Swift Paperless vs NAS Guard

Swift Paperless is a native iOS app that interacts with the popular Paperless-ngx document management software. Paperless-ngx is self-hosted, and therefore fully privacy preserving: you control your data! With Swift Paperless, it's easy to find, categorize and also add documents from your phone!

NAS Guard – keep an eye on your TrueNAS, right from your iPhone. NAS Guard connects to your TrueNAS server over the encrypted WebSocket API (JSON-RPC) and shows your system's status and health clearly and in real time. MONITORING (free) - Dashboard: CPU, RAM, network throughput, load - Pools & datasets: capacity, status, scrub state - Disks: health, temperatures, ZFS errors (read/write/checksum) - Disk health forecast: drive health trend - Apps/containers, VMs and services: running status - View data protection: snapshots, Cloud Sync, Replication, Rsync, TrueCloud, Cron - Shares: SMB, NFS, iSCSI, NVMe-oF - Security & certificates, network interfaces, UPS - Your NAS system alerts FILES & PREVIEW (free) - Browse your NAS file system folder by folder, with size and modification date, folders first, and pull-to-refresh. - Rich Quick Look preview: photos (JPEG, PNG, GIF, HEIC, WebP, TIFF, BMP), PDF, plain text and code (JSON, XML, YAML, shell, Python, Swift, JS/TS, SQL and more) and office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Pages, Numbers, Keynote). - Built-in audio player (MP3, FLAC, WAV, AAC, M4A and more) with a live spectrum and waveform visualizer. - Video: MP4, MOV and M4V play directly (stream-optimized files stream without a full download). DO MORE WITH THE OPTIONAL AGENT (free, self-hosted) The NAS Guard Agent is a small container you install on your TrueNAS in one tap – just pick a pool and a port, no shell or compose editing. It keeps itself up to date automatically and adds: - Real-time alerts: get notified about outages and important events even when the app can't reach your NAS directly – faster and more reliable than background polling. - Live Activities (Control Pack): follow long-running jobs (scrub, resilver, replication, Cloud Sync, Rsync) live on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, updated in the background even when the app is closed. - Full media streaming: play video of any size instantly with no download, and open containers Apple can't handle natively (MKV, AVI and more) via on-the-fly HLS remux – with hardware-accelerated transcoding on Intel/AMD GPUs when available. - Runs entirely on your own NAS. IN-APP PURCHASES – honest and transparent Free: - 1 server profile - Full read/monitoring feature set, files & preview, and the optional agent Unlimited Servers (one-time purchase): - As many server profiles as you like - Background monitoring of all servers (free: only the selected one) Control Pack (one-time purchase) – unlocks all control features: - Power: shut down, reboot and wake your NAS via Wake-on-LAN - Apps/containers: start, stop, redeploy, update (single & all) - VMs: start, stop, restart - Services: start/stop - Pools: start/stop scrub - Datasets: create, edit, delete, lock/unlock - Shares: create and enable/disable (SMB, NFS, iSCSI, NVMe-oF) - Data protection: run/abort/toggle Snapshot, Cloud Sync, Replication, Rsync, TrueCloud and Cron tasks - Live Activities (with paired agent) - AI assistant: ask questions about your NAS – fully on-device via Apple Intelligence, no cloud Tip (optional): small, medium or large support for development. Unlocks no features. GOOD TO KNOW - Without the Control Pack the app is fully usable read-only – you won't control anything by accident. - Wake-on-LAN must be enabled on your NAS first (BIOS/UEFI + network card) and only works on your local network, not remotely. - The AI assistant requires an Apple Intelligence-capable device with Apple Intelligence enabled. - All purchases are one-time – no subscriptions. NAS Guard is an independent project and is not affiliated with iXsystems or TrueNAS.
