Keep an eye on things and get things done: Uptime Kuma and Beszel for monitoring, Homepage, Homarr and Glance for dashboards, ntfy and Gotify for push alerts, and handy tools like PairDrop and CyberChef.
Homepage
Self-hosted application dashboard with live status widgets for 100+ self-host apps — the YAML-configured "one tab to rule them all" startpage that's become the de-facto standard.
A managed instance of Homepage on ElfHosted (the 30K-star gethomepage/homepage, not to be confused with older similarly-named projects). Custom dashboard with live widgets for Plex, Jellyfin, the *arr stack, Docker, Kubernetes, Home Assistant, and 100+ more services. Configured in YAML, blazingly fast, no database. GPL-3.
Uptime Kuma
Self-hosted uptime monitoring with public status pages — the open-source UptimeRobot alternative that doesn't cap your monitor count or charge for SSL alerts.
A managed instance of Uptime Kuma on ElfHosted — the 86K-star self-hosted monitoring tool. HTTP / TCP / ping / DNS / keyword / push monitors, public status pages with custom domains, 90+ notification channels (Discord, Slack, Telegram, email, ntfy, Pushover, Apprise, etc.), multi-user, 2FA. MIT-licensed; no monitor caps, no premium tier.
Gotify
Self-hosted push notification server — your *arr stack, Uptime Kuma, Watchtower, and any webhook-capable tool fan out alerts to one Android app on your phone.
A managed instance of Gotify on ElfHosted — the self-hosted push notification server with native Android app, simple REST API, and broad ecosystem support. Most self-host tools (Uptime Kuma, the *arr stack, Watchtower, Home Assistant) speak Gotify out of the box. BSD-3 licensed; lightweight Go binary; works without a Google or Apple push-vendor account.
PairDrop
AirDrop for everyone — browser-based file sharing across iOS / Android / Mac / Windows / Linux, peer-to-peer, no app install, on your private subdomain.
A managed instance of PairDrop on ElfHosted — the cross-platform, browser-only file-sharing tool that does what AirDrop does but works between any two devices, regardless of OS. WebRTC peer-to-peer for transfers; the server only coordinates the handshake. Hosting on your own subdomain means a private namespace (no chance of bumping into strangers using the same temporary device name). GPL-3.
