Grafium opens the dashboards and alerts from your self-hosted Grafana® on iPhone. Panels are drawn with native iOS charts, and the app only reads data: it never edits your dashboards or alert rules. • Time series, stat, gauge, bar chart, table, heatmap, logs, state timeline, geomap and other panels keep the colors, units and thresholds from the dashboard. • Change dashboard variables, pick a time range and turn on auto-refresh. • Open a panel full screen and drag across the chart to read exact values. • See firing and pending alert rules first, with their instances and labels, and open the panel behind an alert. • Pin the dashboards you check often and search across folders. • Add several servers. Sign in with an API token, username and password, LDAP, JWT, auth proxy or SSO, or connect anonymously. GRAFIUM PRO • Instant Alerts: a Time Sensitive notification the moment an alert fires, quietly replaced when it resolves. Needs Grafana 12 or later; one tap sets up the Grafium contact point on your server. • Widgets: a panel's value or chart and your firing alerts on the Home Screen, the Lock Screen and in StandBy, plus a Grafium Alerts button in Control Center. Widgets refresh about every 15–60 minutes, as iOS allows, and always show when they were last updated. Grafium Pro is an auto-renewable subscription, monthly or annual, with a free trial for new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://znhv.dev/grafium/terms Privacy Policy: https://znhv.dev/grafium/privacy Grafium has no account of its own, no tracking and no ads. Tokens and passwords stay in the iOS Keychain, and showing a saved one takes Face ID or your passcode. To look around first, tap Try Demo on the first screen. It connects to a public demo server with live dashboards and alerts. Requires Grafana 9 or later, reachable over HTTPS with a trusted certificate. Self-signed certificates are not supported.
