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. PRICING: BUY ONCE, OWN FOREVER We hate tech subscriptions as much as you do. • FREE TIER: Manage up to 2 hosts and perform 1 emergency rescue action per day. Perfect for light setups. • PRO LIFETIME (EARLY BIRD): Unlock unlimited hosts, unlimited rescue actions, and prepare for the upcoming macOS native app. Pay once, own it forever. Built with 100% native SwiftUI for the ultimate fluid experience. Keep your homelab green.
