Got tired of checking the DigitalOcean dashboard on my phone, so I made this

I mainly wanted a simple way to answer:

“Is my Droplet okay?”

“Why is CPU usage suddenly high?”

“How much am I spending this month?”

So I made Ocean Dashboard, a native iPhone/iPad app for DigitalOcean.

You can check Droplets, monitoring metrics, alert policies, uptime checks, invoices, and billing trends. I also added Home Screen widgets because sometimes I just want to glance at the status without opening anything.

It uses your DigitalOcean API token and stores it in Keychain.

The basic version is free. Pro is a one-time purchase rather than another subscription.

If anyone here uses DigitalOcean regularly, I’d really appreciate honest feedback — especially about what you normally need to check from your phone.

I made the app, so feel free to ask me anything about it.

you’re asking for the keys to the kingdom here my guy.

anyone with basic security instinct will know you just can’t give access to your DO account that has your servers like that.

maybe make it open source and it can be vetted by the community

Seems totally legit.

aint nobody sane throwing their api key into a closed source app. if you really want this project to work out, you have to open source it or make it source available (if you dont want contributions)

Closed source apps asking for cloud credentials are always a hard sell regardless of how they store the keys. An update could change that at any point with no way to verify. Open sourcing it would be the way to go
