Pier
A quiet macOS menu-bar app that watches your servers and what's deployed on them — Docker stacks, container health, host metrics, and live logs — over the SSH you already use.
Import once, glance forever. Pull in DigitalOcean and Hetzner, or your ~/.ssh/config hosts, and see the whole fleet from one corner of your screen.

FAQ
Small details.
What is Pier for?
Pier gives you one glanceable place for every server you run — what Docker stacks are deployed, whether they're healthy, host load/disk, and live logs — without opening a terminal or a heavy dashboard.
How does it connect?
Over your existing SSH (the same ~/.ssh config and agent you already use). Pier stores no SSH keys and no passwords, and is read-only by default — container restart/stop/start is an opt-in setting.
Do I need to enter my key after updates?
No. Pier saves the license in the macOS Keychain. Updates keep using the same saved license on that Mac.
Are future updates included?
Yes. One Pier license includes all future updates in perpetuity for the Mac activated by that license.
Know what's running, without opening a terminal.
One license activates one Mac and includes every future update. Paste your key once — Pier remembers it.
