Profile

Made a simple, free/open-source helper app to forward ports from remote hosts to localhost/etc. Just simple SSH under the hood, but a lot easier to deal with multiple ports & repeated connections (just toggle a switch in your menu bar).I've been doing a lot more dev on remote servers (or on my home server over Tailscale from my laptop) since it's a lot easier leaving agents running for longer tasks or being able to swap to my phone. This just makes it easier to access those ports at localhost as if I'm developing locally. Super lightweight, fully native macOS app that basically is just a nicer interface for the underlying SSH commands.Hope folks find it helpful!

Mirrorball – easy port forwarding for remote dev hosts is positioned in show hn launch, a segment that rewards a clear, focused offering.

It is recorded at the Show HN launch stage.
