iPhone and iPad app · Coming soon
Deploy, roll back and fix your apps from your iPhone.
The Railyard app puts every app and server you run on Railyard in your pocket: live traffic, deploys, logs, server load and alerts you can act on. It uses your existing Railyard account and talks to the servers you already deploy to.
Coming soon to the App Store. We run it on our own production apps every day.
When a deploy fails
See what broke and fix it from the same screen.
Railyard reads the build and release output and names the cause: a missing variable, a failed migration, a build error, a full disk. When the fix is a variable, you type the value and Railyard redeploys.
- Build log that follows the deploy line by line
- Queued, building, releasing, live, with a running timer
- Roll back to the last good release in one tap
Live traffic
Requests, errors and latency for every app.
Charts update on their own. Drag across a chart to read any minute. Compare the last hour with the hour before, and see the slowest endpoints at a glance.
- Requests per minute, error rate and p95 latency
- 1 hour to 7 day ranges
- Processes with CPU, memory and restarts, plus worker scaling
Approvals
Approve risky changes with Face ID.
When an AI agent or a teammate asks to delete an app, restore a backup or reboot a server, the request waits for a person. You approve it on your phone with Face ID. The approval is signed by a key that never leaves your iPhone's Secure Enclave, and Railyard checks that signature before anything runs.
- The token that asked can never approve its own request
- Reject with one tap
- Every decision lands in the team's activity log
Servers
Your servers at a glance.
Every server shows CPU, memory and disk as rings, with live and historical charts behind them. Reboot a server or open the apps it runs from the same screen.
- Live, 1 hour, 24 hour and 7 day charts
- Online, stale and offline states
- Works with DigitalOcean, Vultr, Hetzner and servers you attach yourself
Everything in the app
The parts of Railyard you need away from your desk.

- Run one-off commands such as migrations
- Launch templates like WordPress, n8n and Plausible

Security
Built so a lost phone can't hurt your servers.
- You sign in on Railyard's own page with your password, two-factor code or SSO. The app never sees your password.
- Your token stays in the iOS Keychain on this device only, and signing out revokes it.
- Restarts, rollbacks, reboots and commands ask for Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode first.
- Alerts reach your phone through Apple with no log lines in them. The app fetches the details from your Railyard install itself.
- The app only shows the apps your role can see.
iPad
A command center on iPad.
On iPad the app opens in three columns: apps and servers on the left, live logs in the middle, metrics on the right. Press ⌘K to search everything, ⌘R to restart the app you're looking at, and ⌘L for its logs.
Questions
What, who, why and when.
What is the Railyard app?
A native iPhone and iPad app for Railyard. It shows your apps, deploys, logs and servers live, and lets you deploy, roll back, restart, run commands and approve changes from your phone.
Who is it for?
Anyone who runs production apps on Railyard: founders on call for their own product, agencies looking after client servers, and engineering teams who want to act on an alert without opening a laptop.
Why a native app instead of the website on my phone?
Speed and action. Alerts carry buttons, so you can roll back from the Lock Screen. Charts and logs stay smooth with thousands of lines. Face ID protects risky actions, and widgets and Live Activities show status without opening anything.
When can I get it?
It is coming soon to the App Store. We already use it every day on our own production apps. The release will be announced in the changelog.
How do I sign in?
Tap Sign in and use your normal Railyard login, including two-factor and SSO, on Railyard's own sign-in page. You can add several teams, and point the app at your own Railyard install.
Does it work with my servers?
Yes. The app talks to your Railyard account, which manages the servers you already use, on DigitalOcean, Vultr, Hetzner or any machine you attached yourself.
Where does my data go?
Between your phone and your Railyard install only. Push alerts go through Apple with just an app name and an event type. The error text is fetched by the app over an encrypted connection.
Does it work on iPad and Mac?
Yes. iPad gets a three-column layout with keyboard shortcuts. Macs with Apple silicon can run the iPad version.
Is there an Android app?
Not yet. The web dashboard works in any mobile browser in the meantime.
