Your mobile command center for Render, Netlify and Vercel If you have ever been pinged at 2 AM about a service that fell over, debugged production from a coffee shop, or pushed a hotfix from a train, you know the cost of carrying a laptop everywhere. RenDeploy is a quiet deployment app for Render, Netlify and Vercel that puts every service, site and project one tap away — restart, redeploy, watch live logs, and ship the fix without opening a terminal. Your API tokens never leave the device and go straight to each provider, with no backend of ours in the middle. Every feature described below is unlocked only with an auto-renewable subscription purchased inside the app. New users receive a 3 day free trial; you may cancel anytime during the trial to avoid being charged. Open the app and the monitor lists every Render service, Netlify site and Vercel project with status at a glance, colored for health and grouped by workspace so a personal side project and a client production deploy never blur together. Tap a service to restart it during an incident, trigger a fresh manual deploy when a build needs a kick, or open the live logs to watch a deploy stream and a runtime tail in real time. Environment variables are visible safely for on-the-go debugging, deploy history records every release and who shipped it, and multi-account support lets you flip between providers and workspaces in one tap. The deployment app also handles the awkward middle ground between fully fixing a bug and waiting until you reach a desk: a rollback to the previous green deploy is one tap, a build that is mid-stream can be cancelled without forcing a manual git revert, and the production deploy view surfaces commit messages so you can confirm exactly what is shipping. Push notifications fire on failed deploys, recovered services and unusual status flips, so you are told once when something matters and left alone the rest of the night. The git deploy flow lets you trigger from any branch your service is configured for. Providers differ and the app never pretends otherwise: build logs come from Render and Vercel, environment variables and cost estimates are Render only, cache-clearing deploys work on Render and Netlify. What a provider does not expose is labelled, not faked. Communication runs directly to api.render.com, api.netlify.com and api.vercel.com over HTTPS, with an offline cache that keeps the last-seen status visible when the signal drops in a tunnel. There are no web views, no analytics and no third-party trackers, and the dev tool side of the app — log search, environment variable inspection, deploy history filters — works entirely against the cached state when you are offline. Built for solo founders, indie hackers, on-call backend engineers and small teams running production on Render, Netlify or Vercel, this hosting monitor is designed to handle the moment when a phone is the only thing you have. Interface ships in 39 languages with full VoiceOver support. Unlock with Pro: • Unlimited services across Render, Netlify and Vercel • Live deploy and runtime log streaming (Render, Vercel) • One-tap restart and manual deploy triggers • Environment variable viewing (Render) • Deploy history with release authorship Subscription Pricing & Terms Features require a subscription.
