HetzBOT is an independent iPhone client for Hetzner Cloud. Manage your project resources directly from your device using the official Hetzner Cloud API. SERVER CONTROL Browse your fleet, power servers on and off, reboot, review activity and metrics, change server names and labels, and manage snapshots. Rescue mode and root password reset are available in server tools where supported by the installed operating system. Root reset requires a working QEMU Guest Agent. NETWORK AND SECURITY Review firewalls and their rules, connect or disconnect firewalls from servers with explicit risk warnings, and manage reverse DNS for supported Primary and Floating IP addresses. Browse networks, volumes, load balancers, SSH keys and other Cloud resources. Some advanced resource operations remain read-only in this version. LOCAL AUTOMATIONS Create on-device schedules for supported server and snapshot workflows. iOS can suspend apps in the background: HetzBOT does NOT guarantee unattended runs while the app is closed. Missed executions are reported instead of performing delayed destructive actions. Schedules stay bound to their originating Hetzner project. PRIVATE BY DESIGN API tokens are stored in the iOS Keychain. Requests go directly to Hetzner Cloud from your iPhone. No HetzBOT account, mandatory backend, subscription or third-party analytics is required. Try the built-in demo before connecting a project. HetzBOT is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Hetzner Online GmbH.
Hetzner Manager
Read full descriptionHide full description
Hetzner Manager is a native iOS and macOS server monitor and admin console for your Hetzner Cloud VPS fleet — built for the local-first, safe-operations model self-hosters and sysadmins actually trust. Add your Hetzner Cloud API token, start read-only, and elevate to full control only when you need it. Your token stays in the iOS Keychain. There is no backend, no token proxy, and no analytics — every request goes straight from your device to the Hetzner Cloud API. KEY FEATURES Fleet Dashboard See every server's status, region, and resource counts at a glance, with quick filters for running, offline, volumes, firewalls, and load balancers. Server Detail & Power Actions Start, stop, reboot, and power-cycle servers. Trigger snapshots. Every destructive action requires typed confirmation — the same guard rail used in production CLI tools. Full Resource Inventory Browse volumes, private networks and subnets, firewalls with inbound/outbound rules, load balancers with target health, DNS zones, SSH keys, and Storage Box usage — all in one place. Live Monitoring CPU, disk, and network graphs per server, fleet-wide health at a glance, and cost guardrails so nothing runs unnoticed. Hetzner Status Feed See Hetzner incidents and maintenance windows inside the console, next to the servers they affect. Multi-Project Support Switch between projects and tokens fast — production, staging, and lab environments without losing your place. PRIVATE AND SAFE Read-only token onboarding is the default. Your Hetzner API token is stored on-device in the iOS Keychain and never sent anywhere but Hetzner's own API. No accounts, no cloud sync, no third-party analytics or trackers. Face ID / Touch ID app lock, guarded operation profiles, and type-to-confirm on every destructive action keep accidental taps from becoming incidents. SUBSCRIPTION Full access to the app's operator features — power actions, snapshots, and guarded write operations across your whole fleet — requires an active Hetzner Manager Pro subscription. Without a subscription the app stays in free read-only mode: fleet dashboard, live monitoring, and resource inventory. Pro is available as a monthly, quarterly, or annual plan. Your subscription is managed and billed by Apple: payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, and it renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage the plan or turn off auto-renewal any time in your Apple Account settings. The app never sees or stores your payment details. BUILT FOR - Self-hosters and indie operators running production on Hetzner Cloud - Sysadmins who want a mobile emergency console without giving up control - Anyone who wants their Hetzner API token to stay on their own device REQUIREMENTS - A Hetzner Cloud project and API token - iOS 18 or later, or macOS 15 or later Privacy Policy: https://hetznermanager.avunia.com/privacy Terms of Use: https://hetznermanager.avunia.com/terms Hetzner is a trademark of Hetzner Online GmbH.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HetzBOT at none against Hetzner Manager's 3. HetzBOT also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18). Hetzner Manager's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
