Description

Keel is a mobile client for TrueNAS Community Edition (SCALE). Check your server's health, manage apps, run backups and handle alerts from your phone, without exposing anything to the internet.

What it does

  • Live dashboard with CPU, memory, network and pool health
  • Apps: live usage, start, stop, redeploy, upgrade with changelog, roll back, edit configuration, container logs
  • Storage: pools, datasets, snapshots, scrubs, and snapshot, replication and cloud sync tasks
  • Alerts with optional background notifications
  • Services, updates, reporting graphs, boot environments, network and audit log
  • VMs, LXC containers, SMB and NFS shares, users
  • Several servers, with a home screen widget for alert counts

Want to look around first? Tap "Try a demo server" to explore every screen with sample data, no server needed.

Built for security

  • Signs in with SCRAM-SHA-512, so your API key never crosses the network
  • Stores only derived keys, encrypted in the Android Keystore behind your fingerprint or PIN
  • Pins self-signed certificates and refuses public addresses unless you opt in
  • Only shows the actions your API key's roles allow, with stricter confirmation for riskier ones
  • No analytics, ads, crash reporting or Google services. It talks only to your server.
