Need recommendation of SSH client with host management (reddthat.com)

I’ve been working on a project that I need constant access (and executing commands) among at least 3 hosts in work. I’ve been using SSH’s Host function to manage which host I’m connecting to. However, I find it increasingly annoying that I can’t see which host I’m connected to via the tab on my terminal emulator (I’m using Windows Terminal on Windows and Konsole on Linux).

Is there a good SSH GUI client that can show which host a session is connected to? I’ve tried Termius. But $10 per month is too expensive to me for what I’m doing (and I don’t need most of the paid feature).

Setting the terminal title is done through a standard escape sequence: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/177598

If it's not working, make sure your terminal emulator is set to something like xferm, and that your console host program recognizes this sequence (which Konsole and Windows Terminal should).
