Launches the ssh binary already on your machine. No proprietary runtime, no hidden host database.
Reads ~/.ssh/config and Include files. Adds one managed Include. Your config stays authoritative.
Add OpenSSH host blocks or edit metadata for hosts you manage elsewhere.
Pick detected keys, ssh-agent defaults, or a manual path when adding or editing a host.
Groups, tags, environment, notes, and hex color labels. Search and sort across all of it.
Generate, import, and export native SSH keys locally. Verify pairs and change passphrases.
Bast collects basic anonymous telemetry to help improve the tool. Opt out with BAST_NO_TELEMETRY=1.
