MonDesk for Android

Changelog

Release history for MonDesk, the Android companion app for BackendSideMon servers.

Version 1.0.12

Latest October 12, 2026

A reliability release, made alongside BackendSideMon 1.5 for Windows and 1.1 for Linux. Works with BackendSideMon 1.5 and the older 1.4.

New

  • Default password warning — the dashboard warns when a server still uses its default admin password
  • Certificate pinning for self-signed HTTPS — a server’s certificate is remembered on first connection and a different one is refused, so the admin password can’t be intercepted on the network. Certificates Android already trusts (such as Let’s Encrypt) are unaffected; after regenerating a server’s certificate, edit and save the server to trust the new one
  • Prices on the upgrade screen come from Google Play in your own currency

Fixed

  • No more “Authentication failed” from signing in too often. Every screen, refresh and background alert check used to sign in separately, which BackendSideMon 1.5’s sign-in limit could refuse. Everything now shares one session per server, and a refusal is reported as “too many login attempts” rather than wrong credentials
  • The server’s own error messages are shown (invalid port, unknown protocol, rule not created by BackendSideMon…) instead of “Request failed (HTTP 400)”
  • Firewall changes work after the server session expires (restart, update, 24-hour limit)
  • Pro subscriptions are always acknowledged, with retries — an interrupted purchase could previously be auto-refunded by Google Play. Purchases are re-checked whenever the app resumes, and “already owned” restores Pro
  • Buying Pro in Settings takes effect everywhere at once, and the theme switch applies immediately
  • Per-server auto-refresh actually runs, and pauses while the app is in the background
  • Tapping “Load more” twice on the Security tab no longer crashes the app, and a failed load shows an error instead of “No failed login events”
  • Tabs opened before the dashboard finished loading no longer stay empty

Changed

  • Background alert checks only run when the device is online

Version 1.0.11

August 28, 2026

Maintenance update.

Changed

  • Updated Google Play billing to the current version, with automatic reconnection to the billing service

Version 1.0.4

April 2026

Launch fixes (1.0.1 – 1.0.4).

Fixed

  • Fixed a start-up crash in the Google Play build
  • Smaller download for release builds
  • Updated privacy policy link

Version 1.0.0

April 5, 2026

First public release — monitor your BackendSideMon servers from your phone.

Servers & dashboard

  • Add servers running BackendSideMon (Windows or Linux) by address, username and password
  • Home screen with live CPU, RAM and disk cards for each server, an online/offline indicator, manual refresh and per-server auto-refresh (30 s / 1 m / 2 m / 5 m)
  • Dashboard with colour-coded CPU, RAM and disk bars, a resource history chart, network and disk throughput, and a summary of processes, ports, connections, firewall rules and failed logins
  • Processes tab with search; Network tab with listening ports and active connections (TCP / UDP filter, search, pagination)
  • Firewall tab with an Allow / Block filter
  • Security tab with failed login attempts from the last 24 hours
