Q: Is Open Pi Pro a subscription?

No. On iOS, Open Pi offers an optional 3-day trial with no payment and one-time Lifetime or Lifetime Family purchases. These purchases do not auto-renew. App Store prices and availability vary by storefront.

Q: Which Raspberry Pi operating systems does Open Pi support?

Open Pi is fully supported on Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu Server/Desktop for Raspberry Pi, DietPi, Armbian, and generic Debian arm64 images, since these all use systemd and apt. Distros with systemd but a different package manager, like Fedora ARM, openSUSE ARM, and Arch Linux ARM, get partial support: metrics, SSH terminal, files, Docker, and services work, but the apt-based OS update panel does not. Appliance-style systems such as Home Assistant OS, OpenWrt, LibreELEC, and Alpine Linux are not supported, since they don't provide the general-purpose Linux access Open Pi's agent needs.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about Open Pi, Raspberry Pi monitoring, SSH, Android, and privacy.

What is Open Pi?

Open Pi is a mobile app for monitoring and managing Raspberry Pi devices over your local network on iOS and iPadOS today, with Android coming soon. It includes live metrics, SSH terminal, SCP file transfer, systemd service control, alerts, and biometric security — with no cloud account required.

Does Open Pi require a cloud account?

No. Open Pi is local-first. You connect directly to your Raspberry Pi over SSH on your network. Connection details stay on your device; there is no Open Pi developer cloud or mandatory sign-in.

What can I monitor on my Raspberry Pi?

Open Pi shows real-time CPU, memory, disk usage, temperature, and service health. You can also receive push alerts when metrics cross thresholds you configure.

Does Open Pi work on iPad?

Yes. Open Pi runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 18 or iPadOS 18 or later. The same dashboard, SSH terminal, and file tools work on both form factors.

How do I connect Open Pi to my Raspberry Pi?

Enable SSH on your Pi, add the host or IP address and credentials in Open Pi, and connect over your local Wi-Fi network. Open Pi can scan the local network to help discover devices. See our Support page for setup help.

Is Open Pi available on Android?

Yes! Open Pi is available on Android via Google Play and on iPhone & iPad via the App Store.

Is my Raspberry Pi data private in Open Pi?

Yes. Open Pi does not upload your Pi metrics, terminal output, or files to developer servers for analytics. Optional passwords can be stored in iOS Keychain or Android Keystore, and biometrics can protect app access. Read the Privacy Policy for details.

Is Open Pi Pro a subscription?

On iOS, Open Pi offers a free tier, an optional 3-day trial with no payment, and one-time Lifetime or Lifetime Family purchases. On Android, Open Pi offers monthly subscription and lifetime access options. Prices and availability are shown by the respective app stores. Read the Terms of Use for purchase, restore, and trial details.

Which Raspberry Pi operating systems does Open Pi support?

Fully supported: Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu Server/Desktop for Raspberry Pi, DietPi, Armbian, and generic Debian arm64 images — all use systemd and apt, so metrics, SSH terminal, files, Docker, services, and OS updates work end to end.

Partially supported: Fedora ARM, openSUSE ARM, and Arch Linux ARM use systemd but a different package manager, so everything works except the apt-based OS update panel.

Not supported: appliance-style systems like Home Assistant OS, OpenWrt, LibreELEC, and Alpine Linux, which don't provide the general-purpose Linux access Open Pi's agent needs. See the in-app Settings → Supported Devices screen for the full breakdown.
