Easily manage your servers and sites through your mobile phone! What permissions does this app require and why? *Internet connection* Obviously, we need an active internet connection to retrieve data. *Push notifications* This is optional, if you allow push notifications you can set up the channels inside your Ploi account to get push notifications on deploys for example. *Haptic feedback* When you're using pull to refresh, we send out a little signal to your haptic feedback engine so you get a better feeling of when you've pulled far enough, and once its done. *Biometrics* You can protect your app by using Face ID or Touch ID.
