SSHFS GUI is a native macOS app written in Rust with Tauri, with a React interface. It mounts remote folders over SSH and opens them in Finder as if they were local disks, using the keys already on the Mac or a password that stays in the Keychain.
sshfs and FUSE-T ship inside the app, built for it, so there is nothing else to install and no kernel extension needed. FUSE-T mounts the file system through a local NFS server instead of a system driver, and lives alongside any sshfs or macFUSE already on the Mac.
Releases come for Apple Silicon and Intel, from a pipeline that builds sshfs from pinned sources before packaging the app. The full story is in this article on DEV.
