Download Meerkat for Mac - SSH tunnel manager. MacUpdate Mac Internet Utilities Software Downloads

Meerkat... An easy to use SSH tunnel manager built specifically for the Mac. A perfect marriage of UNIX power with Mac elegance, Meerkat includes innovative features such as application triggers, automatic reconnection on system sleep & network change, Growl integration, Bonjour support, command-line and AppleScript integration, and much more.

Version 1.2.2:

New Features

Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard support. Meerkat now supports 10.4 through 10.6. Please see our blog post regarding future support of 10.4.
Any tunnels that are active at app quit are re-activated on next launch if launch happens within a minute or so.
The command-line tool now accepts tunnel name substrings. For example, meerkat myServer up will activate every tunnel whose name contains myServer.

Bug Fixes

Fixed some data storage issues that could cause error messages when saving or deleting several tunnels in a single run of the app.
SSH ControlMaster support is now disabled for all tunnels. In current versions of OpenSSH, ControlMaster does not work with tunnels.

BRETTD $20? For something SSHkeychain does for free?

ANONYMOUS If you look at what SSHKeychain does and what Meerkat does, they are not quite the same. Specifically: app triggers, Growl, Bonjour, AppleScript, and much more. If you don't need those features, then SSHKeychain may suit you just fine.

DAEMONI The app is Great.

So much so, that I bought a license.

Problem is, I didn't receive my reg.info, and have been trying to contact devs since last week to no avail.

Contacted them using the form on their site, through two separate email address and even DM the user on Twitter. Not one single reply or a hint that they received my msgs.

And now, I resort to creating an account on MU, just to review the app and post a comment.

So now the trial period is close to expiring, and I'm still without my license info.

This will definitely taint my view of the devs and the app, and will most likely sour my usage experience with.

Here's hoping they see this, and get back to me.

INCANUS Just to follow up on this, the customer first contacted me on June 7, saying the license had been delayed after two days of non-receipt. The instructions on the website were not followed properly, which is the reason the license did not get mailed.

Within a day after that, this review was posted. So I only had a day to respond after being notified, during which time I was traveling (it was a Sunday).

I responded the next day (Monday, June 9) with the license info, as well as an apology for the delay and an explanation of a glitch in the website that should have provided the license instantly for download, as well as by email had the instructions been followed.

I don't mean to sound curt or upset; I would just like to respond to the above with the details and my good faith efforts to recompense the customer.

DAEMONI @incanus,

Thanks, I did receive the reg.info and your explanation.

As for your other points, I'll endeavor to reply to your feedback/contact email, rather than have a protracted discussion in an open forum.

Cheers.
