CLUSTER CREDENTIALS-DESKTOP-FORWARDING · 5 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-16
SSH port-forwarding desktop apps
These desktop and tray applications manage SSH port-forwarding tunnels with profiles, encrypted credentials, and local, remote, or SOCKS5 modes, storing secrets in OS keychains. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from — no entries have source dates before the index start. Among members with activity signals, ssh-tunnel leads with 1 star, while nexu-port-forwarding and wharf-tui-bin trail with 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 5 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
