Hello, can you tell me which applications you use to store data about connections to hosts? I'm using xpipe now, but I haven't found anything like it in my search for alternatives.

Hi @lean mirage. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Based on the knowledge sources provided, Warp currently does not have a built-in feature for storing and managing SSH host connection data. This is actually a frequently requested feature from Warp users.

Many users have asked for functionality similar to what's available in other applications like Termius, Royal TSX, or iTerm2's profiles - where you can save SSH connection details (hostnames, usernames, passwords, keys) and organize them for quick access.

There are several GitHub issues tracking this request:

As workarounds, Warp team members have suggested:

  1. Using Launch Configurations to set up SSH connections, though this requires manual setup in a YAML file
  2. Configuring your SSH connections in the ~/.ssh/config file, which Warp will use for completions

However, these don't provide the full functionality of a dedicated SSH connection manager with a graphical interface.

The Warp team appears to be aware of the importance of this feature, with some recent comments suggesting they'll be "working on further SSH improvements soon," but there's no specific timeline for implementation yet.

If you're specifically looking for alternatives to xpipe for managing SSH connections, you might want to look at the applications mentioned in the knowledge sources like Termius, Royal TSX, or iTerm2 (with profiles), though this goes beyond what Warp currently offers.

I hope this helps clarify Warp's current capabilities regarding host connection management!

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
