Press kit

Stacklight press kit.

For journalists, podcasters, MacStories, ATP, r/selfhosted moderators, anyone covering homelab tooling.

One-line pitch

Stacklight is the native iOS app for your homelab. 23 self-hosted services in one iPhone and Apple Watch dashboard, with no server, no signup, and no telemetry.

One-paragraph pitch

Stacklight brings the homelab to iOS the way iOS users expect: a native dashboard for iPhone and Apple Watch that talks directly to 23 self-hosted services. Proxmox, TrueNAS, Pi-hole, Home Assistant, Plex, OPNsense, Gitea, Nginx Proxy Manager, and the rest of the usual stack. There is no Stacklight backend. The app runs entirely on-device, with credentials in the iOS Keychain and configuration syncing through the user’s own iCloud. Three of the integrations (Gitea, Nginx Proxy Manager, and OPNsense) have no other native iPhone client of any kind.

Why it exists

Self-hosted services have multiplied over the last few years. The average homelabber now runs a dozen or more, but the iPhone has remained an afterthought. Existing options are either cloud-relayed (which defeats the point of self-hosting) or sideloaded Android-style apps. Stacklight is the App Store-native, no-backend alternative.
