## What is Rackside?

Rackside watches your servers so you don't have to.

Add a server, pick what to check, and Rackside tells you the moment something goes wrong. Built for developers and sysadmins who run their own VPS, homelab or side project, not for enterprise fleets.

WHAT IT CHECKS
- Cloud monitor — our servers ping your HTTPS, HTTP or TCP endpoint day and night, even when your phone is off
- Local check — this device checks servers on your LAN, VPN or Tailscale while the app is open
- SSH metrics — live CPU, RAM, disk and load, read straight from your server over SSH
- Heartbeat — for jobs that have no address, like nightly backups. Your script pings Rackside when it finishes. No ping in time, you get an alert

ALWAYS KNOW WHAT'S UP
A status ring, 24-hour history and per-server cards show you what's up, what's slow and what's down, at a glance. Every incident gets its own timeline: when it started, what the error was, how long it lasted.

ALERTS THAT REACH YOU
Push notifications the moment a server goes down or comes back up. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. Live Activity and Dynamic Island while an incident is open.

YOUR KEYS STAY ON YOUR PHONE
SSH keys and passwords are stored only in your device's Keychain. They never reach our servers. Face ID or a passcode locks the app itself.

Free includes 2 servers, 1 cloud monitor and SSH metrics on 1 server.

Rackside Pro unlocks unlimited servers, 20 cloud monitors checked every minute, 10 heartbeat monitors, SSH metrics on every server, 90 days of history, and medium/large widgets.
