About

Hetzner Manager

Features
Read full description

Hetzner Manager is a native iOS and macOS server monitor and admin console for your Hetzner Cloud VPS fleet — built for the local-first, safe-operations model self-hosters and sysadmins actually trust. Add your Hetzner Cloud API token, start read-only, and elevate to full control only when you need it. Your token stays in the iOS Keychain. There is no backend, no token proxy, and no analytics — every request goes straight from your device to the Hetzner Cloud API. KEY FEATURES Fleet Dashboard See every server's status, region, and resource counts at a glance, with quick filters for running, offline, volumes, firewalls, and load balancers. Server Detail & Power Actions Start, stop, reboot, and power-cycle servers. Trigger snapshots. Every destructive action requires typed confirmation — the same guard rail used in production CLI tools. Full Resource Inventory Browse volumes, private networks and subnets, firewalls with inbound/outbound rules, load balancers with target health, DNS zones, SSH keys, and Storage Box usage — all in one place. Live Monitoring CPU, disk, and network graphs per server, fleet-wide health at a glance, and cost guardrails so nothing runs unnoticed. Hetzner Status Feed See Hetzner incidents and maintenance windows inside the console, next to the servers they affect. Multi-Project Support Switch between projects and tokens fast — production, staging, and lab environments without losing your place. PRIVATE AND SAFE Read-only token onboarding is the default. Your Hetzner API token is stored on-device in the iOS Keychain and never sent anywhere but Hetzner's own API. No accounts, no cloud sync, no third-party analytics or trackers. Face ID / Touch ID app lock, guarded operation profiles, and type-to-confirm on every destructive action keep accidental taps from becoming incidents. SUBSCRIPTION Full access to the app's operator features — power actions, snapshots, and guarded write operations across your whole fleet — requires an active Hetzner Manager Pro subscription. Without a subscription the app stays in free read-only mode: fleet dashboard, live monitoring, and resource inventory. Pro is available as a monthly, quarterly, or annual plan. Your subscription is managed and billed by Apple: payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, and it renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage the plan or turn off auto-renewal any time in your Apple Account settings. The app never sees or stores your payment details. BUILT FOR - Self-hosters and indie operators running production on Hetzner Cloud - Sysadmins who want a mobile emergency console without giving up control - Anyone who wants their Hetzner API token to stay on their own device REQUIREMENTS - A Hetzner Cloud project and API token - iOS 18 or later, or macOS 15 or later Privacy Policy: https://hetznermanager.avunia.com/privacy Terms of Use: https://hetznermanager.avunia.com/terms Hetzner is a trademark of Hetzner Online GmbH.
