Managing Machines

The Machines tab is your dashboard for all the servers and computers you connect to.

Click the + button in the Machines tab, then fill in:

  • Name — A friendly label shown throughout the app (e.g., “Mac Studio”, “Dev Server”)
  • Address — IP address or hostname (e.g., 192.168.1.10 or myserver.example.com)
  • Port — Default is 22; change only if your server uses a non-standard port
  • Username — Your login name on that machine
  • SSH Key — Select a key you’ve added, or add one first in Settings → SSH Keys

Click Test Connection before saving to confirm everything is correct.

The Machines tab shows at a glance:

  • Online / Offline — Whether the machine is reachable
  • Active sessions — Any running Claude Code sessions
  • Last seen — When Sunflare last successfully connected

Click the machine name to open its detail view, then click Edit.

Right-click a machine in the list and choose Delete. This removes the connection config from Sunflare but does not affect the server itself or your SSH keys.

Machines can be reordered by dragging. Group your machines however makes sense — by project, by client, by location.

If your machines are behind a bastion host or jump server, configure the jump host in the machine’s Advanced settings. Sunflare will tunnel through it transparently.
