betterNAS is a hosted control plane with a user-run node agent.
The control plane owns user auth, node enrollment, heartbeats, export state, and mount issuance.
The node agent runs on the machine that owns the files and serves them over WebDAV.
The web app reads from the control plane and shows nodes, exports, and mount details.
Finder mounts the export from the node's public WebDAV URL using the same betterNAS username and password.
File traffic goes directly between the client and the node, not through the control plane.
betterNAS lets you mount remote machines as native Finder volumes on your Mac.
Install a small agent on any box with files you care about, and it shows up in Finder like a local drive.
No sync clients, no special apps - just your files, where you expect them.
The plan is bigger: phone, laptop, agents, all seeing the same filesystem.
A modular backup layer you actually use day-to-day, and a way to run agents on your own hardware without handing over the keys.
