Barflare is a macOS menu bar app that finds local and Conductor dev servers, then crBarflare is a native macOS menu-bar app for developers who use Cloudflare Tunnels but don’t want to live in the terminal. Create, import, start, stop, monitor, and organise tunnels from one focused Mac interface. Barflare can discover local development servers, bind them to tunnels, show logs and live stats, manage ingress rules and access policies, and keep tunnels running with auto-start and crash recovery.
I kept needing routable endpoints while building and testing apps: sharing work with colleagues, testing mobile flows against a real URL, wiring webhooks, trying auth callbacks, and experimenting with features that don’t work well on plain localhost.
Cloudflare Tunnels solved the networking part, but the day-to-day workflow still meant terminal commands, config files, and remembering what was running where.
Barflare came from wanting a native Mac control surface for that: discover local servers, bind them to tunnels, start and stop them quickly, inspect logs, and keep the focus on building instead of tunnel admin.
