    This is great SSH 'insurance' against timeouts for important processes. I'm trying to use it on MacOS as well, but it's a little buggy. The protection against 'nesting' alden sessions doesn't seem to work on MacOS Terminal, and neither does the `--list` flag. I'm doing more testing now to see if the SSH timeout functionality works at all. If anyone has any advice on getting this to work on Apple Silicon, please let me know!
