PocketADM
Your server in your pocket
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
No more SSH-ing from a laptop to fix a container at 11pm. PocketADM puts the whole box (metrics, logs, updates, terminal and an AI engineer) one tap away.
PocketADM is a mobile-first command center for the servers you host yourself.
Connect to your own Linux box and run the whole thing from your phone.
• Live dashboard: CPU, memory, disk, uptime and network at a glance, with every
container grouped and one tap from its logs.
• A real terminal: a full terminal with a mobile key bar and copy & paste. Open
a shell as your own host user, the app, or exec into any container.
• Assistant: an optional AI agent that runs commands, reads and edits files and
fixes things directly on your server. It streams live, asks before anything
destructive, and you bring your own API key (or run a local model).
• One-tap app store: deploy popular self-hosted apps as clean Docker/compose
projects with friendly config forms.
• Smart updates & health: spot outdated images, roll back safely, and get plain
language security and health checks.
PocketADM is open source (MIT). There is no account with us and no tracking. The
app talks only to the servers you add, over a direct connection. You run the
server software yourself with a single install command from pocketadm.com.

Ratings & Reviews

PocketADM 2.0 is a new app. Rebuilt from the ground up as a native iPhone app.
• Server overview: domains and where they lead, services and timers with their journal and start, stop and restart, cron jobs, Docker stacks and drives. PocketADM finds all of it on any server by itself.
• Themes: Midnight, Ocean, Aurora, Forest, Sunset, Terminal, Nord, Paper, Arctic and Rosé, plus the iOS look in light or dark.
• The assistant knows your server: it reads PocketADM's own records (updates and how they ended, activity, disk and memory over time, health) and keeps notes by topic that you can pin, edit and have tidied up.
• Attachments in the chat: photos, screenshots and files from the iPhone, or files, folders, containers with their logs, the server overview and health findings from the server.
• Every answer says which model wrote it. For Mistral Vibe you pick the model, including GLM and Mistral Large through your API key.
• Connecting a Claude subscription is more reliable: a clear message when a code does not fit, or paste a token from 'claude setup-token'.
• The watch, as a chat, with notifications on the iPhone. The assistant keeps working when you leave the app.
• Files like an editor: edit with undo, upload, move, unpack, change permissions.
• Updates say what changes. Activity, Health and Apps are more compact.
The newest features need PocketADM 0.26 on the server. Run the installer again to update it.
