Your Pi-hole, in your pocket. Pi-hole Remote finds the Pi-hole on your network and puts it under your thumb — the blocking switch, the numbers, and the log of everything your devices ask for. No IP address to hunt down, no account to create, and nothing about you leaves your phone. Set up in seconds Tap once. The app sweeps your network, finds your Pi-hole, and all that's left is your password. If it lives somewhere unusual — a custom port, HTTPS with a self-signed certificate, a path behind a reverse proxy — you can type the address in yourself. Pause blocking, then forget about it Something won't load? Pause for thirty seconds, five minutes, an hour — and it turns itself back on. No more discovering a week later that protection has been off since Tuesday. See what your network is really asking for Every query, as it happens: which device asked, which domain, and whether it was blocked, cached or forwarded. Search it, filter it, and find out why that one app is so chatty. Block or allow with a swipe An ad slipped through? Swipe the row and it's blocked. A site broken by the blocklist? Swipe and it's allowed. The rule is written straight to your Pi-hole, with one tap to undo it if you swiped the wrong row. Your lists, your rules Check your adlists, run a Gravity update, and manage the allow and deny rules you've made — flip one to the other side or remove it, all from the phone. Built to be private No account. No analytics, no advertising, no third-party SDKs of any kind. Your Pi-hole's password lives in the iOS Keychain on your device, and your DNS data goes from your Pi-hole to your screen and nowhere else. There is no server of ours for it to sit on. == What's inside: - Automatic discovery — no IP address needed - Manual entry for custom ports, HTTPS, self-signed certificates and reverse-proxy paths - Pause blocking for 30 seconds, 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or until you switch it back on - Live counters and a 24-hour chart of queries, blocked, and block rate - Top blocked domains, top allowed domains, top clients, and upstream servers - Full query log with search and filtering by blocked or allowed - Swipe any query to allow or block that domain, with undo - View, flip and remove your own allow and deny rules - Adlists overview and one-tap Gravity update - Unlimited Pi-hole instances, switched instantly - App Password and two-factor authentication supported - Designed for dark mode, with full VoiceOver support - Available in 15 languages == Note: Pi-hole Remote is a remote control. It needs a working Pi-hole, version 6.0 or newer, running on your own network — the app does not block anything by itself. Pi-hole® is a registered trademark of Pi-hole LLC.
