Most infrastructure tools either dump raw output on you or take the wheel entirely. abr.cloud does neither: it tells you what is wrong, in plain language, with the fix — and then lets you decide.
01Mission
We make infrastructure understandable to the people who run it — so they can see it, test it, and fix it themselves, on any device, alone or as a team.
Every check returns a verdict, what it means in plain words, and what to do about it. Not a wall of DNS records for you to interpret. That rule holds for every one of the 80+ tools, for monitoring alerts, and even for error states.
02Vision
The most trusted ecosystem for understanding and watching over infrastructure — from one person with a homelab to the teams who look after everyone else's.
One coherent product across the browser, the desktop app and — later — mobile, with alerts that reach you wherever you are. Today it is built for individuals. Organizations, with invited members and shared access, are next.
03The principle
Empowerment over delegation:
we show you everything and decide nothing for you.
This is a design constraint, not a tagline. Any feature that removes a human decision fails it. It is the line between us and two neighbouring categories: managed-service and RMM platforms that take your infrastructure over, and AI tools that act unattended.
04How that shows up
Results explain themselves. Verdict, plain meaning, fix. If a report needs an expert to interpret it, we have not finished the work.
AI advises; it never acts. Our AI sharpens accuracy and interprets findings, and it shows its working. It hands you the exact fix to copy and a button to re-run the check — it does not apply anything to your systems. No black box, nothing unattended.
Alerts come to you. Monitoring runs whether or not you are looking, and tells you the moment something breaks — by email today, push notification next.
Honest limits. Where a platform genuinely cannot do something — a browser cannot open a raw SSH socket — we say "desktop only" rather than shipping a button that fails.
05Credentials
We never take custody of your credentials.
Monitoring works entirely from the outside: the relay stores no passwords and no keys. On the desktop app, SSH secrets stay in your operating system's own keychain on your machine — they are never uploaded and never synced.
When team sharing arrives, it will share destinations — host, port, user, host-key fingerprint, notes — and never the secrets themselves.
06Who it's for
Anyone in IT looking after infrastructure, whether it is their own or a client's: homelabbers, solo sysadmins, agencies and freelancers, small system houses, and internal IT teams. The free tier is genuinely useful on its own — including a live monitor — because a tool you cannot try is a tool you cannot trust.
07Who we are
ABR — ابر, "cloud" in Persian, which is both the cloud in the sky and the network kind. It is an independent studio in Saarbrücken, Germany. Software is built and hosted in the EU and designed to be GDPR-first: no trackers on this site, no cookies you did not ask for.
