GuardPilot DNS
AdGuard Home & Pi-hole
$5.99
The native way to run AdGuard Home and Pi-hole from your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
GuardPilot is a premium, native remote client for your DNS filtering servers — AdGuard Home and Pi-hole — built from the ground up for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. No web views, no cross-platform wrappers: just fast, elegant, pure SwiftUI.
Manage every server you run from one polished app.
LIVE DASHBOARD
See what matters at a glance: protection status, a server health score, today's queries and blocked ratio, response time, and version — all updating automatically.
QUERY LOG
Browse the DNS query log in real time with search, a blocked-only filter, and smooth infinite scrolling. Tap any query for full detail: client, type, timing, upstream, cache status, and the rule that matched.
STATISTICS
Beautiful Swift Charts show your traffic over time and rank your top blocked domains, queried domains, and clients.
FILTERS & RULES
Manage block lists and allow lists with per-list toggles and live rule counts, add new lists by URL, and refresh your subscriptions on demand with progress feedback. Edit your own custom filtering rules in a built-in editor.
CONFIGURE EVERYTHING
Go beyond monitoring and manage your server end to end: Blocked Services, DNS Rewrites, and Safe Search enforcement, plus upstream DNS settings, encryption (DoH/DoT/DoQ) status, and DHCP — all read and written live against your server. Review configured clients and their filtering settings.
MULTIPLE SERVERS, MULTIPLE PROVIDERS
Add unlimited instances of AdGuard Home and Pi-hole (v6), each with its own icon, accent color, and per-instance certificate trust. Switch instantly, or jump anywhere with the ⌘K command palette.
SECURE BY DESIGN
Your credentials live only in the Apple Keychain — never in logs, backups, or anywhere else. TLS validation is always enforced; trust for self-signed certificates is explicit and per-server. GuardPilot collects nothing and uploads nothing.
MADE FOR APPLE
Home Screen widgets, Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, Siri and Shortcuts intents, a macOS menu-bar item, keyboard shortcuts, a command palette, and a reorderable dashboard. Fully localized in English and German, with Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, and Reduce Motion supported throughout.
GuardPilot is an independent client and is not affiliated with AdGuard or Pi-hole.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
What's new in 1.0.0:
- Pi-hole support: add a Pi-hole (v6) server alongside AdGuard Home and monitor it from the same app — dashboard, statistics, query log, and protection toggle.
- Reorder your dashboard cards: drag to reorder on iPad and Mac, or use each card's Move Up / Move Down menu on iPhone. Your layout is remembered.
- Live Activities: pin protection status and today's queries to the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.
Thanks for using GuardPilot!
