Website remtoloc.com
Overview

What it is

Sync databases and files from your server to your Mac with just two clicks from the menu bar

Intent

I need it when

Securely connect to managed databases like Digital Ocean without SSH tunneling complexity

Remtoloc supports direct SSL certificate connections to managed databases, eliminating the need for SSH tunneling setup and allowing straightforward configuration with host, username, password, and port.

Keep local backups of production databases with version history for quick rollback

Remtoloc maintains local database backups on the Mac and allows users to revert to different versions, providing a safety net for development and testing without relying on external backup services.

Automate manual database dumps and file transfers from production servers to local development environment

Remtoloc eliminates repetitive manual dumping by enabling one-click database synchronization from servers to Mac using secure SSH/SSL connections, saving developers hours of manual work and reducing human error.

Manage multiple development projects with different server connections from a single Mac application

Remtoloc's dashboard and topbar integration allow developers to manage up to 3 projects free or unlimited projects with Pro/Business licenses, with instant syncing accessible from the Mac menu bar.

Sync large asset files and S3 buckets efficiently without transferring unchanged data

Remtoloc uses Rsync technology to synchronize only new or changed files from servers and AWS/Digital Ocean S3 buckets, saving bandwidth and time compared to full file transfers.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User requires Windows or Linux support; Remtoloc is macOS-only (requires macOS 14 or higher)
  • User needs password-based SSH authentication; Remtoloc only supports SSH key authentication
  • User requires real-time continuous syncing; Remtoloc operates on manual two-click sync triggers
  • User needs to sync databases across multiple servers without a local Mac intermediary
  • User requires support for databases other than MySQL or managed database services
  • User needs cloud-based solution; Remtoloc is a local desktop application
