Telltale: System Mail Monitor

Status from your system mail

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Your servers already send mail about backups, disks and certificates. Telltale turns it into one status per service and tells you when a report fails or never arrives. Telltale reads the notification mail your servers and services already send and turns it into one status per service. You see at a glance what is wrong right now, and you get a notification when something changes. There is no agent to install, no server to run and no account. Telltale connects to the mailbox your system mail arrives in, over encrypted IMAP or POP3, and does all the work on your device. WHAT TELLTALE READS Built-in parsers understand Proxmox backups (vzdump and Backup Server), Plesk backups, certbot renewals, cron output, smartd disk warnings, ZFS events, mdadm RAID, apcupsd UPS events, fail2ban and unattended upgrades on Debian and Ubuntu. For anything else you build your own parser from a real mail and see the result while you edit. SILENCE COUNTS Telltale knows when a daily report is due. If it does not arrive, you are told on time, even with the app closed. CHECKS Next to mail, Telltale pings your hosts, tests TCP ports and web pages, and warns you before TLS certificates expire. DAY TO DAY - One list of everything that needs attention, worst first - Acknowledge, snooze or mute, with undo - Notification rules per severity, with time-sensitive alerts for critical problems - Charts of values such as backup duration or size - Your own dashboards - Widgets for the Home Screen and Lock Screen, a Control Center control, Siri and Shortcuts, Focus filters - An Apple Watch app with complications - Shared acknowledgements and rules for your team through iCloud PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your mail never leaves your device. Passwords stay in the Keychain. Telltale has no account, no analytics and no tracking. TELLTALE PRO The free version covers one mailbox with two custom parsers, three checks and one dashboard. Pro removes these limits and adds team sharing. It is available as a yearly subscription with a free trial or as a one-time purchase. Seeing problems, getting notifications and acknowledging them are always free. Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
