Uses your SSH config
Reads tunnel hosts and LocalForward entries straight from ~/.ssh/config
via ssh -G. No separate config to maintain.
SSH Tunnel
Open, monitor, and reconnect SSH tunnels from the macOS menu bar — driven by the SSH config you already use.
Why SSH Tunnel
Section titled “Why SSH Tunnel”SSH Tunnel wraps the same ssh -M master-socket workflow you would run in
Terminal, then adds health checks, automatic reconnects, quick forwards,
diagnostics, and proper process lifecycle handling — so your tunnels stay in
sync without keeping Terminal windows open.
Self-healing tunnels
Scheduled health checks plus TCP port probes, automatic reconnects with exponential backoff, and recovery on network changes and system wake.
Quick Forwards
Forward a remote port on the fly. The app picks a free local port, saves it, and reapplies it after reconnects and restarts.
Native & lightweight
A SwiftUI menu bar app with no Dock icon. State at a glance through the menu bar icon color: idle, connecting, connected, or failed.
