Features
Read full description

Coolpanion is a native iPhone and iPad client for Coolify, the self-hosted platform you deploy your applications, services and databases on. 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? Tap “Explore the demo” on the connection screen to walk through a fictional instance. Nothing leaves your device and no address is contacted. PRIVACY Coolpanion talks to your instance and nowhere else. There is no account, no analytics and no tracking. Your API token is stored in the device keychain and is only ever sent to the instance it belongs to. WHAT YOU NEED A Coolify instance you can reach, and an API token with read and deploy permissions. Coolpanion is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Coolify. COOLPANION PRO Pro unlocks a second and further instance with full control, and the Insights section. Available as a yearly subscription with a 7-day free trial, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least a day before the renewal date, in Settings, Apple Account, Subscriptions.
