About

HomelabGlance

Read full description

Homelab Glance is a native dashboard for the self-hosted server you already run. It reads from the open-source "glance" aggregator and shows your containers, media, downloads, and storage at a glance — on your Home Screen, in widgets, in a Live Activity, and in a Mac menu-bar app. There's no Homelab Glance account and no cloud. The app talks only to the glance server on your own hardware. Point it at your server once and everything appears. AUTO-DETECTED SERVICES Rich cards for the apps it recognizes — Jellyfin, Sonarr, Radarr, and more — and clean generic cards for everything else, built from what's actually running. WIDGETS & LIVE ACTIVITY A configurable at-a-glance view for Home Screen and Lock Screen, plus a Live Activity that tracks a download or job from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. CONTAINER CONTROLS Start, stop, and restart containers from the app — gated behind a separate control token you set, so read-only and control access stay distinct. ON YOUR MAC The same dashboard in a menu-bar app, one click away. SIRI & SHORTCUTS Actions are App Intents, so your homelab is scriptable and Siri-accessible. TRY IT WITHOUT A SERVER Demo mode is on by default with sample data, so you can explore the whole app before connecting. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Homelab Glance collects nothing. Your server address and tokens stay in your device's Keychain and traffic goes straight to your own machine — over your LAN or securely over Tailscale. The aggregator it talks to is open-source and self-hosted by you.

Cheatly is a fast, offline reference for single-player cheat codes across 84 classic and modern games. Everything ships inside the app. There is no sign-up and no account, and no internet connection is required to read a cheat — open it and the entire database is already there, even in airplane mode. The app is free, paid for by ads. BUILT FOR ACTUALLY FINDING A CODE • 3,300+ cheats, organised by game and by category • Search across the whole library by cheat name or by what it does • Filter by game, or by category — Player, Weapons, Vehicles, World, Weather, Wanted Level and more • Save any cheat to Favourites for the codes you use constantly CODES SHOWN THE WAY YOUR PLATFORM SHOWS THEM The same cheat is rarely the same input twice. Pick your platform once and every code is rendered correctly for it: • Controller sequences drawn as real button chips, colour-matched to the hardware • PC console commands as clean, copyable text • In-game phone numbers where a game uses them • A clear note when a game simply has no code for your platform Tap to copy any code straight to the clipboard, or have it read aloud when your hands are on the controller. MADE TO BE PLEASANT • A dark interface designed for playing at night, with Light and System themes available • Button sequences light up in order, so you can read a long combo at a glance • Pin the games you play most to the top • The cheat database is fully offline, so searching stays instant anywhere PRIVACY The cheat database never leaves your device, and neither do your favourites or settings. The app is supported by Google AdMob ads; you are asked before anything is used to personalise them, and declining still gives you the whole app. ABOUT Cheatly is an independent, unofficial reference guide.
