Mapper is a macOS menu bar app for managing SSH port forwards without retyping ssh -L commands.
Pick a host from your SSH config, set a local and remote port, and Mapper keeps the tunnel alive in the background.
What it does
- Local (
-L) forwards from the menu bar, saved and restarted on launch. - Auto-reconnect with capped backoff, plus live status and latency per tunnel.
- In-app SSH log viewer and an editor for
~/.ssh/config. - Import and export tunnels as JSON.
