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).

Two ways come to mind.

One is tmux. The other is editing your .bashrc (I'm assuming your shell is bash, adjust accordingly if it's a different shell) to have relevant info in your prompt (common is username@hostname).

Oh. also Windows Temrinal supports themes, and you can configure different commands to run when opening a given shell.
