## What is Proxly?

Proxly is a beautiful, native app for managing your Proxmox VE homelab.

See everything at a glance: cluster health, every node, VM and container, and which guests are working hardest. Tap into any guest for live CPU, memory, network and disk charts from the last hour to the last year.

Do the everyday jobs without reaching for a laptop:
• Start, shut down, reboot, suspend or stop VMs and containers
• Take, roll back and delete snapshots
• Back up now, restore or delete backups, and clone guests
• Change cores and memory, edit notes, toggle start at boot
• Check node health, storage, disk SMART status and pending updates
• Open a VM console or a container or node shell
• Follow tasks live and stop ones that misbehave
• Search by name, ID, tag or IP address, and pin favorites

On Apple Watch, see cluster health at a glance, check your nodes, and start, shut down, reboot or stop guests from your wrist. Your servers and sign-ins sync from your iPhone.

Private by design. Proxly connects directly to your server, with no accounts, cloud relay or analytics. Sign in with a scoped API token or your Proxmox user with two-factor codes. Self-signed certificates are supported by pinning the fingerprint you trust. Credentials stay in the Keychain on your device, and optional Face ID can protect the whole app or just the actions that change your servers.

No server handy? Tap Explore the Demo to try every screen on a simulated homelab.

Requires a Proxmox VE server your iPhone or iPad can reach, for example on your home network or over a VPN.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3.0 — 2026-11-10

- If a sign-in expires, a two-factor code is needed or an API token is revoked, Proxly stops and asks you to sign in again instead of retrying in the background.
- If your server's certificate changes, Proxly always asks before trusting the new one, even if your device would trust it.
- Guests in unusual states, such as paused or after an I/O error, now offer the right power actions, and a guest's screens follow it when it migrates to another node.
- Long task logs load in full, task history includes every task, and backups tell you when a storage can't be read.
- Apple Watch: a new Settings option, Sync Sign-Ins to Apple Watch, controls whether your sign-ins are sent to the watch, and the watch hides power actions when the iPhone app asks before changes.
- Better VoiceOver labels and many smaller fixes.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-11-09

- Proxly is now on Apple Watch. See your cluster's CPU, memory and disk at a glance, check your nodes, and start, shut down, reboot or stop guests from your wrist.
- Your servers and sign-ins come across from your iPhone, and the watch connects to your server directly.
- No server handy? Tap Explore the Demo on the watch to try it.
- The watch connects to servers by their local name, such as pve.lab.home.arpa, like the iPhone app does.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-11-09

- Connect to your server by its local name, such as pve.lab.home.arpa, even with a self-signed certificate. Before, only its IP address worked.
- Proxly no longer asks you to sign in again when iOS opens it in the background while your phone is locked.
- The demo leaves your server list once you connect a real server. You can still open it from Settings > Servers to show someone around.

### 1.0 — 2026-11-08

No release notes.
