About Patch Panel

Patch Panel A YAML-driven launcher for your homelab that lives as a thin bar on top of every page you visit. Your self-hosted services are always one click away, without giving up an entire tab. How it works Write a single YAML file describing your services and drop it into the options page. Patch Panel parses it locally, stores it in your browser, and renders a bar on every tab. No accounts, no servers, no setup beyond that. Features - Service shortcuts with icons, organized into hover dropdowns - Live system metrics pulled from your homelab directly into the bar - Two monitor item types: value readouts and SVG sparkline graphs - Adapters for Glances and Dash. out of the box - Track CPU, RAM, GPU, disk, and network across multiple hosts - Mix services and live monitors inside the same dropdown group - Configurable poll interval and sparkline history depth - Pin the bar to the top, left, or right edge of the screen - Auto-hide mode so the bar stays out of the way until you need it - Three display modes: icons only, text only, or icons with text - Configurable bar height and width Privacy Patch Panel is entirely local. Your config and metrics data never leave your browser. There are no accounts, no sync server, no analytics, and no tracking.
