What is it?

Flux Monitor is a dashboard for keeping an eye on a Mac that runs as a home server or always-on machine. It shows CPU, memory, disk and network usage, lets you run terminal commands, and provides views for processes, listening ports, system logs and configuration files.

Beyond basic monitoring, it covers common server administration tasks: it can inspect which process owns a port and release it, manage macOS LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons, and manage Docker containers and images. Nginx sites and global configuration can also be edited from the dashboard. Each module can be switched on or off in config.json.

The macOS launcher runs the monitor service from the menu bar, and iOS and Android apps connect to it remotely. An optional OpenAI-compatible AI assistant can help parse logs, audit configuration and suggest troubleshooting steps, and an built-in InstaTunnel option exposes the local dashboard to the internet.
