Un Bien is a native client for the Pi coding agent (http://pi.dev). Pair your phone with your own machines over a relay you host, then attach to running agent sessions: live transcripts with styled edit diffs and tool results, inline images, thinking blocks, plan & subagent panels — and an interactive prompt for ask-style clarifications. Steer mid-turn or queue follow-ups; launch new sessions on paired machines (opt-in, machine-side). Self-hosted by design: there is no Un Bien cloud, no account, and no telemetry — your relay, your keys, your machines. Includes a read-only demo mode so you can look around without any setup.

About

RelayPulse

Features

RelayPulse puts your server fleet in your pocket. SEE EVERY SERVER AT A GLANCE One screen shows the whole fleet: online, warning, stale and offline counts, plus total bandwidth. Each card carries what matters - the service you watch, connections, download and upload, CPU, RAM and disk. KNOW WHEN SOMETHING IS WRONG, NOT ONLY WHEN IT IS DOWN A server can answer while the service that matters has stopped. RelayPulse checks the systemd service you choose - a web server, a database, containers, a relay, a node - and the ports it should listen on, so you find out while it is still fixable. FLEET HEALTH A dedicated view ranks what needs attention right now and lists the busiest servers, so a hundred machines stay readable. REAL TOOLS, NOT JUST CHARTS Read service logs, see the top processes and disk usage, check the agent endpoint - over SSH, straight from the phone. Nothing runs until you confirm it. NO AGENT REQUIRED Add a server with its address and your SSH key or the server's password, and RelayPulse reads it directly. Nothing is installed on the server. An optional open-source metrics agent gives faster readings for large fleets. YOUR KEYS STAY ON YOUR PHONE Log in with an SSH key or with the server's own password, such as the root password from your VPS provider - the same choices as RelayPulse on the Mac. Create a key on the device and install it with one tap, or paste your own. Keys and passwords stay in the iOS Keychain. No accounts, no server of ours, no analytics, no ads. OPTIONAL AI DIAGNOSIS Bring your own OpenAI or Anthropic key and let the app summarise what went wrong and suggest the fix. Off by default. The key is stored in the iOS Keychain and sent only to the provider you chose, together with the error and the log lines it needs. The app never runs a command on its own. FOR RELAY OPERATORS Running Anyone Protocol relays? RelayPulse recognises them and adds relay tools - Nyx and the relay configuration - to those servers only. TRY IT FIRST Tap "Try Demo Fleet" on the first screen to explore the app with a sample fleet before adding your own servers. It is labelled as demo on every screen, and no server is contacted while it is on. FREE FOR A SMALL FLEET Monitor up to 3 servers free, with no feature withheld and nothing that expires. One purchase lifts the limit for your whole fleet. WHAT IT WORKS WITH Linux servers you administer yourself, reachable over SSH, with python3 installed - standard on Ubuntu, Debian and most distributions. RelayPulse is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the Anyone Protocol project.
