Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

SCPilot does the few things you do every day with a server – and does them simply.

Two panes, one glance

Local files on the left, the server on the right. Drag and drop, or press F5 to copy the selection across.

Your SSH config, imported

Pick the hosts from ~/.ssh/config and SCPilot takes over address, user, port and key.

Terminal included

Open a shell on the server with one click – in the built-in terminal, Terminal or iTerm2.

Edit right on the server

Double-click a file, edit it in your favourite editor, and it's uploaded every time you save.

Sync with a preview

Compare a local and a remote folder, see exactly what changes, then synchronize.

Safe by design

Passwords and keys stay in your Keychain. Server fingerprints are checked, and interrupted transfers resume.

One price. Forever.

No subscription, no in-app purchases, no pro version.

Frequently asked questions

Which Mac do I need?

macOS 15 Sequoia or later, on Macs with Apple silicon or Intel.

Which servers work?

Every server with SSH and SFTP – practically every Linux server, web host, NAS and Raspberry Pi.

Why does SCPilot ask for access to my home folder?

Mac App Store apps only see the folders you choose. Choose your home folder once so SCPilot can show your files and read ~/.ssh.

Does SCPilot collect any data?

No. Everything stays on your Mac. See the privacy policy.
