## Description

StackWatch is a powerful, privacy-first server monitoring app for Android that connects directly to your Linux servers over SSH — no cloud account, no third-party relay, no data leaving your network.<br><br>** Real-time system metrics **<br>Monitor CPU, RAM, and disk utilisation in real time. StackWatch streams live data from your hosts and presents it in a clean, at-a-glance dashboard so you always know how your machines are performing.<br><br>** Docker &amp; container management **<br>See every running and stopped container at a glance. Restart, start, stop, pull, or recreate individual containers without leaving your phone. Compose project grouping lets you manage stacks as a unit. Tail live logs for any container directly in the app.<br><br>** 30-day metric history **<br>StackWatch stores a rolling 30-day history of CPU, RAM, and disk metrics so you can spot trends, investigate incidents, and export data as CSV for further analysis.<br><br>** Push alerts **<br>Set custom warning and critical thresholds for CPU, RAM, and disk. StackWatch sends a push notification the moment a threshold is crossed — no polling delays, no missed alerts.<br><br>** Home screen widgets **<br>Three widget sizes keep your fleet status one glance away: a compact 1×1 badge, a 2×2 single-server status card, and a 4×2 fleet overview showing up to four servers at once. Tap any server row to jump straight to its dashboard.<br><br>** Service monitors **<br>Define HTTP or TCP checks for web services, APIs, and databases. StackWatch probes them on a schedule and reports availability alongside your system metrics.<br><br>** Command center **<br>Run shell commands on one or all of your servers simultaneously. Save frequently-used commands as snippets with labels, tags, and favourites for quick reuse.<br><br>** Remote file browser **<br>Browse, upload, download, rename, and delete files on your servers over SFTP. A built-in text editor lets you make quick edits without leaving the app.<br><br>** Integrated SSH terminal **<br>Open a full interactive terminal session to any server with a single tap. Tab completion, history shortcuts, Ctrl keys, and a shortcut strip make it comfortable even on mobile.<br><br>** Privacy &amp; security **<br>All connections are end-to-end encrypted via SSH. Credentials are stored in Android&#39;s encrypted shared preferences and never transmitted to any external service. Optional biometric lock prevents unauthorised access.<br><br>StackWatch is built for developers, sysadmins, and homelabbers who want a fast, reliable way to keep an eye on their infrastructure from anywhere.
