Secure Pipes brings SSH tunnels and proxy management to a native macOS menu bar app. Connect to databases, internal websites and remote services through your own SSH servers without repeatedly writing terminal commands.

Key features

  • Local and remote port forwarding, with multiple mappings per connection
  • SOCKS proxies over SSH, plus reverse SOCKS forwarding
  • Reusable SSH host presets, jump hosts and automatic reconnection
  • Rule-based proxy routing, application routing and usage scenarios
  • Built-in SSH terminal and SFTP file access
  • Connection groups, traffic charts and diagnostic logs
  • AppleScript and spcli automation

Built with Objective-C and AppKit, Secure Pipes supports macOS 12 or later, Apple silicon and Intel Macs, with light and dark appearances.

A free edition is available, with a one-time Pro upgrade for expanded capabilities. You provide your own SSH server or proxy service; Secure Pipes does not include a VPN or proxy subscription.
