I've been using Termius for a few years for an SSH client. Have have a lot of self-hosted servers both in my home lab and on VPSs. I'm looking to cut some costs since it's $120/year and really the main thing I use it for is syncing my SSH accounts and credentials between a laptop, a desktop, and my Android phone. So I'm looking for a new method to sync these things.

I'd prefer a single application, but I'd settle for a good, secure way to sync the credentials and recommendations for applications on Fedora and Android.

Edit: I'm OK with a one time payment application, but prefer open source or a solution I can self-host the sync server. And I don't want a subscription.

If I’m traveling or I wipe my device or get a new one, I would have to add the new key to many servers as authorized keys,

So, I don't want to get into a huge argument over the best way to deal with things, since everyone has their own use cases, but if that's your only concern, you have a list of hosts that you want to put the key on, and you still have a key for another device, that shouldn't be terribly difficult. Generate your new keypair for your new device. Then on a Linux machine, something like:

$ cat username-host-pairs.txt
me@host1
me@host2
me@host3
$ cat username-host-pairs.txt|xargs -n1 ssh-copy-id -i new-device-key-file-id_ed25519.pub

That should use your other device's private key to authenticate to the servers in question and copy the new device's pubkey to the accounts on the host in question. Won't need password access enabled.
