## What is RootWatch?

RootWatch turns your phone into a real-time control room for your Linux servers.

Connect over SSH with just an IP address and password — no agent to configure by hand, no dashboard to host yourself. RootWatch installs and manages its own lightweight monitoring agent on your server automatically, then streams live telemetry straight to your phone.

LIVE SERVER TELEMETRY
• CPU usage — overall and per-core, with live load average
• RAM & swap usage, with cached/free breakdown
• Disk partitions — used/free space per mount point
• Network throughput — live upload/download speed and totals
• Running services and processes, with CPU/RAM per process
• Uptime, temperature, and system info at a glance

INSTANT PUSH ALERTS
Get notified the moment something needs attention — high CPU, high memory, low disk space, a service going down, or the server itself going offline. Choose exactly how loud each alert type is: silent, a normal notification, or a full loud alert with buzzer and vibration — configured independently per alert type.

BUILT FOR REAL SERVER WORK
• Works with any Linux server — VPS, cloud instance, bare metal, doesn't matter
• Root-login based, no complicated key setup
• Secure credential storage (Keystore/Keychain-backed, encrypted at rest)
• Persistent login — reconnects automatically, no need to log in every time
• Light and dark mode, with a clean, information-dense dashboard
• Export a full PDF telemetry report of your server's current state
• Notification history — an in-app inbox of every alert you've received

RootWatch doesn't ping some hosted status page — it talks to your actual server, live, over SSH. If you manage a Linux box and want to know the moment something's wrong instead of finding out when a client does, RootWatch is built for you.
