Meows: SSH Monitor & Terminal

Li Bainan

About this app

Meows is a pocket SSH companion for anyone who runs Linux servers or VPSes. Add a server's IP and login, and you get real-time monitoring, a full terminal, Docker control and a toolbox of network utilities, with nothing installed on the server.

Everything works over plain SSH. No agent, no daemon, no extra ports, no cloud in between.

MONITORING
• CPU, memory, disk and network at a glance, with live up/down traffic
• History charts for 9 metrics, switchable 1/2/5-minute spans
• Top processes, mount points and per-interface breakdowns
• Threshold alerts for CPU, memory, disk or a server dropping offline, merged and debounced so your phone isn't spammed
• Server card with OS, kernel, region, datacenter, ASN and failed SSH login count
• Streaming & AI availability checks: Netflix, Disney+, YouTube Premium, Prime Video, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Google Scholar

TERMINAL
• Full interactive SSH terminal: nano, vim and htop all run fine
• Semantic coloring for permissions, paths, IPs and percentages
• Follows your system theme, with a key row for arrows, Ctrl and Esc
• Bastion / jump host support for boxes without a public IP

DOCKER
• Start, stop and restart containers right from the server card
• Live container logs, no remote API port to expose

NETWORK & DEV TOOLS
• TLS certificate, DNS, WHOIS and IP lookup
• Subnet calculator, cron builder, regex tester, base converter, timestamp and chmod tools
• Linux command cheat sheet and C standard library reference

PRIVACY FIRST
• Credentials encrypted with AES-GCM via Android Keystore, kept on your phone only
• Zero telemetry, zero analytics, zero tracking. Nothing phones home
• One runtime permission (notifications), and even that can be denied
• Privacy mode blocks screenshots, screen recording and the recents thumbnail
• Encrypted backup to your own Google Drive, protected by a master password
• Fully native, no third-party libraries

One-time purchase. No subscription, no ads, no in-app purchases.
Requires Android 14 or newer.
