NodePass vs DevStash

NodePass is a control plane for NodePass masters and Nowhere OpenCtrl controllers: every tunnel you run, on every host, in one app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. Add a master with its URL and API key, scan a QR code or open an np:// link, and the app keeps a live picture of it: instances and their state, throughput, connections, latency and logs, plus the host's CPU, memory and network. Start, stop and restart from anywhere. Edit a tunnel as typed parameters with their defaults explained, or as the raw URL. Masters sync through your private iCloud to every device; keys never go anywhere else. LIVE, NOT POLLED • Server-Sent Events keep every instance current the moment it changes. Polling takes over when a stream drops. • Throughput sparklines, connection counts and latency per instance. CPU, memory, swap and network gauges per host. • Search by name, endpoint, tag:value or #tag. Filter, sort and group by status, type, traffic, latency, auto-restart or any tag. ACT ON MANY AT ONCE • Select instances and start, stop, restart, reset counters, delete, set the auto-restart policy or stamp a tag on all of them, with a per-instance report at the end. EDIT WITH CONFIDENCE • The instance URL becomes a table of parameters. Every known key gets a control matched to its type, with its default and whether it applies to the role; unknown keys stay editable. Switch to the raw URL at any time; validation runs as you type. • See the stored URL next to the configuration the master actually runs, with the defaults it injected called out. • A log console per instance with level filters, follow mode and export. TOOLS • TCP Ping from one master or all of them. • URL Inspector explains every parameter of a NodePass or Nowhere URL and can turn it into a new instance. • API Console sends raw requests, with templates for every endpoint. WIDGETS • Master Overview shows the host gauges and the instances of one master, errors first. Masters shows the health of several at once. • Every size on the Home Screen and the Mac desktop, plus Lock Screen and watch face accessories. Rows open in the app. SIRI, SHORTCUTS AND SPOTLIGHT • Masters and instances are Shortcuts entities. Find Instances filters by status, type, master, endpoint or tag. • An action for every operation: status, start, stop, restart, reset traffic, auto-restart, create, delete, TCP Ping and open. • Say "Restart edge-tunnel in NodePass" or "Is edge-tunnel running in NodePass" and get an interactive card. Everything runs in the background without opening the app. ON APPLE WATCH • Your masters arrive from your iPhone; nothing to type. Health and counts in the list, host gauges and throughput for a master, live status and traffic for an instance. • Start, Stop, Restart and the auto-restart toggle on your wrist, with the same Siri and Shortcuts actions. • Complications for watch faces and the Smart Stack, where a master in trouble comes forward. ON iPAD • Instances fill the width beside the sidebar as a grid of live cards. The selection opens in an inspector: the host gauges, or the instance's controls, traffic, configuration, metadata and logs. ON THE MAC • A native macOS app: a sortable table with the columns you choose, multiple selection, grouping, an inspector and Activity Monitor-style host metrics. • Drag rows out as URLs; drop or paste a URL onto a master to create an instance. • Every operation in the menus, with keyboard shortcuts. Masters and logs in their own windows. • A menu bar item shows every master's health and keeps data flowing after the last window closes. • Desktop widgets with full instance lists and a fleet table. BOTH FLAVORS, ONE APP • NodePass masters (api/v1, server and client instances) and Nowhere OpenCtrl controllers (api/v2, portal, vector and egress instances) side by side. Pick the flavor or let the app detect it; trust self-signed certificates per master.
