ما الوظائف التي تتمنون جمعها في تطبيق الطرفية الذي تستخدمونه كل يوم؟ تجربة بناء xtty لنظام macOS
مرحبًا، أنا مطوّر xtty . أستخدم الطرفية يوميًا في البرمجة والعمل على الخوادم، وكنت أجد نفسي أكرر خطوات صغيرة كلما انتقلت بين اتصالات SSH أو احتجت إلى جلسة ثانية. بعض الأدوات الموجودة تنفّذ جزءًا مما أحتاجه، لكنني أردت أن تجتمع سير العمل التي أستخدمها باستمرار في مكان واحد، من دون إعداد طويل كل مرة. بنيت xtty كتطبيق طرفية أصلي لنظام macOS . الفكرة ليست إضافة أكبر عدد ممكن من الخصائص، بل أن تكون…
A developer <source 12f9bd2e-b7b> named the application xtty, which functions as a terminal application specifically for macOS. The purpose of xtty is to bring together the most frequently used daily features, eliminating the need for repetitive setup each time. It is an original terminal application for macOS, with features designed to be readily available when needed, rather than adding an overwhelming number of capabilities.
The functionality demonstrated in practical situations includes opening multiple preserved SSH connections simultaneously, including those utilizing jump hosts, establishing an independent SSH connection with the same server and remote directory through Duplicate Tab without duplicating the ongoing process or replacing tools like tmux.
It organizes sessions within tabs and panes, and directs input to user-defined panes. Password requirements are filled using credentials from macOS Keychain. Remote file transfers are executed using rz and sz with the original macOS dialogs. Following session statuses of Claude Code and Codex to monitor active, ended, or attention-required sessions.
The simplicity of components like hosts, tabs, panes, input groups, file transfers, and status indicators allows users to customize the application according to their needs.
Currently, xtty is available for macOS 15 or newer, with versions for Apple Silicon and Intel processors. The free version permits local terminal usage and existing SSH connections. Paid features such as preserved sessions, one-click opening, Duplicate Tab, password auto-fill, and automatic file transfer are available through a one-time payment of $29.90 for a lifetime license.
A seven-day trial period is provided without a subscription. A video showcasing the real-time application interface with sample data can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkQMSY82Ow8. For those using macOS in development or system administration, the reporter asks, what small steps do you repetitively perform daily in the terminal, and what functions would you like to work seamlessly together without additional setup? The reporter welcomes critical feedback.
