I’m also adding support for viewing remote images and markdown files - paste an absolute path directly into the menu bar to view them

Nice! This warms my heart — I used to make a Mac GUI app for SSH tunnel management back in the day.

Nice idea. I deal with port forwarding daily and this looks super handy. Any plans to add connection grouping or folders for those of us juggling dozens of environments?

Grouping is available now https://github.com/lx2026/RelayBar/releases/download/v1.2.0-...

Yes, will add grouping!

Looks great! I tend to use autossh as I have a need for these a lot with work and I have unstable internet!
