Loopback: Tunnel Browser
Tailscale & SSH Tunnel Browser
$0.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New in 2.0: Tailscale built in. Open web services on your tailnet without turning on a VPN.
Loopback opens the web services on your private network, right on your iPhone.
Your NAS dashboard, the admin panel on your server, the dev build on your laptop: these pages only open on your own network. Loopback connects to them from your phone and shows them in a built-in browser. No system VPN, and nothing exposed to the internet.
Two ways to connect, picked per device
• Tailscale Direct: sign in to Tailscale in the app and your tailnet devices are listed for you. Bookmarks open device:port directly with no account or key, and every port on the device is reachable. Loopback joins the tailnet on its own, so your phone's system VPN stays off.
• SSH Tunnel: for machines without Tailscale, enter the address, username, and a password or private key (Ed25519 / RSA). Loopback sets up a local port forward and opens the page. Services that only listen on localhost work too.
Bookmark cards, one tap away
• Save each service as a color card with its own icon and path
• Forward several ports from one card, for apps with a separate frontend and backend
• Filter by device with the tabs at the top, or type an address like nas:8080 to open it right away
• Ports are checked before connecting, and connections close when the app goes to the background or times out
Private by design
• Passwords and private keys stay in your device Keychain
• No backend and no data collection
• Export and import your setup to move to a new phone
Loopback: your private network, one tap away.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Fixes for Tailscale Direct:
• Fixed pages on Tailscale devices failing to load after the app had been in the background for a while, until the app was force-quit. Loopback now reconnects when it returns to the foreground and reloads the page
• When a page fails to load, Loopback reconnects to Tailscale once automatically, and Retry on the error page now reconnects too
• The address bar shows the full IP when you open a 100.x address
