Versions:
wishlist is a lightweight open-source utility developed by charmbracelet that reimagines the traditional SSH known_hosts file as an interactive, human-readable directory. Instead of scrolling through plain text, users obtain a navigable, color-coded list of every host they have ever connected to, complete with connection metadata, last-access timestamps, and optional notes. The program parses the existing ~/.ssh/known_hosts and ~/.ssh/config files, indexes the entries, and presents them in a responsive terminal UI that can be searched, filtered, and edited without manual file tampering. Typical use cases include auditing historical connections before a security review, quickly re-establishing tunnels to rarely used servers, cleaning obsolete fingerprints after infrastructure changes, and sharing sanitized host lists among teammates. Because the tool only reads and writes standard SSH artifacts, it integrates transparently with any SSH client on Linux, macOS, or Windows and requires no daemon or elevated rights. Version 0.15.2, the seventh public release, introduces regexp-powered filtering, configurable column layouts, and a compact JSON export for downstream scripting, while retaining the minimalist keyboard-driven interface that distinguishes earlier builds. As a system-tuning and SSH-management accessory, wishlist occupies a narrow but convenient niche between bare-metal administration and developer productivity utilities. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
