**Manage Linux servers from iPhone, iPad, and Mac — no browser tab, no agent, no control panel installed on your server.** goPanel connects directly over SSH and gives you a full native server control panel for managing websites, PHP, MySQL, domains, SSL, WordPress, cron jobs, firewall rules, logs, and more. A full server control panel experience in a native app — without cPanel or Plesk lock-in. ## NO SERVER LOCK-IN Unlike traditional hosting panels, goPanel installs **no permanent dependency layer** on your server. If you stop using the app, **your server keeps running exactly as it was**. Your websites, databases, SSL certificates, configs, and services stay intact. ## AI TERMINAL — YOUR SERVER EXPERT Ask things like: * “Why is this server slow?” * “Why is Nginx failing to start?” * “What’s using all the memory?” * “Why is this site returning 502?” The AI reads your server’s live state — CPU, memory, disk, services, logs, and configuration — and explains the issue in plain English. It can also suggest safe commands you can run with one tap. No guesswork. No endless SSH digging. No copy-pasting from forums. ## WHAT YOU CAN DO ### Monitor * CPU, memory, disk, load, uptime, and service status * Real-time system overview across your servers ### Host Websites * Add and manage Apache or Nginx virtual hosts * Safe config validation before applying changes ### Manage SSL * Issue, renew, and manage Let’s Encrypt certificates * Keep all your domains secure from one place ### PHP & Web Stack * Switch PHP versions per domain * Support for PHP 7.4 through 8.4 * Multi-version PHP side-by-side installs ### Databases * Create and manage MySQL / MariaDB databases and users * Set permissions without touching the command line ### WordPress * One-tap WordPress installs * Automatic database creation and setup ### Cron Jobs * Create, edit, and manage scheduled tasks ### Firewall * Block and unblock IPs * Works with common Linux firewall setups ### Logs * View Apache, Nginx, PHP, and system logs in real time ### Terminal * Full SSH terminal built into the app * AI-assisted troubleshooting included ## WORKS WITH YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE Supports major Linux server environments including: * Ubuntu * Debian * AlmaLinux * Rocky Linux * Amazon Linux Works with: * DigitalOcean * Vultr * Linode * Hetzner * AWS * self-hosted / bare metal servers ## FRESH SERVER?

Create views, stored functions and triggers without spending hours in the docs. ▸ USER MANAGEMENT Create MySQL users and assign privileges through three clear tabs: Account, Privileges, Password. ▸ AUTO-RECONNECT App went to background? No problem. MagicSQL keeps the connection alive with keep-alive pings and reconnects automatically when needed — no data loss, no need to re-enter anything. ▸ DARK THEME, CODING FONT Eye-friendly design with a professional monospaced font built for code. No distracting animations, no ads, no tracking — just tools that work. ▸ WHAT MAKES MAGICSQL DIFFERENT? Other mobile SQL apps often just display data. MagicSQL is a real mobile IDE: SSH tunneling for secure remote connections, multiple tables in tabs at once, an editor with live assistance, a visual designer — and all of it for five database systems. Optimized for fast thumb input, uncompromising on professional features. ▸ PRIVACY Your server credentials stay exclusively on your device. No cloud, no tracking, no ads. MagicSQL talks directly to your servers — nothing goes through third parties. ▸ SETTINGS Adapt to your workflow: connection timeout, keep-alive, auto-reconnect, default row limit, text size, NULL highlighting, syntax highlighting, query history, destructive-action confirmation — everything is respected. For developers, DBAs, DevOps and anyone who wants their databases under control everywhere. Download MagicSQL and work like a pro — from your couch, on the train, or in the server room.
