Palworld, Minecraft Java—and even the apocalypse. Server Dock is an unofficial iPhone and iPad app for monitoring and managing your dedicated game servers. Monitor Palworld, Minecraft Java Edition, and 7 Days to Die servers—all in one app. You can manage the servers. The zombies, unfortunately, are beyond our control. Supported Connections • Palworld: REST API / RCON • Minecraft Java Edition: Server List Ping / RCON • 7 Days to Die: Telnet / game query checks Key Features • Server setup by game and connection method • Availability, response times, player counts, and server details • Player lists and details • Kick, ban, unban, and other moderation tools • Connection diagnostics • Local and VPN destinations with switching • Multiple servers, favorites, and bulk refresh • Manual and foreground auto-refresh • Standard and compact server-list layouts • Player trends and weekday-by-hour heatmaps • Home Screen widgets • iCloud settings backups • Auto-Lock prevention and a screen saver • English, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese 7 Days to Die Use Telnet to check the server version, player count and details, in-game date and time, and the next Blood Moon. Player details can include entity and platform IDs, IP address, ping, level, status, statistics, and coordinates. View locations on a coordinate map without terrain data. Supported servers can save the world, send messages, kick players, create timed bans, show the server ban list, unban players, shut down normally, and run Telnet commands. The live console offers raw and summarized logs, search, auto-scroll, pause, automatic reconnection, and command entry. Palworld The REST API provides player information, server settings, metrics, Game Data, and a simplified server map. Record server FPS on-device and view daily, weekly, and monthly trends. RCON supports player retrieval, messages, world saves, kick, ban, unban, server stop, and custom commands. Game Data features require the server’s Game Data API. Minecraft Java Edition Server List Ping checks availability, version, MOTD, online and maximum player counts, and response time without a password. Adding RCON enables player lists, world saves, messages, kick, ban, unban, server stop, and custom commands. If the server does not publish player names, only the player count is shown. With RCON, Server Dock attempts to retrieve names using the “list” command. Free Version The free version supports one server, manual refresh, status monitoring, player lists and details, and supported actions such as kick, ban, and unban. Both Local and VPN destinations can be saved and switched manually. Full Version The Full Version is a one-time purchase. It unlocks multiple servers, automatic and bulk refresh, Home Screen widgets, server-wide operations, ban history, Palworld Game Data and maps, player and server FPS trends, iCloud backup creation, automatic Local/VPN switching, Auto-Lock prevention, and the screen saver. For 7 Days to Die, it also unlocks world status, the player coordinate map, world saves, messages, normal shutdown, and the live console. Before You Begin Server Dock requires a supported dedicated game server that you manage. Features vary by game, connection method, and server configuration. Automatic refresh runs while Server Dock is visible. Only Minecraft Java Edition is supported. Bedrock Edition, TPS history, and plugin integrations are not supported. Palworld REST API, RCON, and 7 Days to Die Telnet are server-provided connection methods that do not encrypt traffic; this is not a Server Dock limitation. Never expose management ports directly to the internet. Use a trusted LAN or a properly configured VPN such as WireGuard or Tailscale. Server Dock is an unofficial server-management app. It is not official, affiliated with, or endorsed by Pocketpair, Inc., Microsoft, Mojang Studios, or the teams behind supported games. Games and server software are not included.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Server Dock at every 2 days against RustMaster's monthly. RustMaster's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
