Save connections, use terminal tabs, edit remote files and inspect Docker workloads. The website and Homebrew edition also offers an optional Agent Bridge for local MCP clients. Basic SSH is free for personal, non-commercial use; SFTP, Docker and monitoring require Pro or an eligible trial. ## Facts to check before publishing - Name: Nexus Shell.

Both screenshots visibly show v1.7.6 (build 66); they illustrate the file workflow and are not claimed to be new v1.7.7 captures or App Store screenshots. Keep that context with the images. The current website / Homebrew release is listed above. ![Nexus Shell v1.7.6 Files with the Mac on the left and one remote server on the right](https://nexusshell.app/assets/img/guides/winscp/w1200/dual-pane-sftp.webp) [Download dual-pane Files — original PNG, 2400 × 1550](https://nexusshell.app/assets/img/guides/winscp/dual-pane-sftp-efd71d7f.png). The two panes show the Mac and one remote server, not two remote servers. ![Nexus Shell v1.7.6 remote file menu with Edit Externally and Open With actions](https://nexusshell.app/assets/img/guides/remote-editing/w1200/open-external-editor.webp) [Download external editor menu — original PNG, 2400 × 1550](https://nexusshell.app/assets/img/guides/remote-editing/open-external-editor-ec76f938.png). Editing and write-back depend on server permissions and the edition's transfer engine. [Download app icon — PNG, 512 × 512](https://nexusshell.app/assets/img/app-icon-macos.png).

It is not a recording of a live server session or evidence of benchmark results. The following text describes its scenes without requiring video playback: - Connections: saved servers and resource monitoring. - Terminal and AI: a terminal task with a suggested explanation for an error. Review commands before execution; AI results depend on the configured provider. - Files: a local/remote file workspace and a transfer queue. - SSH keys: key creation and fingerprint information. - Containers: Docker and Compose operations. - Session logs: searching and replaying session activity. - Network monitor: link measurements and trends. The film is an overview, not a promise that every feature is free or that every edition has the same capabilities. For a review, identify the edition and app version you actually tested. ## Three useful review tasks - A small server file change: connect to a non-critical server you control, edit a disposable file, and verify the result remotely. [SFTP editing walkthrough and write-back limits](https://nexusshell.app/en/guides/edit-remote-file-macos-sftp/). - An existing Docker service: inspect state and bounded logs before making a change. The SSH workflow does not need Docker Desktop on the Mac, but needs Docker access on the server. [Remote Docker walkthrough](https://nexusshell.app/en/guides/troubleshoot-remote-docker-from-mac/). - A local agent's first server task: use the website edition, enable Agent Bridge, approve the client, run a bounded check and inspect the visible result. Saved passwords/private keys are not returned by Bridge, but host information and command output reach the agent. [Agent Bridge workflow and boundaries](https://nexusshell.app/en/guides/claude-code-codex-ssh-without-sharing-keys/). For a fair comparison, use the same account permissions and task on each client. Nexus Shell does not provide terminal split panes, a WinSCP session importer or remote-to-remote dual-pane copying. Do not use customer systems, publish real credentials or describe a successful file copy as a security audit. ## Contact and download [Contact the developer](https://nexusshell.app/en/contact) for factual corrections or editorial questions.
