## What it is
Shuttle is a macOS menu bar application that provides a simple shortcut menu for launching SSH connections and running commands. Menu items and actions are configured via a ~/.shuttle.json file.

## Use cases
- quickly ssh into servers from a mac menu bar
- launch terminal commands with one click
- manage a list of ssh hosts in a shortcut menu
- avoid typing ssh commands repeatedly
- organize server connections in a dropdown menu

## When to choose
- you use macOS and connect to many SSH hosts regularly
- you want a lightweight, JSON-configured SSH launcher in the menu bar

## When to avoid
- you need cloud provider API integration to auto-discover servers
- you want keyboard hotkeys or a preferences GUI
- you need an actively developed project with recent releases
