About HomeLab Watcher

A quieter way to keep an eye on your lab.

HomeLab Watcher is a native status companion for self-hosters who want a trustworthy glance at the systems they already run.

What it does

HomeLab Watcher gathers the latest known health of the resources you select and presents it in one calm view on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Widgets make that same information available at a glance.

The app supports generic HTTP and HTTPS health checks along with read-only Beszel and Proxmox VE integrations. You choose what matters; the app shows the latest result and how old it is.

What it does not do

HomeLab Watcher is not a cloud monitoring service, remote administration console, or guaranteed-alert system. It does not run commands, manage a VPN, change infrastructure, or promise real-time outage notifications.

Honest status

A failed connection attempt does not prove that a resource is offline. When a refresh cannot complete, HomeLab Watcher preserves the last known observation and clearly labels the failed attempt and the age of the information.

Widgets refresh when iOS allows. They show freshness so a result is never presented as live when it may be old.

One-time lifetime unlock

The app has a free path for trying the core experience. A single $4.99 non-consumable purchase unlocks the full set of supported integrations, additional resources, and widget options. There are no subscriptions, accounts, or external payment links.
