About:
Secure Pipes is a macOS GUI application designed to simplify the management of SSH tunnels. It provides an intuitive interface for creating, monitoring, and controlling persistent SSH connections, making it easy to securely forward ports and access remote services. This tool is ideal for users who need reliable tunneling without the complexity of command-line configuration.

Key Features:

Graphical user interface for managing SSH tunnels
Persistent connection monitoring and auto-reconnect
Easy configuration of local and remote port forwarding
Menu bar integration for quick access

Use Cases:

Securely accessing a remote database from a local client
Tunneling web services through an SSH gateway
Maintaining persistent SSH connections for development workflows

Alternatives:

ssh -L / -R – Command-line native, but lacks persistent management and GUI
autossh – Automates reconnection but requires CLI configuration
SSH Tunnel Manager – Similar GUI tool, but Secure Pipes offers a more modern interface
