Terms of use

Clear terms for a read-only status app.

Effective July 27, 2026.

The service

HomeLab Watcher is a local-first app that presents the latest known health of user-configured homelab resources. It is provided as a status surface only and is not an emergency, security, monitoring, alerting, or infrastructure-management service.

Your responsibilities

You are responsible for the systems, networks, and credentials you configure in the app. Use only credentials and endpoints you are authorized to access. Configure the least privilege that reasonably supports a read-only connection.

No guarantee of current information

Network conditions, source systems, and Apple platform scheduling can delay or prevent a refresh. Widgets refresh on a system-managed schedule. You must not rely on HomeLab Watcher for real-time monitoring, emergency response, or decisions where delayed or incorrect information could cause harm.

Purchases

HomeLab Watcher offers a one-time lifetime unlock as an Apple in-app purchase. Purchases, refunds, and restoration are governed by Apple’s terms and processes. The app does not offer subscriptions or an external payment flow.

Acceptable use

Do not use the app to access systems without authorization, interfere with services, or circumvent network or certificate security. The app is designed to be read only and must not be used as a substitute for secure administration practices.

Changes and contact

We may update the app, these terms, or supported integrations as the product evolves. If the terms change materially, the effective date will be updated. Contact support@shepswork.com with questions.
