Score: 5.5/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 6, Documentation: 7, Utility: 5)

Mirrorball is a native macOS menu bar and window app that simplifies SSH port forwarding with a toggle-based interface, auto-reconnection, and Keychain-backed authentication. It's interesting because it combines a polished SwiftUI experience with robust supervision of SSH tunnels, reusing existing SSH config and keys.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, security engineers
