purple is an open-source terminal SSH manager designed for macOS and Linux, simplifying SSH configurations and management across various cloud providers. It automatically synchronizes the user's SSH config with cloud infrastructure, allowing for seamless VM creation and destruction without manual edits to the SSH config file. Users can connect to multiple cloud services such as AWS, GCP, and Azure, all from a single interface. The program offers features like fuzzy search, multi-host SSH key management, and live monitoring of SSH tunnels, making it a robust tool for developers and system administrators.

This application is built in Rust and operates as a single binary, ensuring a lightweight and efficient experience. Users can manage Docker and Podman containers directly through SSH and execute commands across multiple hosts simultaneously. With a focus on privacy, purple does not require a database or account, reading directly from the user's SSH config file. Its extensive feature set, including automatic password retrieval and visual file transfer, positions purple as a powerful solution for those managing cloud infrastructure.
