by linxy97

is a tiny native macOS menu-bar app for local SSH port forwards. It has no external dependencies and runs natively.

I’m also adding support for viewing remote images and markdown files - paste an absolute path directly into the menu bar to view them

Nice! This warms my heart — I used to make a Mac GUI app for SSH tunnel management back in the day.

Nice idea. I deal with port forwarding daily and this looks super handy. Any plans to add connection grouping or folders for those of us juggling dozens of environments?
