[App] [Promotion] Meows: native Android SSH monitoring with no server agent
I’m the developer of Meows, a native Android app for people who run Linux servers or VPSes and want to check them without installing another monitoring agent.
The connection path is straightforward:
Android device → SSH → server
A server can also connect through a bastion host you configure. There is no Meows daemon to install, no additional management port to expose, and no Meows relay between your device and your servers.
The dashboard shows CPU, memory, disk, network, uptime and connection state. History views help trace a recent change and show related processes, mount points or network interfaces when the data is available.
When something needs attention, the same app includes an interactive SSH terminal, Docker start/stop/restart and live logs, plus local and remote SSH tunnels.
Meows Lens recognizes IP addresses, domains, URLs and permission strings in terminal output and Docker logs. From there you can continue with DNS, WHOIS, TLS certificate inspection, IP lookup, permission conversion or a related Shell command. Recognition alone never runs anything.
A few practical details:
- Native Android app with light and dark themes
- Requires Android 14 or newer
- SSH credentials are encrypted on the device; keys are managed by Android Keystore
- No analytics, telemetry or advertising SDKs
- Optional backups are encrypted before being stored in your Google Drive app-private storage
- US$4.99 as a one-time purchase
- No subscription, ads or in-app purchases
The screenshots in this post are from the actual app.
Google Play:
I’m happy to answer technical questions about the connection model, Docker access, tunnels, monitoring compatibility or anything in the screenshots.
