About this app

The official Rust companion app from Facepunch Studios – stay connected to the game so you never miss an important moment again. Coordinate with your team, receive alerts when you’re being raided, remotely set off traps, and more!

Requires the Rust game - available on macOS and PC. Rust Console Edition is not supported at this time.

PAIR WITH YOUR SERVERS
Pair with your favorite Rust servers to receive real-time updates for the things that matter the most: player counts, current game time, online teammates, and more. You’ll also get (optional) push notifications whenever one of your teammates joins the game.

KEEP UP WITH YOUR TEAM
Communicate with your team from anywhere to just catch up or plan for your next raid. Messages are visible in both the app and the in-game team chat so you can seamlessly switch between the two.

CONTROL YOUR IN-GAME DEVICES
Connect Smart Switches and Smart Alarms to your in-game electrical contraptions and pair them with Rust+ to control them remotely at any time. Smart Switches let you turn things on or off, and Smart Alarms send customizable push notification alerts when an electrical signal is detected.

EXPLORE THE MAP
View the full server map to see all monuments, your teammates, and points of interest.

GET THE LATEST RUST NEWS
Get notified about new Rust blogs and news so you can stay on top of the latest updates, or catch up on older blogs you may have missed.

Ratings and reviews

The idea is great but the execution of late has been poor. It can be incredibly difficult to pair a server to the app and when you do it will send you notifications, usually, but when you go into the app to view a server it will often say the server is offline. It definitely needs work and this could be an issue with a servers host but you'd think this would be worked out. So far as I can tell Facepunch doesn't/hasn't commented on these issues.

great idea for an app and useful for setting up raid alarms, could easily be 5 stars if a few things weren't true. #1 whenever you look at a server 90% of the time it says server offline, despite this the server is completely up and running and your smart alarms etc are still working with the app, this issue basically bricks the app most of the time and makes it hard to activate your smart switches when needed and view cameras.

The app never connects to servers anymore. It's been broken for a while, but I used to be able to spam retry and eventually connect. I've tried on three different servers multiple times in the last week and after pairing, I have not been able to connect a single time. It's a shame because this app used to be really useful to control doors and sam sites while playing. Changing my review to 4 stars, because this was fixed upon updating the app. you have to manually update within the settings.
