Headmin!
Read full descriptionHide full description
Headmin is a native admin console for Headscale, the open-source, self-hosted control server for Tailscale-based networks. Point it at your own server and manage your entire tailnet from your phone โ no dashboard tab required. CONNECT TO YOUR OWN SERVER Enter your Headscale URL and API key once. Your credentials are validated and then stored securely on-device, in your phone's Keychain or Keystore โ never on our servers, because we don't have any. Headmin talks directly to your Headscale instance. USERS List, create, rename and delete users in seconds. NODES See every device on your network at a glance: online status, IP addresses and tags. Rename a node, move it to a different user, expire its key, or remove it entirely. Generate pre-auth keys with custom expiry, reusable or single-use, tagged for your ACLs. ROUTES View every subnet route and exit node your devices advertise, and approve or disable them individually. ACL POLICIES Edit rules, groups, tag owners and hosts through a visual editor, or drop into a raw HuJSON view for full control. BUILT FOR SELF-HOSTERS Headmin has no backend of its own and no account system โ it's a thin, secure client for the server you already run. Your data stays between your phone and your infrastructure. Requires an existing Headscale server and an API key (generate one with `headscale apikeys create`).
TethrX
Read full descriptionHide full description
TethrX is a native, private, independent remote for Grok Build, SpaceXAI's terminal coding agent. Your phone is only a control plane, Grok, its tools, and your code stay on your own machine. TethrX connects to a small open-source bridge you run on your computer. โข Watch Grok work in real time โ thoughts, commands, file edits, and their output. โข Approve or reject every tool call โ from the app, or straight from a push notification on your lock screen. โข Plan mode โ Grok drafts a plan; you review and approve it before it builds. โข Review what changed โ per-file diffs, commit or discard from your phone. โข Queue follow-ups, branch sessions, schedule recurring tasks, dictate messages. โข No accounts, no tracking, no third-party servers. Your phone talks only to your bridge, direct, over Tailscale, with certificate-pinned HTTPS. Requires your own Grok Build install (SuperGrok / SuperGrok Heavy / X Premium+) and the TethrX bridge running on your computer (npx tethrx-bridge). Setup takes a couple of minutes. TethrX is an independent client and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by SpaceXAI. "Grok" and "Grok Build" are trademarks of their respective owner.
