Purple: Terminal SSH Client for macOS and Linux (getpurple.sh)

Purple is a free, open-source terminal SSH client for macOS and Linux that aims to consolidate common server tasks—finding hosts, running commands on multiple machines, transferring files, and managing Docker/Podman containers—into one interface. The article describes syncing server lists from multiple cloud providers, handling credentials via local password managers, and optionally exposing host access to AI agents through an MCP server. It also notes that Purple won’t send the user’s SSH config off the machine and is delivered as a single binary.
