Your base gets raided while you're asleep โ€” by the time you check your phone, it's already gone. Raid Alarm turns Rust raid alerts into real phone calls that cut through sleep, silence, and "I didn't see my phone." YOUR WHOLE TEAM GETS THE CALL Solo, duo, trio, clan, or zerg โ€” it doesn't matter. Pair your server once and every teammate's phone rings the second your base takes damage. No one misses a raid because they were AFK on Discord. SMART RAID GUARD โ€” ONLY THE CALLS THAT MATTER Random gunfire nearby shouldn't wake your whole team. Raid Guard filters the noise and only rings you for real threats, so you trust every call instead of muting the app after day one. ONE SWITCH, ENTIRE BASE โ€” SMART AUTOMATION Link every turret, trap, and light to a single smart switch โ€” one tap arms your whole base. Set it to run on in-game time: defenses auto-arm at nightfall (20:00), stand down at sunrise (07:00) โ€” even while you're offline or asleep. SERVER SEARCH & FAVORITES Find and pair your active Rust server in seconds with secure Steam login โ€” no passwords stored. Save favorites and jump between servers instantly. RAID CALCULATOR Know exactly how much sulfur, how many rockets or C4 a base costs to crack โ€” before you commit a single resource, offense or defense. WIPE COUNTDOWN Live countdown to the next force wipe, so you're never caught off guard on a fresh map. Note: Alarm delivery depends on your phone's sound settings (Do Not Disturb silences calls) and Rust server/Facepunch infrastructure โ€” any delay originates from the game server, not the app. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: This is an UNOFFICIAL third-party application.

About

RustHub

Features
Read full description

RustHub is a companion app for the survival game Rust on PC: a server browser with wipe tracking, item and monument databases, a raid calculator, a farming gene planner and a raid scheduler, together on your iPhone and iPad. One thing it is not: RustHub is a companion and server-tracking utility for people who play Rust on a computer. It is not a playable mobile version of the game. Not An Official App RustHub is an independent companion app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by Facepunch Studios. Rust is a trademark of Facepunch Studios. Server, item and monument information is assembled from public sources and the game itself, and can lag behind a game update. Find A Server Worth Your Next Wipe Search Rust servers and filter by region, country, map type, difficulty (vanilla, softcore, hardcore, primitive), wipe schedule, group limit, official or community, modded or not โ€” then sort by last wipe or next wipe to land on a fresh map. Server pages show the current map, wipe times, player count and connection details, and you can copy or share the address with your team in one tap. Wipe Alerts For Servers You Actually Play Favourite a server and choose the notifications you want: map wipes, full wipes, and a reminder ahead of the monthly force wipe. The wipe schedule on the server page shows what is coming, including blueprint wipes. The Item Database Look up an item mid-run: stats and attributes, crafting costs, research and tech tree costs, recycling yields, loot sources, where to find it, and mixing table recipes. The database is cached on your device, so the answer is there even when your connection is not. Raid Calculator Open a wall, a door or any building block and see what it takes to get through: C4, rockets, explosive ammo, satchels and the rest, so the boom you farmed all wipe is not spent on the wrong wall. Monuments, Puzzles And CCTV Codes Monument pages cover the loot found there, keycard puzzle routes, NPC and enemy spawns, recyclers, mining and vending information, CCTV camera codes and a layout map, where the monument has them โ€” read the run before you commit to it. The Farming Gene Planner Type in the gene strings from your planters (G, Y, H, W, X) and RustHub works out which clones to cross-breed toward your target โ€” growth, yield or a balanced mix โ€” with the odds shown before you spend seeds on a bad cycle. Plan The Raid, Not Just The Fight Schedule a raid and a reminder is created on this device for the time you set. Add targets by their SteamID and check when they were last online. Three scheduled raids are free; RustHub Pro removes the cap and adds raid start reminders plus alerts when a tracked target comes online or goes offline. RustHub Pro Free gets the server browser, wipe alerts, the item and monument databases, the raid calculator, the gene planner and three scheduled raids, supported by ads โ€” and you can switch ads off for 24 hours at a time by watching a rewarded ad. Pro removes the ads and unlocks the raid tools: unlimited scheduled raids, a reminder the moment a raid starts, and alerts when a tracked player comes online or goes offline. Following servers, wipe alerts and the force wipe countdown are free and stay free. Monthly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase, billed by the App Store and restored from it. No sign-up is needed to browse. A free account syncs favourites, notifications and raids across devices, and you can delete it from inside the app at any time.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Raid Alarm at none against RustHub's shown. RustHub's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 5 days). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
