Connect your own instance with an API token and you get its whole dashboard in your pocket, and the controls that go with it. SEE WHAT IS RUNNING • One overview with your applications, services, databases and servers, and how many of each are up • A “Needs attention” list, with the states that count as trouble entirely up to you • Status badges everywhere, parsed from what Coolify actually reports • The last sync and the last deployments, always in sight TAKE ACTION • Deploy, restart, start and stop any resource • Deploy with options: force a rebuild without cache, deploy a pull request preview or a specific image tag • Follow a deployment while it runs, with its build log in a sheet you can close and reopen • Roll an application back to an earlier image • Clone a resource, move it to another environment, or delete it GO DEEPER • A real log viewer: per container, with wrapping, line numbers, timestamps, a filter, live follow and sharing • Environment variables and shared variables, with values hidden until you ask • Domains, scheduled tasks, persistent storages and database backups • Servers: reachability, proxy, Docker cleanup and the resources they host • Projects, environments, tags and Coolify’s own notification settings BUILT FOR THE PLATFORM • iPad layout with a sidebar, a resource list and a detail column side by side, plus ⌘ shortcuts • A home screen widget and a Control Center control • Siri and Shortcuts: redeploy a resource, restart it, or ask how your instance is doing • Optional Face ID lock, and a notification when something goes down while the app is closed • Works offline: the last sync is kept on device so the dashboard is never empty • Fully localised: English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Swedish, Simplified Chinese, Hindi, Russian and Arabic NO INSTANCE YET?
