About

MONII

Features
Read full description

MONII is a mobile command center for your Vercel and Netlify deployments. Watch spend in real time. Stop runaway bills with a swipe. Ship without surprises. Why MONII You deploy to Vercel or Netlify. Your bandwidth bill is one viral tweet away from quadrupling. Your build minutes burn while you're at lunch. You can't see any of it without a laptop and three browser tabs open. MONII fixes that. Open the app, see today's spend, watch active builds, get pushed before usage crosses 70% / 90% / 100%, swipe to arm the kill switch if something's gone sideways. Features - Radar tab: real-time spend hero, live bandwidth and build-minute usage bars, hot project burn rate - Grid tab: every deployment across both providers, filterable by Live / Building / Failed, swipe-right to roll back - Insights tab: spike warnings, platform arbitrage opportunities, idle preview cleanup - Kill switch: swipe-to-arm — pauses a Vercel project or locks a Netlify site instantly, with iOS-native haptics - Face ID gate: env vars and sensitive actions require biometric confirmation, auto-relocks after 30 seconds - Push alerts: get woken up before the bill blows up, not after How it works Sign in with Apple, Google, or GitHub. Tap "Sign in with Netlify" — Netlify's OAuth flow runs in an in-app browser, your token comes back encrypted into the iOS Keychain. For Vercel, paste a personal access token (Vercel doesn't offer indie OAuth). MONII never sees your credentials in plaintext. Optional: enable Background Monitoring and MONII servers will poll every 15 minutes, encrypt your token at rest, and push you the moment something spikes. Off by default — your tokens stay on your phone unless you opt in. Built for operators, vibe coders, and shipping in your sleep. Companion CLI + MCP server open source at https://getmonii.com you can swap MONII into your local Claude / Cursor workflow for free.
