SynoTool
SynoTool is a menu-bar utility for macOS that monitors and manages Synology NAS devices and routers on your local network. It displays real-time device status, storage volume information, connected users, and Download Station task management in a single click. The app was built with Swift 3 and requires a Synology device running DSM 6 or later with an admin account; it stores credentials in the macOS Keychain and communicates only over the local network without internet calls.

1 suggestionSynoTool was last released in 2017 and shows no signs of active maintenance — there are no recent updates, no public repository tracking ongoing development, and no indication the developer has shipped a native Apple Silicon build. The app was written in Swift 3, which was modern at that time but the underlying codebase has not been modernised. An Intel-only build will stop launching entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), so you have approximately two years to find an alternative if the developer does not update the app. Contact the developer (Piotr Zagawa) directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon version is planned. If the developer is no longer active, consider whether the Synology web interface or the official Synology mobile apps (available on iOS and Android) can provide the monitoring and management features you rely on — they will work on any Mac with a browser and do not depend on a native desktop client.
