StarfloaTik is a clean, fast and secure manager for MikroTik Hotspot — built for vessels, crews, fleet managers and network administrators who run onboard or onshore Wi-Fi from their phone. One app, two modes: Admin for the person who manages the router, and Crew for everyone who uses the Wi-Fi. CREW MODE Turn it on in one tap. Each crew member logs in with their hotspot login and gets their own screens: - Traffic and GB left, time online and their devices — live. - Notices and announcements from the admin, and personal notices just for them. - Vessel chat and direct chats phone to phone over the vessel Wi-Fi — no internet and no traffic needed. Photos, reactions and replies. - Messages and top-up requests to the admin. - GB transfers to other crew members and a one-time limit for their own session. For the admin, Crew Manager keeps it all in one place: who is online, chat, GB transfers, session limits, announcements, personal notices and crew requests such as password changes — approve in one tap. ADMIN MODE Connect directly to your RouterOS device over its native API and get full control in seconds: - Live dashboard — model, RouterOS version, uptime, CPU and memory load, real-time WAN traffic chart. - Hotspot users — create users and vouchers, edit, enable, disable or remove them. Assign profiles, set traffic limits, reset counters one by one or in bulk. - Active sessions — who is online right now: username, IP, MAC, uptime, live speed and traffic used. Disconnect anyone in one tap, or everyone before maintenance. - Profiles — shared users, rate limits, session and idle timeouts. - Router tools — bridges and interfaces, firewall rules, hotspot servers, DNS, Wi-Fi settings, scripts and scheduler, router time. - Notice to crew — a pop-up and banner on the hot.spot login page, with ready templates. - Your hot.spot pages — new design with your own background and app download buttons, updated straight from the app. - Telegram — top-up requests from the crew, daily traffic reports and a torrent detector that blocks torrent users automatically. - History and reports — every change is logged; History and Data reports with PDF export; back up the History to the router and restore it on a new phone. - Maritime zone map — territorial waters and your position on the map, with a distance tool. DESIGN Built in the iOS 26 Liquid Glass style: native glass buttons, menus and tab bar, smooth animations, two-column layouts on iPad, Face ID login. Available in English, Ukrainian, Filipino and Hindi. PRIVACY FIRST StarfloaTik connects directly from your phone to your router. No StarfloaTik servers, no analytics, no tracking. The crew chat stays on the vessel Wi-Fi, phone to phone. Your router password is stored only on your device and protected by Face ID. Try everything first in Demo mode — no router needed, for both admin and crew. Perfect for vessels, fleets, hotels, campsites and any place where MikroTik powers the guest Wi-Fi. Requires a MikroTik router with the API service enabled (port 8728) on the same network. Crew mode works on the router's hotspot Wi-Fi.

About

YoSC

Read full description

YoSC is a secure connection built for seafarers. Ship networks are hard. VSAT and Starlink links are shared by the whole crew, they change as you move, and connections drop for no obvious reason. YoSC is built specifically for that environment. ONE TAP Open the app and tap once. No servers to choose, no ports to configure, no settings to learn. FINDS THE BEST ROUTE, EVERY TIME YoSC probes every server and port in parallel and connects through the fastest one that actually responds - on each new network, automatically. When you move from the mess room Wi-Fi to the bridge, it re-checks and adapts. EUROPE AND US Pick a region or leave it on Auto and let YoSC choose the fastest reachable node for you. UNLIMITED DATA No caps, no throttling, no fair-use asterisk. PRIVACY BY DESIGN We do not log your browsing history, the sites you visit, your DNS queries, or the contents of your traffic. There are no analytics SDKs and no advertising in this app. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED No email, no password, no sign-up form. Your subscription is tied to your Apple ID and a hashed device identifier - nothing else. WORKS WHERE YOU DO Designed and tested on the kind of networks merchant crews actually use, not on office fibre. SUBSCRIPTION YoSC Premium is an auto-renewing subscription, weekly or monthly. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it any time in App Store → Subscriptions.
