Love this app
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback and for supporting NAS Guard with your purchase. We understand the appeal of open source and respect that philosophy. However, we've made a deliberate decision to keep NAS Guard closed source — for good reasons. NAS Guard connects to your most sensitive infrastructure. Every release goes through Apple's rigorous App Review process, including automated and manual security checks. Your API key never leaves your device. There is no account, no cloud, no tracking, no analytics, no telemetry, and no third-party SDKs. You can verify this yourself through any network traffic monitor. As an indie developer, keeping the source closed allows us to sustain ongoing development, provide timely updates for new TrueNAS releases, and deliver the quality you expect. We believe trust is built through behavior, not just code visibility — and we back that up with zero data collection. We hope you'll reconsider, but either way, we appreciate your honest feedback.
Solid bones
1. I moved the NAS guard agent from being managed by the trueNAS apps to being managed by dockhand like all my other containers. The iOS app is connected, but thinks I haven’t installed the agent in the settings. Probably just needs an update to how the app confirms installation.
2.I’d like to see all my dockhand containers in the app UI, because right now I only see dockhand- so maybe an update to the agent allowing access to the docker socket.
3. Another control option I’d like to see added is the backup tasks.
Lastly, I challenge you to respond to this without using AI…

Da du eine Antwort ohne AI möchtest: Diese Antwort ist auf Deutsch, denn jeder Übersetzer wäre KI-basiert – und das wollen wir ja vermeiden. Danke für die Rezension und das Feedback. Zum Agent: NAS Guard erkennt den Agent über die TrueNAS Apps API. Wenn du ihn eigenständig über Dockhand betreibst, läuft er außerhalb des unterstützten Setups – die Erkennung kann dann nicht greifen. Der Agent ist bewusst als TrueNAS App konzipiert, weil er so sauber in das Ökosystem integriert ist. Zum Thema Docker-Container: NAS Guard ist ein TrueNAS-Monitoring-Tool, kein generischer Docker-Manager. Der Zugriff auf den Docker-Socket über den Agent wäre ein erhebliches Sicherheitsrisiko und liegt außerhalb dessen, was die App sein möchte. Backup-Tasks im Control Center ist allerdings ein guter Vorschlag – das steht jetzt auf der Liste.
Nice app but should be open source
I hope the developer can make it open source. I think there would be more trust in the app and eventually more customers willing to pay.
