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.

Arrk is a native iPhone app for your Radarr and Sonarr servers. Browse your library, add missing titles, choose releases and track downloads without opening a browser. • Connect directly to your servers over local Wi-Fi or a VPN such as Tailscale. No Arrk account and no cloud relay. • Server addresses and API keys stay securely in your iPhone keychain. • Automatic discovery finds Radarr and Sonarr on your network, so you do not need to look up IP addresses or ports. • See upcoming movies and episodes from every server in one calendar, grouped by date, with premieres and finales highlighted. • Browse each library as a fast poster grid or compact list, with search, sorting and filters for available, missing and monitored titles. • See artwork, cast, ratings, seasons and files together on clear, detailed pages. • Add titles using your existing quality profiles and root folders, or search releases manually and compare quality, size and seeders. • Organise your library with Radarr and Sonarr tags: tag titles from their detail page or while adding them, and tidy up unused tags in server settings. • View both queues on one screen, follow progress in real time and get notified when a download finishes. Server health and free disk space are always close at hand. • Search your history of grabs, imports and failures, with the tools you need to deal with anything that gets stuck. • Make it yours with an accent colour, light or dark mode, haptics and animations. Available in English, Italian, Spanish, German and French. Arrk requires a Radarr and/or Sonarr installation that your iPhone can reach over local Wi-Fi or VPN.
