Built from operational pain,
not marketing assumptions.
Storm Tunnel was designed and developed by a DevOps engineer with over 15 years of hands-on production experience. The focus is practical: private AWS databases and internal services should be reachable without turning every developer into a bastion-access expert.
"The real competitor is the industry-wide tolerance for bad UX in tunnel management."
Secure, but still too manual
AWS Session Manager is a better path than public bastions, but
the day-to-day experience still depends on long commands,
correct profiles, correct regions, target instances, ports, and
private endpoints.
That is too much ceremony for a developer who just needs to open
TablePlus, DBeaver, psql, or a browser against an internal
service.
Operationally clear
Storm Tunnel keeps the secure AWS model and removes the daily
command-line friction.
Infrastructure teams define the right path. Developers connect
through a native macOS interface, see the tunnel state, and keep
their database or internal service workflow focused.
Trust Principles
We sell software, not your data.
No Telemetry or Tracking
Storm Tunnel respects your privacy completely. We believe that developer tools should be tools, not spies. In the app there is no telemetry, no usage tracking, and no data collection. Your infrastructure connection details remain strictly private and local to your machine.
Native macOS
Built specifically for macOS using Swift and SwiftUI. Fast, responsive, and battery-efficient. AWS SSM support is a first-class citizen, not a wrapper around a Python script.
Production Grade
Created by a practicing DevOps engineer. Every feature exists because it solves a real problem encountered in 15+ years of managing production infrastructure.
