StarfloaTik is a clean, fast, and secure manager for MikroTik Hotspot users — built specifically for crews, fleet managers, and network administrators who need to control onboard or onshore Wi-Fi from their phone. Connect directly to your RouterOS device over its native API and get full control in seconds: - Live router dashboard — model, RouterOS version, uptime, CPU and memory load, real-time traffic on the WAN interface. - Hotspot user management — create, edit, enable, disable, or remove users. Assign profiles, set traffic limits, reset counters individually or in bulk. - Active sessions — see who is online right now: username, IP, MAC, uptime, current download/upload speed, total traffic used. - One-tap kick — disconnect any guest instantly, or kick everyone before maintenance. - Profiles — adjust shared-users, rate limits, session and idle timeouts directly from the app. - Bulk operations — disable all unlimited users, re-enable them, reset all counters, kick all sessions. - Bridge & interface management — move ports between bridges without opening Winbox. - Firewall toggle — enable or disable filter rules on the go. - Hotspot servers — turn entire hotspot servers on/off. - Action history — every change is logged locally so you always know what was done and when. Designed with a modern Liquid Glass aesthetic — translucent panels, soft blur, native iOS feel. Privacy-first: StarfloaTik connects directly from your phone to your router. No cloud, no analytics, no tracking. Your credentials are stored only on your device, protected by Face ID / Touch ID. Perfect for seafarers, hotels, vessels, fleets, RV parks, campsites, and any place where MikroTik powers the guest Wi-Fi. Requires a MikroTik router with API service enabled (port 8728) reachable on the same network.
