FlarePilot is an app that lets you manage your Cloudflare account directly from your phone. Once you sign in to Cloudflare, you can view and manage key features including domains, DNS, traffic analytics, security, R2, and Workers from the app. Key Features • Dashboard View the current status of your account and Zones at a glance. Frequently checked information such as traffic, request volume, and security events is brought together in one place. • Domains & DNS View your registered Zones and add, edit, or delete DNS records. You can also manage DNS settings such as whether the Cloudflare proxy is enabled. • Analytics Select a time range to review request volume, bandwidth usage, cache performance, blocked threats, and other statistics. • WAF & Security Review allowed and blocked requests, and check security information such as attack types, source IP addresses, and request distribution by country. • R2 Browse R2 buckets and objects, and upload or delete files. • Workers Check the status and execution logs of deployed Workers and manage related settings. • Account & Authentication Cloudflare accounts are primarily connected through Cloudflare’s official OAuth login. If you use an API token, you can choose the required permission scope yourself, and your credentials are stored securely on your device. FlarePilot does not operate a separate server to relay Cloudflare API requests. Your account credentials and API requests are handled directly between your device and Cloudflare without passing through our servers.
