The NekoRun cat. Sleepy until you hover. pet the cat

scp via cat.

NekoRun is a tiny macOS menu-bar utility that scps whatever you drop on it. That's it. That's the whole app.

Try it (no cat required)

Drag the file onto the cat.

This is roughly what using NekoRun feels like, minus the part where the file actually goes somewhere. You can also drag a real file in from your desktop — we promise it stays on your computer.

Drop target cat

drag the file onto the cat
(or tap the cat, if you're on a phone)

nekorun — scp
# waiting for a file…

How it works

Three steps. Two of them are setup.

01

Tell it where

Click the cat → Set Upload Destination… and give it you@yourserver plus a remote path. It remembers.

02

Maybe add a hook

Optionally set a shell command that runs after every upload — chmod things, restart things, notify things.

03

Drop stuff on the cat

Files, folders, whatever. The cat wiggles while scp -r does its thing. That wiggle is the progress bar.
