Some four years after this was originally shared, I'm wondering why it's still in the "gathering feedback" phase...

I would like to have an Android or iOS application for managing my tickets, droplets, domains, volumes, etc

Eh, I am withdrawing my vote. This isn't a *top* priority item for me. DO has a lot of other things to worry about.

Yes, would love to see an official DO app.

I'm very confused why this is "Gathering Feedback". It should be obvious that a mobile app is essential in today's mobile-centric world.

This is a must. Add Touch ID Integration for iPhone App authentication.

It should be relatively simple to create your own app using the API in your language of choice.

Windows Phone app, too, please. A 4-digit PIN should be added (as an option, it add to security).

I have created one for Android that has most of the features (planning to add more). you can get it form the playstore for free here : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yassirh.digitalocean

There are several iOS or Android apps listed, here: https://github.com/DigitalOcean-User-Projects/Directory

Any plans for an app with graphs?

Good news Drizzle is now available in the App Store ;)

http://getdrizzle.com

Just a quick update, for those interested in a full-features iOS app - I'm submitting today!
http://getdrizzle.com

I should mention, anyone else who's interested in beta testing or helping with localisations please follow me on Twitter so we can get in touch. I will be submitting very soon v1.0 but there are newer features coming soon afterwards and I'd love to include some localisations :)

Jeffrey A. I have spoken with the dev team and I don't see an official app coming anytime soon however I started to work on a new app recently that's a lot more full featured than Binary Deep (which I was also using up until now) :)
If you're interested in being a beta tested, get in touch @getdrizzle on twitter - DM me your UDID and I'll add you on Testflight. I think you'll like it :)

Until then, I'll probably be using Binary Deep (https://itunes.apple.com/nl/app/binary-deep/id656858282)

Can't wait to see an official iOS App.

Fortunately, I'm not an IOS user, so an Android app would be very nice! I will test some of the developer posts below and then post an update on which app I think is best!

http://drizzleios.com - I'll be submitting very soon!

I've been talking with the devs at Digital Ocean and many new API features have become available.
My app will do everything you can do through the site and a lot more than what's documented (currently) in the API.

Follow me on twitter @drizzleios to stay up to date, but the release is definitely soon! Just going through last round of testing.

I started developing a free app for Android, here you can download it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mediterraneo
I'm writing new features in these days, stay tuned!

Panel is done with Bootstrap AFAIK, creating a responsive web panel for mobile should be trivial and straight forward.

Just wanted to let you know about Binary Deep: http://forsakenlabs.com/binary-deep/

real need it

Well this would be pretty easy to implement due to the fact of the fantastic API DigitalOcean have! I can create a web-based iOS app for this in just a day. However my Objective-C knowledge is limited, so I'm voting for a native app (Developed by a good iOS dev)

I feel like this would tie together nicely with the new beta design. If they make it responsive i'm sure it'll be good enough for mobile use. I think an app is kind of overkill, but i wouldn't complain.

What about an equivalent app for Android ???

http://cloudoceanapp.com/ for iOS

We're quite a long way away from an official DigitalOcean app so any developers that want to take a stab at it you're more than welcome =]

Basin does everything I want so I've removed my votes for this suggestion. Great app.

I started making an open-source app. It is free on the AppStore. It is not so feature rich as others, but i am working on that. Please feel free to fill a feature request on Github.

https://github.com/philipheinser/DigitalOcean-Manager

https://itunes.apple.com/app/digitalocean-manager/id633128302

There is a paid app for this (and I applaud the dev for making it, it looks useful and seems priced fairly), but I'd love to see a free one from DO at some point that can take full advantage of their API and get updated as more is added to the API.

Checkout "CloudOcean" (free) for iOS: http://CloudOceanApp.com

Would quite happily have this, or better still, make the current control panel responsive & mobile friendly, much quicker and easier.

Include tracert and ping

Hi Bart,

That's an interesting suggestion definitely post it up as a separate feature request.

Basin is awesome, I hope it continues to evolve. Now I need DigitalOcean to allow me to disable deleting certain servers from the API. Say... "locked". I'm going to remove my votes from this suggestion and make a new one.

I prefer responsive HTML.

Awesome! =]

Basin http://basinapp.com/ just went live with an iPhone app :) Let me know if you have any questions.

http://basinapp.com/ now has an iPhone app too :)

Awesome to see the community putting this together!

I would love to test it. How can I contact you?

Would really like a app of DigitalOcean itself
But for now i really gonna check Basin :)

One of our customers created an android app off of the API:

http://basinapp.com/

We'll be eventually putting something together for mobile but no ETA yet.

Josh was awesome enough to put one together around the API =]

https://www.digitalocean.com/blog_posts/our-customers-rock-introducing-basin-for-android

There's an Android app available now http://basinapp.com

Would love to see customers engage the API and build some cool tools like an Android phone app, that would be pretty sweet. =]

Already done at:

https://api.digitalocean.com

How about expose an API first and let the community write an app

I would be interested in beta testing the Android app.

An android app and an iphone app are on the roadmap and will be in production closer to 2012 Q4 when we hope to have the initial first betas released for users to test.

Thanks

We're paranoid on security here as well. I think we wont have the bandwidth for the mobile website for a bit of a time but if someone wants to tackle and it and open source we could use that as a framework to then build on top of and take care of the security implementation.

All good suggestions =]

SMS seems a bit basic for anything besides, well, basic. I think. Not sure if I would use that personally (my 2 cents).

A web based mobile admin would be just fine for me. That could start with only a few features built into a, say, jQuery Mobile version of current admin. Something simple at first. That might not add a that big overhead at first, but if people starts to ask all features for mobile, that might add an non-negligible overhead at some point in time.

I thought I could work on that, but might not be ideal for authorizations. Having auth for that web based mobile app that would store people DO auth is not the best solution, I personally wouldn't use that if it didn't came from DO or myself, I think. Servers are too important. Maybe am I paranoid? ;)

We've played around with a Twilio integration and DigitalOcean 1.0 that allowed SMS based controls of running droplets, but that would lack a few features that a native phone app would provide (trending, analytics).

A mobile version could work very well and would probably reduce time to develop and also be cross-platform compatible.

Interesting thoughts.

Thanks,
Moisey

I would like to hear opinions on why would a native app be needed here if a stripped (or not) web mobile admin would be available? I was thinking about that and cross-platform development too...I worked with Titanium Mobile last year, but I found it had problems (memory leaks, hard to keep up with new OS version). Anyone have something to suggest? If there is no such solutions I think Rubymotion might be useful as I am Ruby dev. The major downside of Rubymotion is the licensing fees just to try to make a proof of concept.

Thoughts, ideas? Would a web based mobile app would do for most needs?

Stats are in development and yes we will be exposing them via API when they are complete.

Thanks,
Moisey

I think stats are really needed to make that kind of app useful. Will you provide a stat API? If yes, any ETA on that?

That would be an awesome show of support and if someone wants to take that project on and needs any help let us know, we'll be more than happy to help.

The API is at digitalocean.com/api and we put pretty much everything you can do in there.

Thanks,
Moisey

I would most probably prefer have everything exposed via the API and community could do iPhone and Android apps. Maybe am I a dreamer? ;)

Android too, please (and WinMo for that matter, if possible)... not everyone loves Apple ;)

YES. ...and ANDROID. I'm an Android person. :o)
- Is the SMS part ready for testing? I got free messaging plan. :p

We put together a preliminary version using SMS instead of a full app, allowing users to reboot and resize their droplets from their phone.

It's in beta mode and we haven't launched it publicly, but we will most likely release that first, so users can reboot their droplets remotely if they happen to be alerted that there's an issue and they don't have an internet connection handy.
