SSHKeychain is a GUI front-end for ssh-agent and ssh-add on Mac OS X. Features include:
Can remove all keys from the agent after sleep or after a minimum period of
sleep (especially useful for notebooks).
Can remove all keys from the agent when a Screensaver is detected.
Can remove all keys from the agent when the Apple keychain is locked.
Can add keys to the agent whenever the Apple keychain is unlocked.
Can add keys to the agent whenever ssh is trying to use the agent with no
keys on the chain.
Can display itself in the StatusBar, Dock, or both.

You can store the passphrases for your private keys in the Apple Keychain.
Can add the necessary variables to the global environment
(~/.MacOSX/environment.plist),
so you can use SSHKeychain with all your programs (Terminal, Project
Builder, etc).
You can also edit the global environment from within the Preferences.
You can lock/unlock the Apple keychain from a menu item.
Works seamless with the commandline tools. (i.e. tracks activity coming
from the commandline tools, and updates it's UI.)
Works with requests coming over the network (through AgentForwarding).
Can generate new keypairs.

Related side-topic annoyance: Among other things, the often-too-dumb Apple Installer begs for the ability to let experienced users deselect unwanted files they want to exclude during installation, like that unnecessary .gdb_history the SSHKeychain developer accidentally included in the package. Yes, I know about Pacifist though Installer needn't obsolete it simply to give a bit more control over developer mistakes.

Installing the "SMC Firmware Update" has not had any effect on however SSHKeychain manages to freeze up the system.

SSHAGENT=/usr/bin/ssh-agent
SSHAGENTARGS="-s"
if [ -z "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" -a -x "$SSHAGENT" ]; then
eval `$SSHAGENT $SSHAGENTARGS`
trap "kill $SSH_AGENT_PID" 0

Then start a new shell and type:
ssh-add
You are prompted for the password of your ssh-keys.

0.7 crashes on startup. 0.7.1 displays blank panes on preferences. Are you doing something silly like using webkit for the preferences?

Interferes with screen saver / screen lock.
(Makes it impossible to unlock the screen after
screen saver kicks in and interferes with
outside ssh connections.)
The crashes happened before 0.7, too. The
login interference is new.

Does anyone know how I might fully hide SSHKeychain without mucking with the source?
(I have to add, this is one of the most useful pieces of MacOS freeware out there!)
