Now with Control Center controls, Live Activities for long jobs, a cluster-wide dashboard, firewall rules and a native Mac app. Try it in the built-in demo cluster. Aprox runs your Proxmox VE cluster from your pocket, your iPad and — properly, natively — your Mac. On the Mac it is a real Mac app, built for macOS from the start: a menu bar extra that shows what is running without opening a window, real keyboard shortcuts, and consoles that open as proper resizable windows. The iPhone build is built for the other half of the job: the alert at dinner, the snapshot before the risky upgrade, the container that needs restarting from the train. OPERATE • Start, shut down, reboot, pause, hibernate, reset and stop VMs and containers • Snapshots — take, roll back, delete, with the RAM state if you want it • Back up now to any storage, and see every scheduled job and when it next runs • Clone a guest, full or linked, and migrate one to another node • Cluster and per-node task lists, with full logs and the ability to stop a running task SEE • A cluster-wide dashboard: capacity actually in use, what has been promised to guests, and whether that is a plan or a problem • CPU, memory, disk and network history for every node, guest and storage • Guest agent details — IP addresses, hostname, the OS that is actually running • Node maintenance: pending updates, failed services, disk and SMART health BUILD • Create VMs and LXC containers with guided wizards • Edit the hardware of both — disks, network, CPU, memory, devices — with every pending change listed before you apply it • Browse an appliance template catalog and download straight to a node • Storage browsing, upload, download-from-URL, and restore from any backup • Firewall rules at cluster, node and guest level CONNECT • A built-in VNC console with a real keyboard, plus SPICE and serial • Password, API token, two-factor and custom realm sign-in • Certificate pinning for self-signed clusters, which is most homelabs • Nothing leaves your device: Aprox talks to your cluster and to nobody else. No account, no telemetry, no relay server. LIVE ON YOUR DEVICES • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and Control Center controls that start a guest without opening the app • Live Activities that follow a migration or a backup to the Lock Screen • Siri and Shortcuts for every power action • Handoff between iPhone, iPad and Mac • Alerts when a node drops, a task fails or a backup does not run TRY IT WITHOUT A SERVER Aprox ships with a complete demo cluster that runs entirely on-device. Nodes, guests, snapshots, tasks, consoles — everything works, nothing is a screenshot. Open it before you type a single credential. APROX PRO The free app browses your cluster and shows you everything above. Pro unlocks the console, guest creation, hardware editing, storage management, snapshots, backups, clones, migration, node maintenance and alerts. Available monthly, yearly or as a one-time lifetime purchase, all with Family Sharing and a 7-day free trial on the subscriptions. Requires a Proxmox VE 7.0 or newer server that you already run. Aprox is an independent client and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH. Proxmox is a registered trademark of its owner.

Great app for proxmox!

Developer Response
Hi Smcline06,Thank you! Version 4 is a complete rewrite and worth a look: 2FA/TOTP and API-token login, a built-in VNC console, snapshots with rollback, backups and restore, clone and migrate, guided VM and LXC creation, hardware editing, firewall rules, a cluster-wide dashboard, alerts, widgets, Control Center controls, Live Activities — and a genuinely native Mac app.Requests and bug reports are very welcome at github.com/mKenfenheuer/aproxapp/issues.— Maximilian

I purchased the pro upgrade about a year ago now. When I was managing my Proxmox server fairly often in my homelab, this was my go-to. Now, whenever I open my app on either my phone or iPad, I’m given multiple popups saying the purchase restoration was unsuccessful and the features I paid for (the one-time lifetime purchase) are no longer available. I tried finding contact information for the developers and can’t find any on their website or here in the AppStore. Hopefully they see this and can help me troubleshoot what’s going on because I’d hate to lose the money I invested in this platform or have to move elsewhere when this one is extremely convenient.

Hi jdlarrimo,Two things you were right about, both fixed.The purchase: repeated "restoration unsuccessful" popups came from the old receipt-validation code. Aprox 4 verifies entitlements through StoreKit 2 directly, with no cache that can go stale. Restore Purchases is in Settings, Family Sharing is on, and your lifetime purchase carries over — you are not paying again.The contact: there was nowhere obvious to reach me, which was my fault. There is now a public tracker at github.com/mKenfenheuer/aproxapp/issues, and Settings › Diagnostics › Report an Issue opens a prefilled report with a redacted log attached.The rest of v4 is a rewrite: built-in VNC console, snapshots, backups, clone and migrate, hardware editing, a cluster dashboard, alerts, and a native Mac app.— Maximilian

Please add a section that shows the notes under each machine. I frequently need access to the machine notes so I can’t use just this app. I still have to use the WebUI

Developer Response
Hi dannyboyjaros,Straight answer: guest notes still aren't surfaced as their own field, and that's a fair miss — I've filed it at github.com/mKenfenheuer/aproxapp/issues so it's tracked in public rather than lost.What this rewrite does add is most of the rest of the reason to open the web UI: full hardware editing for VMs and containers, guided VM and LXC creation, snapshots with rollback, backups and restore, clone and migrate, storage browsing with upload and download-from-URL, firewall rules, node maintenance, and a built-in VNC console with a real keyboard. Plus 2FA/TOTP login, a cluster-wide dashboard, alerts, and a native Mac app.— Maximilian

The app works well but...

The only problem is that the cpu values are not being calculated correctly outside of that it serves well to connect it via VPN and monitor the entire computer

Developer Response
Hi Jpwoekfnsj,Good catch, and it's fixed. The old app read the CPU figure straight from the API without weighting it by core count, so a busy single-core guest and a lightly loaded 16-core node looked similar. Aprox 4 computes cores actually in use against cores available, per node and cluster-wide, and shows both the instantaneous figure and the history.That's part of a full rewrite: 2FA/TOTP and API-token login, a built-in VNC console, snapshots, backups and restore, clone and migrate, hardware editing, a cluster-wide dashboard covering capacity and commitment, alerts, widgets, and a native Mac app.If a number still looks off, please tell me at github.com/mKenfenheuer/aproxapp/issues.— Maximilian

- Added a way to import the servers saved by an earlier version of Aprox - Fixed an issue where, on some devices, servers on the local network could not be reached, saved or signed in to - Fixed an issue where the console stayed blank for servers with a self-signed certificate - Fixed an issue where a server entered as a full web address could not be reached - Improved the diagnostics for local network access and the console
