Yet Another LuCI for OpenWrt

NightCode Technologies

About this app

Manage OpenWrt routers directly from Android with a modern, high-performance native interface built for administration, wireless monitoring, and network control.

Yet Another LuCI App (YALA) is a privacy-first mobile client connecting directly to your router via standard LuCI HTTP/HTTPS and ubus JSON-RPC APIs. Designed for speed, it provides a touch-friendly alternative to mobile browsers without depending on cloud servers, external accounts, or remote telemetry.
