Server by ShanApps
Local Database & REST API
$2.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Server by ShanApps gives you a real, self-hosted backend server that runs directly on your iPhone or iPad. There are no cloud signups, no remote servers to configure, and zero data leaves your device.
If you build web apps, work with Flutter or React Native, test APIs, or just want an offline-first SQLite database running locally on your device, this app was made for you.
What you can do:
• Run isolated servers locally
Start one or more backend instances on any port you choose (such as 8090, 8091). Each server keeps its own independent SQLite database and file storage directory so your projects never mix up data.
• Built-in Web Admin Dashboard
Open the web admin panel directly from the app or through Safari on your local network. Browse your SQLite collections, edit records, manage schemas, and test queries with a clean visual interface.
• Realtime events & REST API
Every server provides a full REST API with realtime Server-Sent Events (SSE) out of the box. Test client subscriptions, authentication flows, and file uploads directly over your local network.
• Connect from any device
Whether you are on home Wi-Fi, using a personal hotspot, or testing through local loopback (127.0.0.1), your laptops, tablets, and test devices can connect immediately. The app displays your live network interfaces and generates a quick QR code for fast pairing.
• 100% offline & completely private
Everything runs on your device's processor and storage. There are no user accounts, no telemetry, no tracking libraries, and no analytics. Your data belongs to you.
Designed for developers, students, and hobbyists who want a quick, reliable backend environment right in their pocket without messing with cloud servers or Docker setups.
