OliTerm is a native macOS terminal built around SSH: named host
favorites, a snippet library, a file browser that follows your session, an AI
command assistant, and credential fill — all in native tabbed windows.
Connections run the system ssh and scp, so your
~/.ssh/config, keys, ssh‑agent, and ProxyJump setup work exactly
as they do in any other terminal.
