FAQ

What is Gatus?

Gatus is an open-source status dashboard. You configure the websites, APIs, or services it should check, and Gatus shows whether they look healthy. The project is available on GitHub: TwiN/gatus.

What does GatusPocket do?

GatusPocket shows the status from your own Gatus server in a native iPhone app. Gatus does the checks; GatusPocket gives you a calmer mobile view.

Do I need an existing Gatus setup?

Yes. You need at least one Gatus setup that is reachable over HTTPS. You can save multiple connections in GatusPocket and use one at a time. GatusPocket does not monitor websites by itself and does not replace Gatus.

Which authentication methods are supported?

GatusPocket supports Basic auth and bearer-token sign-in for the Gatus status API.

Does GatusPocket edit my Gatus configuration?

No. The app is read-only. It reads service status, stores cached statuses and recent status changes locally, and lets you manage app-local preferences such as pinned services and troubleshooting links.

Does it work offline?

It is not offline monitoring. If the network or server is temporarily unavailable, GatusPocket can show the last successfully stored status. The Home Screen widget uses the latest snapshot written by the app.

Do I need anything besides my Gatus server credentials?

No. You use your own Gatus server credentials. They stay in the iOS Keychain and remain separate for each saved connection profile.

Can I hide names in the widget?

Yes. Small widgets always show counts only. Medium widgets can show the active connection name and up to three endpoint names by default. Turn off names in Settings to make widgets count-only and keep newly written shared snapshots free of names and endpoint keys.

Is GatusPocket a subscription?

No recurring app subscription is planned. GatusPocket is intended as a low-cost one-time App Store purchase. You still provide and run your own Gatus setup.
