02 / THE TOOLKIT
Less switching.
More getting things done.
From file editing to containers and network checks: explore the tools built into your server workspace.
Find it. Open it. Edit it.
Choose a file from the list and edit it beside your terminal. Browse and change files visually, without memorizing navigation or terminal-editor commands.
A terminal that fits your flow
Use your own OS SSH commands and config, or the built-in libssh2 engine. Keep your working directory in sync.
More than a shell
Connect to Windows over RDP or use VNC. View, control, capture, and resize a remote desktop.
Give your services a local port
Manage local, remote, and dynamic SOCKS tunnels. Keep them running in the background.
Know what’s happening
See CPU, memory, disks, network, and supported GPU metrics. Keep an eye on logs and resource warnings.
Your keys, under your control
Use Keychain-backed credentials or SSH agents including 1Password and Secretive. Manage real SSH key files too.
Files & editing
Everyday file work, with fewer commands to remember.
Transfers that keep moving
Upload and download with a concurrent queue, progress, pause, and resume. Keep track of transfers while you work.
Follow logs as they happen
Open a text file in a live tail view. Filter the output, pause it, or let new lines scroll into view.
Find what fills the disk
See folder sizes, percentages, and the largest items first. Drill into a folder or open a file from the results.
Edit protected files with sudo
When permissions block a remote file, open or save with sudo where supported. The editor keeps the file’s owner and mode when saving.
Preview, extract, and share
Preview images, extract supported archives with the server’s tools, or open a downloaded copy in another Mac app.
Your frequent files, one click away
Keep favorites and recent files for each server. Return to the configuration or folder you use most without retracing the path.
Server operations
See the state. Find the cause. Take the next step.
Docker and Podman, in view
Browse containers and images, inspect logs and resource use, and start or stop containers. Available when a supported engine is installed.
Manage systemd services
Search services by name and state. Start, stop, restart, reload, or change startup behavior with the server permissions you have.
Understand running processes
Sort processes by CPU or memory, inspect details, and send supported signals. Works with Linux, macOS, and this Mac.
Look beyond CPU and memory
On supported Linux hosts, inspect CPU temperature, I/O wait, disk throughput and IOPS, plus traffic for individual network interfaces.
Catch issues before the next session
Surface supported checks for disk pressure, account or password expiry, and a required reboot. Resource alerts help flag sustained load.
Wake, restart, or shut down
Save a MAC address for Wake-on-LAN. Restart or shut down a server after confirmation when your account has the required permissions.
Commands & automation
Repeat less. Keep your own workflow.
Reusable scripts, with inputs
Save commands with {{variables}}, fill in the values, then insert or run them in the terminal you choose.
One command, several servers
Select hosts or groups, run a command, and compare results per server. Revisit run history or retry failed targets.
AI help in the server’s context
Connect your configured AI service or supported CLI. Keep conversations per host and send suggested commands to its terminal.
Return to tmux or zellij
List sessions on the server, attach to one, or create a named session. Choose automatic tmux attachment for new terminals.
Git context beside your work
See the branch and changed-file counts in supported repositories. Reach common Git commands from the terminal toolbar.
Build a command from options
Prepare rsync transfers or chmod/chown commands using form controls. Review the generated command before copying, inserting, or running it.
Network & web tools
Check connectivity from the right point of view.
Check HTTP from here—or there
Send GET or HEAD requests from this Mac or over SSH from a server. Inspect status, timings, redirects, and response headers.
A network diagnostic toolkit
Use Ping, DNS lookup, TCP and UDP probes, Traceroute, Whois, a subnet calculator, and a port reference in dedicated tool tabs.
See what is listening
Inspect TCP and UDP listeners, addresses, processes, and whether they bind publicly or only to loopback. Search and filter the list.
Manage supported firewall rules
Inspect and manage ufw or firewalld rules on supported Linux servers. Changes require the appropriate server privileges.
Inspect certificates and domains
Read TLS certificate names, issuer, expiry, and fingerprint. Discover subdomains recorded in public Certificate Transparency logs.
Open web tools through SSH
Create a local tunnel and open a server’s web service in an app tab. Presets help you reach tools such as Grafana, Proxmox, or Portainer.
Connections, organization & security
Bring your setup with you. Keep each server in context.
Storage beyond SSH hosts
Browse SMB, WebDAV, S3-compatible storage, and SFTP connections. Mount supported SMB or WebDAV storage in Finder; SMB is unavailable in sandbox builds.
Manage real SSH files
Generate or import keys, edit SSH config host blocks, and review known hosts. A read-only mode helps you inspect without changing files.
Lock the workspace with Touch ID
Require Touch ID or your Mac password to unlock the app. Sessions, transfers, and tunnels can keep running behind the lock screen.
Connect through a jump host
Use ProxyJump and supported SSH-agent authentication for bastion-based connections. OS SSH mode can follow your existing SSH configuration.
Bring your host profiles
Import iTerm2 SSH profiles or import and export ServerDock connection profiles. Passwords and private keys are excluded from profile exports.
Find your next action with ⌘K
Search hosts, tabs, scripts, storage, and actions in the command palette. Organize hosts with groups and colors, or redact addresses for sharing your screen.
Feature availability depends on the server OS, installed tools, account permissions, and app distribution. AI features require your own configured service or supported CLI.
03 / NATIVE BY DESIGN
A good home for your servers.
Built around your Mac.
SwiftUI and AppKit, light and dark themes, native shortcuts, and a workspace designed for a keyboard and a pointer.
Explore the source ↗Credentials stay yours.
Connection passwords and managed private keys use macOS Keychain. Export server profiles without exporting passwords or private keys.

A FEW USEFUL DETAILS
Before you connect.
Do I need to be comfortable with the command line?
You can browse files and edit them through the interface without learning a terminal editor first. The terminal remains available beside the editor for tasks that need commands. Server access details and permissions are still required.
What do I need to run ServerDock?
macOS 14 Sonoma or later on an Apple Silicon Mac. Source builds require Xcode 16 or later and XcodeGen.
Does it support Korean?
Yes. English is the default. Choose 한국어 in Settings → General → Language and restart the app. Untranslated text falls back to English.
Can I use my existing SSH setup?
OS SSH mode runs your command through your login shell and honors your SSH configuration. The built-in engine is available for integrated connections. App Store sandbox builds use the built-in engine.
Is ServerDock open source?
The source is available on GitHub under PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0. It permits noncommercial use under its terms; it is not a permissive commercial-use license.
What’s included in a server export?
Connection profiles, groups, notes, and colors. Passwords and private keys are excluded. Notes and commands can still contain sensitive information, so store exports carefully.
