velcro

Your NAS,
stuck to your Mac.

Wi‑Fi blips, the lid closes, you switch networks — and your shares vanish. velcro puts them back before you notice. No dialogs. No Connect to Server.

01

Back the moment the network is

velcro reconnects when the network changes, when your Mac wakes, and every minute in between.

02

Never freezes your Mac

It reads the mount table instead of touching a share, so a dead server can't hang Finder or your terminal.

03

Home, office, anywhere

Give each share fallback hosts. Try the LAN address first, then your Tailscale name.

04

Quiet by design

No error pop-ups. It uses the password already in your keychain and writes problems to a log.

Also a command

Same shares, from the terminal.

The app ships the velcro command and keeps one list for both. SMB and NFS.

Get started

Three steps. Then forget about it.

  1. Download and drag velcro into Applications.
  2. Open it. This early build isn't notarized yet, so macOS will say it can't check it. Click Done, open System Settings › Privacy & Security, and click Open Anyway. You only do this once.
  3. Add a share from the menu bar, like smb://me@nas.local/home. velcro starts at login and keeps it attached.
