## What is Headmin!?

Headmin is a native admin console for Headscale, the open-source, self-hosted
control server for Tailscale-based networks. Point it at your own server and
manage your entire tailnet from your phone — no dashboard tab required.

CONNECT TO YOUR OWN SERVER
Enter your Headscale URL and API key once. Your credentials are validated
and then stored securely on-device, in your phone's Keychain or Keystore —
never on our servers, because we don't have any. Headmin talks directly to
your Headscale instance.

USERS
List, create, rename and delete users in seconds.

NODES
See every device on your network at a glance: online status, IP addresses
and tags. Rename a node, move it to a different user, expire its key, or
remove it entirely. Generate pre-auth keys with custom expiry, reusable or
single-use, tagged for your ACLs.

ROUTES
View every subnet route and exit node your devices advertise, and approve
or disable them individually.

ACL POLICIES
Edit rules, groups, tag owners and hosts through a visual editor, or drop
into a raw HuJSON view for full control.

BUILT FOR SELF-HOSTERS
Headmin has no backend of its own and no account system — it's a thin,
secure client for the server you already run. Your data stays between your
phone and your infrastructure.

Requires an existing Headscale server and an API key
(generate one with `headscale apikeys create`).
