TunnelFlaresTokens stay in the Keychain
Each token is stored in your macOS Keychain and passed to cloudflared through the environment instead of the command line, so it never shows up in ps.
Free macOS menu-bar app
Cloudflare Tunnels on macOS, one click away.
TunnelFlares is a free macOS menu-bar app and GUI for cloudflared. It runs cloudflared tunnel run
for every tunnel you set up: click to bring one online, click again to take it down. No terminal tabs to babysit,
no tokens in your shell history.

01
Run Cloudflare Tunnels on your Mac in three steps.
-
step 1
Install cloudflared
Get it with
brew install cloudflared. TunnelFlares finds it on its own, or you can point it at a custom path. -
step 2
Paste your tunnel token
Paste the bare token or the whole
cloudflared tunnel run --token …command from the Cloudflare dashboard. The token is pulled out for you. New to tunnels? Start with the Cloudflare Tunnel setup guide. -
step 3
Click to go live
Pick a tunnel from the menu bar. The icon turns green once Cloudflare reports the connections as registered.
02
A cloudflared menu-bar app with careful defaults.
Honest status
Connected means connected: the state comes from cloudflared's own output, connection by connection. Green, orange or red at a glance, with the error spelled out when something breaks.
Live logs
Every tunnel keeps its own log window. Copy it or clear it with one click.
Starts with your Mac
Open at login, and choose which tunnels come up on their own when the app launches.
Notch-friendly
Menu bar full? Keep TunnelFlares in the Dock and right-click it to start or stop tunnels.
Clean shutdowns
Quitting closes connections gracefully, and leftover cloudflared processes from a crash are cleaned up on the next launch.
Signed and notarized
Signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so it opens without Gatekeeper warnings. Native Swift, universal binary.
