## What is NodeGuard?

When your server goes down, you don't need a clunky desktop IDE on your phone. You need to know the status instantly, and you need to fix it fast.
NodeGuard is a minimalist, agentless monitor and emergency remote built specifically for Homelab enthusiasts, sysadmins, and indie developers. No bloated UI, no required accounts, and absolutely NO SUBSCRIPTIONS.
THE GEEK EXPERIENCE
GLANCE INBOX: A beautifully native, OLED-optimized dashboard. See the health, CPU, and RAM of all your nodes (Docker, Linux VPS, NAS) in one seamless list.
SLIDE TO RESCUE: Server acting up? Don't fumble with tiny terminal keyboards on the go. Use our haptic-powered "Slide to Confirm" to trigger an instant reboot, restart a container, or run an emergency script with Native iOS fluidity.
LOG PARSER: Read real-time, color-coded, regex-parsed log snippets to diagnose the issue before you even think about opening a full SSH session.
ZERO-CLOUD & SECURE: Your API keys, IPs, and credentials never leave your device. NodeGuard uses pure Apple Keychain security. We don't track your servers, period.

We hate tech subscriptions as much as you do.
