Built for macOS · Liquid Glass
netManager brings SSH, SFTP, SCP and FTP together with eight native network tools — in a fast, encrypted, iCloud-synced Mac app designed for network engineers.
The film
Every frame below is the real app — rendered straight from netManager.
Features
A full xterm-256color emulator on top of the OpenSSH that ships with macOS — so your keys, SSH agent,
~/.ssh/config, jump hosts and port forwarding (local, remote, SOCKS) simply work.
enableOne switch enables SHA-1 key exchange, ssh-rsa and CBC ciphers for older switches, routers and
firewalls — only the ones your OpenSSH actually supports, so connections never fail on an unknown algorithm.
A two-pane SFTP, SCP and FTP browser with drag and drop, a transfer queue, rename, permissions and recursive folders. SFTP and SCP share one login through OpenSSH multiplexing.
Folders up to five levels deep for connections, credentials and templates. Drag and drop, instant search, and an accordion sidebar where every section stays in reach.
Every session, file browser and tool opens in a Liquid Glass tab with a live status dot. Jump with ⌘1–⌘9, duplicate, reorder, or close safely with a confirmation.
Save the commands you type every day and send them to any session in one click — line by line, with an optional delay for devices that drop fast input.
Type user@host:port, pick SSH, SFTP, SCP or FTP, press Return. No saving required — perfect for
the device you'll only touch once.
Liquid Glass throughout, light and dark appearance, SF Symbols, six terminal color themes, and a fully resizable window. It feels like it came with your Mac.
Terminal themes

Network tools
Native, fast, and beautiful — each one turns raw output into something you can read at a glance.
Live statistics, a latency chart with hover details, and a reply list that reads like a dashboard.
A native ping sweep through a single ICMP socket — no helper processes, no root. Silent hosts get asked again.
MTR — My Traceroute — built right in. Every hop probed round after round, with loss and latency statistics.
mtr --report style text report
Every record type, grouped by section and formatted for humans — MX priorities, SOA timers, SPF and DMARC badges.
Follows referrals from IANA to the registry and registrar, then pulls out what actually matters.
Every bit visualized. Drag the prefix slider and watch network, broadcast, host range and masks update live.
A fast, concurrent TCP connect scan with service names and response times — for hosts you're allowed to test.
22,80,8000-8100Your own shell in a tab, right next to your SSH sessions — with the same themes, fonts and shortcuts.

Security & sync
Every name, host, user name, password, key and template is sealed with AES-256-GCM — on your Mac and in iCloud.
The 256-bit key lives in iCloud Keychain, so your Macs share it — and nothing else can read your data. A key fingerprint lets you compare.
SwiftData and CloudKit keep connections, credentials, templates and folders in sync across your Macs — in your private database.
Optionally require Touch ID or your password at launch. Revealing or replacing the key always asks first.
No sign-up, no analytics, no servers of ours. Your network data goes to your devices and your iCloud — nowhere else.

FAQ
Yes. Turn on “Enable Legacy Algorithms” for a connection and netManager adds SHA-1 key exchange, ssh-rsa host keys and CBC ciphers — limited to what your Mac's OpenSSH supports. For SCP, it uses the classic protocol network devices expect.
Absolutely. netManager runs the OpenSSH built into macOS, so your existing configuration, keys and agent work as they always have. You can also store keys as encrypted credentials.
In netManager's own database, encrypted field by field with AES-256-GCM. The key lives in iCloud Keychain. If you enable iCloud sync, only the encrypted values are uploaded to your private CloudKit database.
No. There's no sign-up and no tracking. iCloud sync uses the Apple Account you're already signed in with — and it's optional.
macOS 26.6 or later. The app is designed for the Liquid Glass look and supports light and dark appearance.
