ILAN
Software for self-hosters

Small tools for people who run their own servers.

ILAN is an independent software studio. We build the unglamorous utilities that keep small infrastructure honest — and we run every one of them on our own machines first.

Tools

Canopy

v2.4 · Stable

Status pages for small fleets. Canopy watches the services on your machines and keeps the public page honest — no third-party pings, no inflated uptime.

Rootcheck

v1.8 · Stable

Backup verification, summarised. Rootcheck runs a restore drill on your newest backups every night and sends one short report in the morning: what restored, what didn't.

Understory

v0.9 · Beta

DNS change alerts. Every record change across your zones, diffed and mailed to you before it has a chance to surprise anyone.

About

ILAN is a two-person studio, founded in 2023. We spent years on call for other people's platforms and kept writing the same small scripts after every incident. Eventually we cleaned them up, gave them names, and started selling them for a flat yearly price.

Everything we make is self-hostable, works without an account, and phones home never. If a tool of ours stops being maintained, it keeps working anyway — that is rather the point of owning your tools.
