Stackwatch - Server Monitoring

Criston Mascarenhas

About this app

StackWatch is a powerful, privacy-first server monitoring app for Android that connects directly to your Linux servers over SSH — no cloud account, no third-party relay, no data leaving your network.

** Real-time system metrics **
Monitor CPU, RAM, and disk utilisation in real time. StackWatch streams live data from your hosts and presents it in a clean, at-a-glance dashboard so you always know how your machines are performing.

** Docker & container management **
See every running and stopped container at a glance. Restart, start, stop, pull, or recreate individual containers without leaving your phone. Compose project grouping lets you manage stacks as a unit. Tail live logs for any container directly in the app.

** 30-day metric history **
StackWatch stores a rolling 30-day history of CPU, RAM, and disk metrics so you can spot trends, investigate incidents, and export data as CSV for further analysis.

** Push alerts **
Set custom warning and critical thresholds for CPU, RAM, and disk. StackWatch sends a push notification the moment a threshold is crossed — no polling delays, no missed alerts.

** Home screen widgets **
Three widget sizes keep your fleet status one glance away: a compact 1×1 badge, a 2×2 single-server status card, and a 4×2 fleet overview showing up to four servers at once. Tap any server row to jump straight to its dashboard.

** Service monitors **
Define HTTP or TCP checks for web services, APIs, and databases. StackWatch probes them on a schedule and reports availability alongside your system metrics.

** Command center **
Run shell commands on one or all of your servers simultaneously. Save frequently-used commands as snippets with labels, tags, and favourites for quick reuse.

** Remote file browser **
Browse, upload, download, rename, and delete files on your servers over SFTP. A built-in text editor lets you make quick edits without leaving the app.

** Integrated SSH terminal **
Open a full interactive terminal session to any server with a single tap. Tab completion, history shortcuts, Ctrl keys, and a shortcut strip make it comfortable even on mobile.

** Privacy & security **
All connections are end-to-end encrypted via SSH. Credentials are stored in Android's encrypted shared preferences and never transmitted to any external service. Optional biometric lock prevents unauthorised access.

StackWatch is built for developers, sysadmins, and homelabbers who want a fast, reliable way to keep an eye on their infrastructure from anywhere.
