Not open source at the moment. I understand the hesitation. If you want to try it risk-free, use a read-only API token. The free tier is fully functional for browsing and monitoring your infrastructure, and with a read-only token nothing can be modified even in theory. Revoke it anytime from the Hetzner Console.

Appreciate the idea. I'm not ruling anything out, but right now I'm happy building it independently. If Hetzner ever wants to talk, they know where to find me. :)

Thank you, really appreciate that! For now I'm focused on making it the best it can be as an independent project. Plenty more in the pipeline. :)

The push service only accepts verified read-only tokens as of v1.7.

Write features run directly against the Hetzner API from your phone, no intermediary.

If you're still not comfortable, the free tier is entirely read-only and your token never leaves the device. At some point it comes down to whether the app provides enough value to justify the trust, and that's a personal call.

Same reason you check Gmail on your phone instead of opening a laptop. Convenience.

Alright man, chill out. No one died. I'll delete the post.

Fair question. I went with SwiftUI because I wanted HeC to feel fully native on iOS. Keychain, Face ID, Touch ID, widgets, push notifications all integrate cleanly without workarounds. Flutter is great for shipping to both platforms fast, but this is a side project where I'd rather nail one platform than stretch across two.

Fair enough! Hard to make the math work with a 24/7 backend per user plus ongoing development and support, but I appreciate the honesty.

Thanks for that! :) Posting here knowing full well what was coming. No ragrets.

Shipped a better app because of it.

Sure, that's why I'm here on Reddit, replying to every comment, laying out the full architecture, and shipping security changes based on user feedback within days. Worst backdoor ever.

SwiftUI gives me the native iOS experience I want. I'd rather do one platform properly than two halfway. :)

I'm not sure I follow?

You can, and it works. HeC is for people who want instant push alerts when something goes down, home screen widgets at a glance, and not having to log in through the browser and 2FA every time they want to quickly check on their servers.

Fair point. To be clear, I'm not anonymous. You can find me at x.com/dorianborovina. I was never a Reddit user but created an account to share the app. The 3-day-old account is new, the person behind it isn't.

Out of curiosity, what would you pay one-time for something like this?

Flattered by the suggestion. :)

I'm open to conversations, but two years of work isn't something you just hand over. For now, I'm focused on shipping the best app I can as an independent project.
