Nimbus 0.10.1

Fixes the Finder features that did not work in 0.10.0. If you installed 0.10.0, update.

Fixed

• Keep Downloaded, Copy Share Link in Finder, and changes made elsewhere showing up in Finder now work in the released app. In 0.10.0 (and 0.9.1) the part of Nimbus that runs inside Finder could not read the data it shares with the app, so these three did nothing. Browsing, opening, uploading and thumbnails were not affected.
• The Finder extension now carries the same version number as the app.

Updating

Replace the app. On first launch Nimbus asks Finder to rebuild each cloud once:

• files you had downloaded through Finder are fetched again when you next open them;
• a folder catches up the next time you open it in Finder.

Requirements

• macOS 15 or later, Apple silicon or Intel
• rclone on your PATH (brew install rclone); the path is configurable in Settings > Advanced. Share links and backup previews need rclone 1.76 or later.

Install

Open the DMG, drag Nimbus to Applications, launch it. The app is signed with a Developer ID certificate and notarized by Apple, so Gatekeeper opens it without warnings.

Known issues

• After quitting Nimbus in the middle of a backup, the next run can fail once on a leftover temporary file. Run it again and it completes.
• A backup started by hand and cut off by quitting is not marked as stopped; its row still shows the previous run.
• Scheduled backups run only while Nimbus is open (the menu bar counts). Turn on Open at Login to keep them running.
• Changes made elsewhere reach Finder within about ten minutes, not at once.

Everything new in 0.10.0 is described in its release notes.

Nimbus is free, signed builds included. Two paid apps from the same studio pay for it: Beltr, karaoke from the music you already own, on your TV, and OneScribe, a scanner for iPhone and iPad that reads what it scans.

Nimbus 0.10.0

Use 0.10.1 instead. In this build Keep Downloaded, Copy Share Link in Finder and changes made elsewhere showing up in Finder do not work. 0.10.1 fixes that and changes nothing else.

A new look, scheduled backups, and the Finder features people expect from a cloud app. Nimbus is free, source and signed builds alike.

Requirements

• macOS 15 or later, Apple silicon or Intel
• rclone on your PATH (brew install rclone); the path is configurable in Settings > Advanced. Share links and backup previews need rclone 1.76 or later.

Install

Open the DMG, drag Nimbus to Applications, launch it. The app is signed with a Developer ID certificate and notarized by Apple, so Gatekeeper opens it without warnings.

Updating from 0.9.1: replace the app. Finder re-reads each cloud once after the update, so a large cloud can be slow to list for a few minutes.

New

• A new look. A sky backdrop, glass sidebar and cards, each cloud in its own colour, and Liquid Glass on macOS 26 and later. Light and Dark both follow the Appearance setting.
• Home. Free space across all your clouds, a storage ring, a card per cloud with its status in plain words, recent activity, and a prompt when a cloud needs you to sign in again.
• Backups. Save a backup from a folder on this Mac, or a cloud, to another cloud or folder. Every backup shows a preview of what it will copy, replace and remove before it runs. Run it by hand or every hour, day or week. Replaced and removed files are kept in a versions folder for as long as you choose, and a removal limit stops a run that would delete more than you expect.
• Keep Downloaded. Pin a file or folder from Finder's menu or the inspector so it stays on this Mac; Allow Removing Download undoes it.
• Share links. Copy Share Link in Finder and the inspector, for services that make links. Where the service supports it you can choose when the link expires and stop sharing.
• Finder thumbnails for photos and PDFs that are still in the cloud.
• Changes made elsewhere show up in Finder without re-importing the cloud.
• Menu bar panel with each cloud's status, running transfers and recent activity.
• Add Cloud walks through setup in plain words, with one-click sign-in for the services that offer it.
• "On this Mac" column in the file list, and a Nimbus symbol for its locations in Finder's sidebar.

Fixed

• Home no longer counts pooled storage twice in free space.
• Answering a setup question after signing in no longer restarts the walk-through.
• A finished transfer no longer waits on the notification permission prompt, which could leave a backup showing "Backing up… 0%" for good.
• "Save and Preview…" always previews the backup you just saved.

Known issues

• After quitting Nimbus in the middle of a backup, the next run can fail once on a leftover temporary file. Run it again and it completes.
• A backup started by hand and cut off by quitting is not marked as stopped; its row still shows the previous run.
• Scheduled backups run only while Nimbus is open (the menu bar counts). Turn on Open at Login to keep them running.

Nimbus 0.9.1

Replaces 0.9.0, which did not launch (its signature still carried Xcode's development provisioning profile; macOS refused to spawn it). Nothing else changed. The first public build of Nimbus: a native macOS app that turns the cloud storage services rclone supports into volumes you browse, show in Finder, and sync.

Requirements

• macOS 15 or later, Apple silicon or Intel
• rclone on your PATH (brew install rclone); the path is configurable in Settings > Advanced

Install

Open the DMG, drag Nimbus to Applications, launch it. The app is signed with a Developer ID certificate and notarized by Apple, so Gatekeeper opens it without warnings.

What works

• Browser with list and icon views, Finder-style selection, column sorting, type-to-select, Quick Look, drag and drop within and across volumes
• One pane per volume: capacity gauge, Open or Show in Finder, Sync, Edit, and Files / Transfers / Finder / Settings tabs; transfer drawer and toolbar progress; file inspector
• Guided Add Volume driven by rclone's own configuration flow; import of an existing rclone config
• Finder integration through a File Provider extension, and NFS mounts that restore on launch
• Copy and sync between any two remotes or local folders, with history, a bandwidth limit, and notifications
• Menu bar item, launch at login, a Settings window modeled on System Settings

Not yet

Scheduled syncs, per-folder storage breakdown, Spotlight and Shortcuts integration, an encryption setup wizard. No dates promised; see the open issues.

Source is GPL-3.0-or-later. Built with Xcode 27.2 on macOS 27.2.

Nimbus 0.9.0

Do not use this build: it does not launch. Its signature still carried Xcode's development provisioning profile, which macOS rejects under a Developer ID signature. Download 0.9.1 instead; it is the same app, correctly signed.
