About

Semaphore Remote

Features
Read full description

Semaphore Remote is an app for users who manage automation with Semaphore UI and need quick access to their tasks from a mobile device. Connect directly to your Semaphore server using a personal API token, browse projects and templates, launch new executions, monitor running tasks, and read raw task output when something needs attention. The app is designed for DevOps workflows where speed and simplicity matter. You can open a project, review available templates, start a run, force an execution when needed, check recent tasks, follow active jobs, and quickly jump to fatal messages, errors, warnings, or the last line of a log. Key features: • Connect to Semaphore UI using a personal API token • Browse projects, templates, and task history • Launch tasks from templates • Force task runs when needed • Monitor running, waiting, and pending tasks • Receive local notifications when monitored tasks finish • Read raw task output with line numbers • Search inside logs • Jump quickly to fatal, error, warning, or last-line matches • Share task logs as text files • Supports English and Italian Semaphore Remote does not require an external account and does not use tracking, analytics, or advertising. The app communicates only with the Semaphore server configured by the user. The server URL and API token are stored locally on the device and used only to authenticate requests to your Semaphore UI instance. Note: Semaphore Remote is intended as a mobile companion tool for quick checks and interventions. Local notifications depend on system background behavior and are not a replacement for server-side alerting.

Easy SSH puts your servers' command line in your pocket — securely, in Arabic and English, with no account and no tracking. WHY EASY SSH • A real terminal: Tab completion, Ctrl, Esc and arrow keys, colours, free scrolling through history, search and copy. • Key-based login: generate an ed25519 key inside the app and copy the public key to your server in one step, or import your existing OpenSSH / PEM key. Password login is supported too. • Host-key pinning: the server fingerprint is stored on first connection and checked before every authentication, so nobody can impersonate your server on public Wi-Fi. • Live monitoring with charts: CPU, memory, disk, load, network and top processes, refreshed every few seconds, with a 48-hour history on your phone and the server's own sysstat log when available. • 18 ready-made packs (130 commands), all read-only: server health, Docker, systemd services, network, logs, nginx, PostgreSQL, Git, Redis and more. No pack command deletes data or changes server state. • Your own shortcuts: one-tap buttons for the commands you repeat, with placeholders prompted at run time. • Live sessions: leave the terminal and the session stays connected; automatic reconnect when the network drops. • A complete in-app guide: what SSH is, your first connection, keys and fingerprints, security tips and troubleshooting. • Light and dark themes, adjustable font size, full right-to-left support. PRIVACY FIRST No sign-up, no analytics, no ads. Your servers and keys live only in your device's secure storage (Keychain). The only connection the app makes is your own encrypted SSH session to your server. WHO IS IT FOR System administrators, DevOps engineers, developers and site owners who want to check a Linux server, read a log or run a command while away from their desk — on a VPS, a cloud instance, a Raspberry Pi or a home lab.
