Your servers, at a glance. Nothing to install on them. Nodeglance connects straight to your Linux servers over SSH, or to your own Beszel hub, and shows CPU, memory, disk and network in real time, with a history you can scrub through. No agent on the server. No account. No analytics. Your keys stay in your Keychain. SEE IT. THEN FIX IT, FROM THE SAME APP • SSH terminal with host verification and encrypted keys • Docker: see containers, restart them, read logs • Processes, services and recent logs, read-only, so you can look without breaking anything BUILT FOR MAC, IPHONE AND IPAD • Mac keeps monitoring while the app runs, even with the window closed • iPhone and iPad refresh while the app is open • On Mac, let your AI agent check on servers through local MCP: you choose the servers and approve every command. It never sees your SSH credentials. INCLUDED AND OPTIONAL Two connections are included. Unlimited connections and the server tools (console, Docker, diagnostics, agent access) are available as an in-app purchase.
