Pi-hole Remote

v6.0 is a total rewrite of the app for the release of Pi-hole v6. This new version brings many performance, efficiency, and design improvements. Furthermore, there are many new features that weren't possible before, like managing Clients & Groups, DNS, DHCP, and more. To highlight a few: support for unlimited instances and custom headers, you can now update gravity, a new 'add 5 minutes' button, and redesigned widgets and Live Activity.

The update also brings some special features for iOS/iPadOS 18 and watchOS 11, like new dark/tinted app icons, a new UI on iPad, support for the Double Tap gesture on Apple Watch, and more.

This also brings a change to the business model of the app: from paid upfront to free with a 'Pi-hole Remote+' version. Doing this felt like a right move to make more people enjoy the basic features of Pi-hole Remote for free, while also making sure the app has a sustainable future.
I made sure that everyone who downloaded/purchased the app before this update, will get Pi-hole Remote+ lifetime for free. You'll find a button to activate it inside the app, which checks if you're eligible.

Some old features that were in v5 might be missing still, as I've focused on the most important features first. Expect more regular updates now that v6 is out, with missing features returning better than ever.

Building v6 was a massive undertaking for me as a single developer, I hope you enjoy this update! If you like the app, consider leaving a review in the App Store. If you have any feedback about bugs or missing features, please contact me through 'Help & Feedback' in the app settings.
