ND Toggle

ND Toggle is a tiny unofficial menubar utility to conveniently start or stop your nextdns-cli daemon. If you're like me—prefers the cli version, yet lazy to manually stop or start your NextDNS service through Terminal, this is for you.

Disclaimer + TOS

Use this at your own risk. It works for me, but I can’t guarantee it will work as expected on your setup. By using ND Toggle, I assume no responsibility if it messes up your system.

Getting Started

Download the release

1. Download ND-Toggle.app.zip here
2. Unzip file and move the app to your Applications folder
3. Open ND Toggle and find it on your menu bar with the shield icon.

Notes

You'd need to already have nextdns-cli installed. See instructions here.

There should be a nextdns.plist in your /Library/LaunchDaemons.

Release is not notarized so you may need to right click and choose Open from the context menu once.
