Features
Read full description

HexWrapper supercharges your HexOS server by enabling you to install any app from the TrueNAS catalog! While HexOS has a growing (but limited) set of curated apps, the TrueNAS catalog (where those curated apps come from) has nearly 400! HexWrapper allows you to browse that catalog and generate a custom install script for any of them, each based on the individual app's catalog metadata. Find the app you want to install on your HexOS server Tap "Wrap This App" Receive a complete, validated JSON install script instantly Copy the script Paste the script into the custom install window within your HexOS Dashboard Enjoy! BROWSE THE FULL CATALOG Search by name, filter by category or train (stable, community, or enterprise), and browse the full catalog -- complete with official icons! Select any app to view its description, version information, categories, and any extra requirements before choosing to wrap it. WRAP THIS APP One tap generates a custom install script locally — no account, no AI subscription. Each script opens in a collapsible JSON viewer with syntax highlighting. If anything needs your attention, inline validation banners explain what and why. Scripts are cached to disk so you're not re-fetching unnecessarily, and your wrap history syncs to the Mac app via iCloud. CONTRIBUTE TO THE CATALOG Want a Docker app that isn't in the TrueNAS catalog yet? Use HexWrapper to pull the metadata from a Docker Hub URL, assess readiness, and export a complete catalog bundle ready to be submitted to TrueNAS — compose template, environment variables, ports, and volumes included. Note: This is an advanced feature! Your mileage may vary. The Contribution feature is unlocked with full purchase. TRY IT FREE Your first generated script is free. Unlock unlimited Wraps and the Contribution feature with a single one-time purchase — no subscription, ever. Not only that but HexWrapper is a Universal app: buy once and HexWrapper will be unlocked on Mac, iPhone, and iPad! Requires iOS 18 or later.
