DOCSIOS is a native companion app for DOCSight, the open-source DOCSIS network monitoring tool. It brings your cable connection metrics to iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, widgets, and Live Activities. Get a clear overview of your connection health with signal-family cards, mini charts, range bars, recent events, collector status, speed test results, and monitoring data. DOCSIOS helps you understand downstream and upstream power, SNR/MER, modulation, OFDM/OFDMA, and uncorrectable errors without digging through raw modem data. Open focused details for channels, trends, modulation, events, speed tests, monitor targets, segment utilization, comparisons, BQM, Smokeping, snapshots, incidents, exports, and complaint workflows. The Apple Watch app and Home Screen widgets make it easy to check your connection at a glance. Local badges, notifications, and Live Activities help you keep track of relevant status changes and unacknowledged events. DOCSIOS communicates exclusively with your self-hosted DOCSight instance. No diagnostic data is collected, sold, or transmitted to third parties by DOCSIOS. DOCSIOS requires a running DOCSight backend. Full functionality requires a recent DOCSight version with current dashboard and signal-family metric support. DOCSIOS is an independent community project and is not developed or maintained by the official DOCSight team.

Image Watcher: Track Docker image updates across all your stacks. Filter by status โ€“ updates available, errors, ignored โ€“ and trigger a fresh check with a single tap. Trivy CVE Scanner: Scan every image in your homelab for known vulnerabilities. Browse results by severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low), filter by tapping the severity cards, and open any CVE directly in your browser.

Schedules, on-save triggers and restore tests can all be configured directly in the app. Docker Resources: Manage images, volumes and containers โ€“ inspect sizes and states, stop containers, delete resources and prune dangling images, with a confirmation step before every destructive action.

A special-keys bar brings Ctrl, Tab, Esc, pipe, tilde and arrow keys to your iPhone, and four terminal themes are available: Default, Solarized Dark, Monokai and Nord.
