Bhiu is a calm, independent app for your own OpenWrt router. See your network's pulse at a glance, then act on it — without opening a browser or remembering a single command. Bhiu talks only to the router address you enter, and to nothing else. There is no account, no analytics, and no Igney server in between. PULSE A live traffic wave and one plain sentence telling you how the network is doing. Download and upload as they happen, uptime, memory, WAN address, and the full routing table when you want the detail. DEVICES Everything on your network in one list, with names, addresses, signal strength and how long each has been connected. Tap any device for the full picture — and pause its internet access with one button when you need to. WI-FI Every radio and SSID your router exposes, with the clients on each. Turn a guest network off for the evening and back on in the morning. CONTROL Restart a service, wake a sleeping machine over the network, or reboot the router and watch it come back on its own. BUILT FOR THE JOB - Save more than one router and switch between them from Settings. - Connects over HTTP or HTTPS, with certificate pinning for routers using a self-signed certificate. - Degrades gracefully: router firmwares differ in what they expose, so a feature yours does not offer dims instead of breaking the app. - No third-party frameworks of any kind — Apple's system frameworks only. NO ROUTER HANDY? Tap "Try the demo" on the welcome screen and explore every feature against a fully simulated router: live traffic, the device list, pausing a device, Wi-Fi toggles, service restarts, Wake-on-LAN, and a complete reboot cycle. REQUIREMENTS An OpenWrt router with LuCI installed (ubus and rpcd reachable over HTTP or HTTPS) and its administrator password. Wake-on-LAN additionally needs the etherwake package on the router. Tested against OpenWrt 21.02 — other versions with LuCI installed are expected to work. Bhiu is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the OpenWrt project.
