Add every instance you manage. Switch between teams and providers from one screen, and see the same dashboard whether you're on Coolify or Dokploy. WHAT YOU CAN DO • See every resource's real status at a glance — running, deploying, stopped, or in error • Start, stop, restart, or trigger a fresh deploy, each behind a confirmation step • Browse projects, servers, and deployment history, and read logs on the spot • View environment variables, and edit them where the provider allows it • Get notified in the background when a deploy finishes, fails, or health changes BUILT FOR SELF-HOSTERS Your API credentials are stored only in this device's Keychain.
