About

Coly for Self

Features
Read full description

Coly is a native client for the self-hosted deployment platforms you already run โ€” Coolify, Dokploy, EasyPanel, Portainer, Temps, and Towbar โ€” so you can check on a deploy or restart a stuck service without opening a laptop. Add every instance you manage. Switch between teams and providers from one screen, and see the same dashboard whether you're on Coolify or Dokploy. WHAT YOU CAN DO โ€ข See every resource's real status at a glance โ€” running, deploying, stopped, or in error โ€ข Start, stop, restart, or trigger a fresh deploy, each behind a confirmation step โ€ข Browse projects, servers, and deployment history, and read logs on the spot โ€ข View environment variables, and edit them where the provider allows it โ€ข Get notified in the background when a deploy finishes, fails, or health changes BUILT FOR SELF-HOSTERS Your API credentials are stored only in this device's Keychain. Coly never sends them anywhere but the instance you point it at. Coolify and Dokploy are fully supported for viewing and control. EasyPanel, Portainer, Temps, and Towbar are read-only today. PREMIUM Unlimited connections and background health alerts. Monthly or yearly, cancel anytime. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Coolidash puts your self-hosted Coolify instances in your pocket. Connect one or more Coolify servers over HTTPS with an API token, then watch and control your infrastructure from your iPhone. WHAT YOU CAN DO โ€ข See applications, services and databases in one filterable list โ€ข Start, stop and restart any resource โ€ข Redeploy an application, or rebuild it without cache โ€ข Read build logs, with live refresh while a deployment runs โ€ข Check machine health: reachability, proxy and resource counts โ€ข Revalidate a server that went unreachable โ€ข Get notified when a build starts, succeeds or fails BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO SELF-HOST Your API tokens never leave the device. They live in the iOS Keychain and are never written to files or logs. Coolidash talks straight to your own server: no Coolidash backend, no proxy, no third party in the middle. Every sensitive action - stopping a service, restarting a database, redeploying - asks for Face ID or your passcode first. Coolidash is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Coolify project. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
