Can you be more clear about what "PuTTY Agent" does? The only PuTTY I'm aware of is an open-source Windows SSH client. The Mac Terminal program has an SSH client inside of it, although it can be a little difficult to use. If you want a commercial SSH GUI that's fully featured and has a better UI then I will recommend SecureCRT available from VanDyke software. SecureCRT is also available for Windows and Linux. It's pretty much the same application on all platforms and I find really great to use.
PuTTY Agent is an add-on to the PuTTY SSH client, using which you can store keys and connect to stored hosts from a pop-up menu.

If you make shortcuts, and if there are a lot of them, you still have to organize them somehow. I want some kind of application, like the Microsoft RDP client, where you open the application and it is organized by groups and servers.
Prompt 3 by Panic will do this. It’s $20 a year or $100 lifetime through the App Store and will run on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
There is also Shellfish, also available in the App Store for all the platforms. It’s listed as “SSH Files- Secure Shellfish.” It’s less expensive at $14.99/year or $39.99 lifetime. I’ve used Shellfish but not Prompt 3, though I used Prompt 2 for years.
