details, organise them into a neat little menu, and even trigger specific terminal settings for different servers. Cannot ask for much more!

Version 1.1 appears to NOT generate the necessary pref file (.shuttle.json) if it's the first time you've used the app. Had to go to previous releases page (listed in comment below), download version 1.0.1 (which generated the pref file) and then go back to version 1.1.

"It does exactly what you see and nothing more. " - Unfortunately it's hard to see what it does, and the animations on the dev's web page go too quickly to understand. Then there's the JSON config; I don't speak JSON, and do not look forward to learning YAL. I just want to ssh in to my 2 NASs for some maintenance and run local search scripts I wrote. Gave it a miss, pending better description.
