Termique vs iTerm2
Termique vs iTerm2:
which SSH client is right for you?
iTerm2 is a great terminal emulator - but it's just a terminal. You still need a separate password manager, a spreadsheet of IPs, and a lot of copy-pasting. Termique replaces that whole stack with one app.

Key differences
iTerm2 is a terminal. Termique is an SSH manager.
iTerm2 does one thing well: render a terminal. Everything else - finding the right host, pasting credentials, switching sessions - is your problem. Termique handles the whole workflow.
macOS only vs cross-platform
If your team spans macOS and Linux, iTerm2 leaves half the team without a solution. Termique runs natively on macOS, Windows, and Linux - same experience everywhere.
No credential storage means clipboard exposure
With iTerm2, credentials live in your password manager and pass through your clipboard on every connection. Termique encrypts them end-to-end with AES-GCM - the server never sees plaintext. Connect in one click, clipboard never involved.
