LocalForge Mobile

Read full description

LocalForge is the panel for self-hosting your game servers — and this is its mobile companion. From your phone, control the servers running on your PC or VPS through the free LocalForge desktop app. What you can do: • Start, stop and restart your servers with a tap. • Watch the live console and send commands (e.g. in Minecraft). • Create and restore backups to your own S3 storage. • Schedule automatic restarts and backups. • See live CPU and memory usage. • Manage your team: invite sub-users with roles (viewer, operator, admin). • Switch between multiple machines (your desktop and your VPS agents). Supported games: Minecraft, Valheim, Palworld, Rust and more — each in its own isolated container. Private by design: your server configuration and backup credentials are end-to-end encrypted with your own key. We can't read them. Important: this is a COMPANION app. You need the free LocalForge desktop app (Windows, macOS, Linux) running at least one server, plus a subscription (Hobby or Team) for remote control and cloud sync. The desktop app is free forever for local hosting. Auto-renewable subscriptions: • Hobby — cloud sync, audit log, and one sub-user seat. • Team — everything in Hobby, plus team members and roles. Payment is charged to your App Store account. Your subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel anytime in your account settings.
