The original
Heimdall
Simple application dashboard for the links and services you use most.
Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as Heimdall.
Homepage
Static, fast application dashboard with integrations for over a hundred services.
Homepage is a static YAML-configured dashboard with integrations for over a hundred services proxied server-side, but every change is a file edit instead of Heimdall's quick setup.
Homarr
Homelab dashboard with drag-and-drop layout and integrations for common services.
Homarr offers drag-and-drop layout editing in the browser plus integrations showing download queues and service state, going beyond Heimdall's fixed list of live tiles.
Dashy
Configurable homelab dashboard with live status checks and widgets.
Dashy adds live status checks and widgets configured from one version-controllable YAML file, though its widget set is uneven and some rely on third-party APIs.
Flame
Minimal self-hosted start page for applications and bookmarks.
Flame is a similarly minimal MIT-licensed start page for apps and bookmarks edited in the browser, and like Heimdall its upstream development has been quiet.
Glance
Compact dashboard that combines feeds, videos, weather and server stats on one page.
Glance is a dense single page combining feeds, videos, weather and server stats, configured only in YAML and licensed under AGPL-3.0.
Organizr
Tabbed portal that gathers self-hosted web apps behind one login.
Organizr puts self-hosted web apps into a tabbed portal behind one login with per-group visibility, as a PHP application under GPL-3.0.
Similar software
Related functionality, not a direct replacement.
Uptime Kuma
A self-hosted uptime monitor that pings your sites and services and tells you the moment one stops answering.
Glances
A cross-platform system monitor that runs in a terminal, in a browser, or as an API feeding a dashboard.
Pulse
A self-hosted monitoring dashboard for Proxmox, Docker, Kubernetes, TrueNAS and vSphere with alerting.
beszel
Track server health through a lightweight web dashboard.
