ProxNode is a focused mobile companion for Proxmox users who want fast access to their infrastructure from anywhere. Monitor node health, check VM status, and trigger key actions without being tied to a desktop. The interface is designed for clarity, speed, and daily operations. ProxNode keeps critical information up front—online/offline states, live metrics, and quick actions—so you can make decisions quickly. When you need deeper access, open the SSH terminal and work directly on the host, or switch to Demo Mode to explore the app safely before connecting to production. Your server credentials stay on your device, and ProxNode does not collect or share your infrastructure data. Whether you manage a homelab or production systems, ProxNode brings Proxmox management to your pocket with a fast, reliable experience.
