TrueDash: TrueNAS in your pocket. Built with security and privacy in mind. TrueDash is a fast, native iOS dashboard for your TrueNAS SCALE server. Monitor your system, manage your apps, storage and backups, and get push alerts when something needs attention, all in an app built on Apple's Liquid Glass design for iOS 26. Security & privacy first Your server, your data, nobody else's. TrueDash is engineered so your credentials and data never leave your control: • No analytics, no tracking, no ads, no third-party servers. • Credentials (API keys, passwords, tokens) are stored only in the iOS Keychain. • Sensitive values stay hidden on screen until you reveal them, and re-hide while your screen is recorded. • Every connection is verified with certificate pinning (Trust On First Use) to guard against interception. • Works over your local network or your own WireGuard VPN, and TrueDash never proxies your data through us. Monitor at a glance • Live dashboard: CPU, memory, network and disk I/O, uptime and system health. • Storage pools with capacity, topology and scrub status. • Disk health: temperature, error counts and drive details for every disk, with a clear warning when one needs attention. • Backups: see every snapshot, replication, Cloud Sync and rsync task and whether its last run succeeded. • Active jobs and system alerts, front and center, with TrueNAS's own guidance on how to fix them. • Customize your Status layout: reorder and hide cards to see what matters to you. Manage everything • Apps: start, stop, restart and update your TrueNAS apps, view their logs, and open their web interface with one tap. • App settings: change ports, CPU and memory limits, timezone, folders and environment variables without opening the web UI. • Stacks & Containers: control Portainer stacks, containers and virtual machines, including older VMs, with a force stop for an unresponsive one. • Shares: view your SMB and NFS shares, toggle them on or off, and choose which users can reach an SMB share. • Users: manage SMB access, lock or unlock accounts, and reset passwords. Push notifications, self-hosted Get alerted about low pool space, degraded pools, app updates and TrueNAS system alerts, delivered through a lightweight notifier you install on your own TrueNAS with a single tap. No cloud account required. Ready for what's next Built for TrueNAS 26 and its new API, and designed to make full use of larger screens.
