PocketADM is a mobile-first command center for the servers you host yourself. Connect to your own Linux box and run the whole thing from your phone. • Live dashboard: CPU, memory, disk, uptime and network at a glance, with every container grouped and one tap from its logs. • A real terminal: a full terminal with a mobile key bar and copy & paste. Open a shell as your own host user, the app, or exec into any container. • Assistant: an optional AI agent that runs commands, reads and edits files and fixes things directly on your server. It streams live, asks before anything destructive, and you bring your own API key (or run a local model). • One-tap app store: deploy popular self-hosted apps as clean Docker/compose projects with friendly config forms. • Smart updates & health: spot outdated images, roll back safely, and get plain language security and health checks. PocketADM is open source (MIT). There is no account with us and no tracking. The app talks only to the servers you add, over a direct connection. You run the server software yourself with a single install command from pocketadm.com. Just looking? Add the demo server demo.pocketadm.com with username and password 'demo' to explore a read-only sandbox.
