HetzBOT is an independent iPhone client for Hetzner Cloud. Manage your project resources directly from your device using the official Hetzner Cloud API. SERVER CONTROL Browse your fleet, power servers on and off, reboot, review activity and metrics, change server names and labels, and manage snapshots. Rescue mode and root password reset are available in server tools where supported by the installed operating system. Root reset requires a working QEMU Guest Agent. NETWORK AND SECURITY Review firewalls and their rules, connect or disconnect firewalls from servers with explicit risk warnings, and manage reverse DNS for supported Primary and Floating IP addresses. Browse networks, volumes, load balancers, SSH keys and other Cloud resources. Some advanced resource operations remain read-only in this version. LOCAL AUTOMATIONS Create on-device schedules for supported server and snapshot workflows. iOS can suspend apps in the background: HetzBOT does NOT guarantee unattended runs while the app is closed. Missed executions are reported instead of performing delayed destructive actions. Schedules stay bound to their originating Hetzner project. PRIVATE BY DESIGN API tokens are stored in the iOS Keychain. Requests go directly to Hetzner Cloud from your iPhone. No HetzBOT account, mandatory backend, subscription or third-party analytics is required. Try the built-in demo before connecting a project. HetzBOT is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Hetzner Online GmbH.
