What is purple?
Purple is a terminal cockpit for managing servers that provides search, SSH connections, file transfers, container management, and multi-host command execution. It syncs server data from 16 cloud providers and directly edits the SSH config file, centralizing operations that typically require multiple separate tools.
System administrators, DevOps engineers, and developers who manage multiple servers across different cloud providers and need a unified, keyboard-driven interface for daily operations.
Developers choose Purple because it consolidates fragmented server management tasks into a single tool, preserves existing SSH configurations without extra setup, and offers powerful features like multi-cloud sync and container management over SSH—all as a free, open-source Rust binary.
