HomelabGlance
Read full descriptionHide full description
Homelab Glance is a native dashboard for the self-hosted server you already run. It reads from the open-source "glance" aggregator and shows your containers, media, downloads, and storage at a glance — on your Home Screen, in widgets, in a Live Activity, and in a Mac menu-bar app. There's no Homelab Glance account and no cloud. The app talks only to the glance server on your own hardware. Point it at your server once and everything appears. AUTO-DETECTED SERVICES Rich cards for the apps it recognizes — Jellyfin, Sonarr, Radarr, and more — and clean generic cards for everything else, built from what's actually running. WIDGETS & LIVE ACTIVITY A configurable at-a-glance view for Home Screen and Lock Screen, plus a Live Activity that tracks a download or job from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. CONTAINER CONTROLS Start, stop, and restart containers from the app — gated behind a separate control token you set, so read-only and control access stay distinct. ON YOUR MAC The same dashboard in a menu-bar app, one click away. SIRI & SHORTCUTS Actions are App Intents, so your homelab is scriptable and Siri-accessible. TRY IT WITHOUT A SERVER Demo mode is on by default with sample data, so you can explore the whole app before connecting. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Homelab Glance collects nothing. Your server address and tokens stay in your device's Keychain and traffic goes straight to your own machine — over your LAN or securely over Tailscale. The aggregator it talks to is open-source and self-hosted by you.
