About

Pilvi for Cloudflare

Features
Read full description

Pilvi is a Cloudflare client for iPhone and iPad. Your domains, your traffic, and the things you have deployed — read properly, on a phone. IT NEVER ASKS FOR AN API TOKEN Pilvi signs in through Cloudflare's own OAuth consent screen and keeps the result in your keychain. There is no server, no account to create, and nothing of yours ever reaches us — because there is no "us" for it to reach. Sign-in asks for read-only access; it asks for permission to change anything only at the moment you first change something. WHAT IT SHOWS • Domains — traffic, requests, data, threats and where visitors came from, on a world map • DNS — every record, with the orange cloud and TTL editable • Email Routing — rules, destinations, and a switch to turn a rule off • Certificates — including which of your proxied hostnames a certificate does not cover • Security events — what Cloudflare's firewall stopped in the last day, and which rule stopped it • Workers — requests, errors, and what each one is wired to • Pages — deployments, builds and custom domains • D1, R2, KV and Queues — what they hold, and how close today is to the free plan's limits • Tunnels — connectors, the data centres they reach, and what is on the other side ONE PAYMENT €9.99, once, for all of it. Not a subscription. There is no PRO badge anywhere in this app and no feature behind a second purchase — the whole thing works or none of it does. Try it for fourteen days first. Everything is included in the trial; nothing is crippled while you decide. IT TELLS YOU WHEN IT DOES NOT KNOW Cloudflare answers a permission you did not grant with an empty list rather than an error, which is indistinguishable from an account with nothing in it. Pilvi separates the two everywhere, and ships a Permissions screen so you can see exactly what your authorization covers. Alerts arrive as notifications when iOS wakes the app in the background — which may be twenty minutes or several hours. That is a real limit and it is stated in the app, not buried here. Pilvi is not a monitoring service, and Cloudflare's own email and webhook alerts remain the right tool for anything urgent. HAVE A LOOK FIRST There is a demo account on the sign-in screen with sample data in it. No Cloudflare account needed to see what the app does. Cloudflare is a registered trademark of Cloudflare, Inc. Pilvi is an independent app and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Cloudflare, Inc.
