Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as Flame.
Homepage
Static, fast application dashboard with integrations for over a hundred services.
Homepage is configured entirely in YAML with no graphical editor, and adds server-side widgets for over a hundred services, unlike Flame's in-browser editing of apps and bookmarks.
Heimdall
Simple application dashboard for the links and services you use most.
Heimdall is a similarly simple MIT-licensed application dashboard needing almost no configuration, with live tiles for a fixed list of apps, though its development has also been quiet.
Homarr
Homelab dashboard with drag-and-drop layout and integrations for common services.
Homarr keeps browser-based editing through a drag-and-drop layout and adds integrations showing download queues and service state, though credentials need re-entering after major upgrades.
Dashy
Configurable homelab dashboard with live status checks and widgets.
Dashy adds live status checks and widgets, configured through a single YAML file that can be version-controlled, instead of Flame's browser-based editing.
Glance
Compact dashboard that combines feeds, videos, weather and server stats on one page.
Glance is a compact single-page dashboard that also pulls in feeds, videos, weather and server stats, configured only in YAML and licensed under AGPL-3.0.
