A native desktop tray app that gives you one-click access to any database your team has connected to rmBug — no terminal, no shared credentials, no VPN.
Download the installer for your platform from the latest release.
| Platform | File |
|---|---|
| macOS (Apple Silicon) | rmBug_*_aarch64.dmg |
| macOS (Intel) | rmBug_*_x64.dmg |
| Linux | rmBug_*_amd64.AppImage or .deb |
| Windows | rmBug_*_x64_en-US.msi |
The app updates itself automatically when a new version is released.
Once installed, rmBug lives in your menu bar. Click the icon to see every database resource you have access to. Click a resource to connect — the local proxy starts and the connection string is copied to your clipboard. Paste it into psql, your IDE, or any database tool.
When you connect:
- The tray app launches a local rmBug agent process
- The agent authenticates you with the rmBug Gateway on your company's infrastructure
- A local proxy starts (e.g.
127.0.0.1:15432) - Your connection string is ready to use
Your database credentials never touch your machine. Every connection is logged in the rmBug audit trail.
- macOS 13+, Windows 10+, or a modern Linux desktop (with AppIndicator support)
- An rmBug account and at least one resource you have access to
- Internet access to reach the rmBug control plane
