Xell
A calm, open-source SSH workspace built for developers who value focus, speed, and native platform quality.
License Flutter Platform
What it is
Xell is an open-source SSH workspace on its way to becoming a full DevOps toolkit. It provides:
- Host management — store and organize your SSH hosts locally
- Integrated terminal — full xterm-compatible sessions via
dartssh2 - SFTP browser — browse, upload, download, rename, and delete remote files
- Local port forwarding — tunnel remote ports to localhost
- Command palette — keyboard-first host search and navigation (
⌘K/Ctrl+K) - Secure credentials — passwords and passphrases stored in the system keychain, never in plain text
- Local-first — no accounts, no cloud sync, no telemetry
Inspired by Linear, Raycast, Ghostty, and Warp.
Roadmap (post-MVP)
- Docker container management
- Kubernetes cluster access
- AI-assisted terminal workflows
- Plugin / extension system

Installation
One-line install (macOS and Linux)
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ildysilva/xell/main/install.sh | bash
Or pin to a specific version:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ildysilva/xell/main/install.sh | bash -s -- --version v0.1.0
macOS — installs to /Applications/Xell.app. Removes the Gatekeeper quarantine flag automatically so the app opens without friction (even when unsigned during early releases).
Linux — installs the full bundle to ~/.local/share/xell/ and links the binary to ~/.local/bin/xell.
