Manage multiple servers, analyze network activity, and control key Pi-hole® functions on the go when secure remote access is configured.

IMPORTANT
Pi-hole® Monitor is not a DNS blocker and does not install a Pi-hole® server. You need your own reachable Pi-hole® v6 instance.

DASHBOARD AND DNS STATISTICS
• Overview of DNS queries and blocked requests
• Blocking rate and current statistics
• Top domains and top clients
• Allowed and blocked requests
• Query types, upstream servers, and activity over time
• Manual and automatic refresh

ANALYZE DNS QUERIES
• View all, allowed, and blocked queries
• Filter by domain, client, status, or time range
• Load long query lists progressively
• Jump directly to the related domain or client
• Identify unusual DNS requests faster

MANAGE PI-HOLE
Depending on the available feature set, important Pi-hole® areas can be managed directly in the app.
• Allow or block domains
• Edit allowlist and denylist entries
• Manage lists
• Organize clients and groups
• View network devices and DHCP leases
• Review system messages and FTL logs

CONTROL DNS FILTERING
Enable or disable DNS filtering directly from the app. Blocking can also be paused for a defined period, such as a few minutes or hours.

MULTIPLE PI-HOLE SERVERS
• Add and edit servers
• Switch quickly between instances
• Set a default server
• Use local servers, VPN connections, and reverse proxies
• Use custom HTTPS and port configurations

SYSTEM AND NETWORK INFORMATION
When provided by the server, Pi-hole® Monitor can display:
• Pi-hole®, FTL, and web versions
• Host and operating system information
• CPU, memory, and sensor values
• Network interfaces, gateway, and routes
• DHCP leases and DNS cache metrics
• System messages and FTL logs

HOME SCREEN WIDGETS
• Pi-hole® status and DNS statistics on the home screen
• Quick access to important information
• Control DNS blocking with an interactive widget
• Configure server, appearance, and refresh behavior

OPTIONAL NOTIFICATIONS
Pi-hole® Monitor can check in the background for new Pi-hole® messages and component updates.
For faster event-based push notifications, the app optionally supports UnifiedPush. This requires a compatible distributor such as ntfy and the separately installable PiHoleWatcher component.

Possible notifications:
• New Pi-hole® system messages
• Available or installed component updates
• Optional Docker image updates
• Test notifications

SECURE CONNECTION
• HTTP and HTTPS support
• Custom ports and reverse-proxy subpaths
• Secure local storage of sensitive data
• Android Keystore
• Certificate pinning for self-signed certificates
• Optional biometric protection

PRIVACY-FOCUSED
Pi-hole® Monitor contains no advertising and no general analytics or tracking SDKs. Pi-hole® data is transferred directly between your Android device and the systems you configure.
Optional features such as support, crash reporting, or UnifiedPush may use additional services and are only used when configured or consented to.

FOR HOMELABS AND NETWORK ADMINISTRATION
Suitable for private Pi-hole® operators, homelab users, administrators of small networks, users with multiple Pi-hole® instances, and anyone who wants to understand their DNS activity.

REQUIREMENTS
• Android 10 or newer
• Your own Pi-hole® v6 instance
• Network access to the Pi-hole® server
• Pi-hole® credentials
• Optional for push: PiHoleWatcher, UnifiedPush, and a compatible distributor
Some advanced management, filtering, system, and widget features are available as Supporter features.
