GatusPocket brings your self-hosted Gatus status pages to your iPhone in a focused native interface. Save several HTTPS-reachable Gatus connections, keep one active at a time, and sign in with Basic auth or a bearer token. Each connection keeps its credentials, cached statuses, pins, runbooks, and recent status changes separate on your device. With GatusPocket you can: - Review endpoint health at a glance - Switch between saved Gatus connections - See the newest 20 genuine endpoint status changes for each connection - Filter directly to services that need attention - Pin important endpoints for faster access - Open endpoint details with recent checks, failing conditions, response time, HTTP status, and hostname - Save runbook links for endpoints on your device - Keep the last successful status snapshot available during temporary network issues - Show the latest app-saved status summary in a Home Screen widget - Keep the small widget count-only and choose whether the medium widget may show connection and endpoint names GatusPocket is a read-only companion for operators who already run Gatus and want quick mobile status checks without another monitoring backend. Requirements: - An existing Gatus instance reachable over HTTPS - Access to GET /api/v1/endpoints/statuses - Basic auth or bearer-token credentials
