Including a few people who work at Cloudflare.

How it works

Three steps, all in your browser

Nothing runs anywhere but your own account, on your plan, under your limits.

  1. 1

    Install Appflare

    Sign in to Cloudflare at appflare.dev/deploy and choose an address. The page puts the manager into your account, and afterwards Appflare updates itself.

  2. 2

    Install an app

    Pick an app from the catalog. Appflare creates what it needs (databases, storage, queues, secrets, cron triggers) and records each one.

  3. 3

    Keep it updated

    New versions show up on Home. Update in one click, or let Appflare update apps on its own; roll back to the version you had, or uninstall and remove everything it created.

    Update available to 0.1.1

The catalog

139 apps, ready to install

Short links, analytics, email, password vaults, notes, file sharing and more, each built from a pinned upstream commit and signed.

What you get

Everything after the install, handled

Appflare owns each install, so it can do what a copied repository cannot.

Automatic updates

Turn on automatic updates for every app, or app by app. Every 30 minutes Appflare checks the catalog and updates an app on its own when the new version needs nothing from you, with the same snapshot and checks as an update you start. One that needs a new secret or a confirmation waits for you on the app's page.

Appflare can update itself the same way, when no other job is running.

Settings, Updates: Automatically update apps, and Automatically update Appflare under Appflare version

Spend protection

An app with a bug can loop and run up your bill. Every 5 minutes Appflare reads each app's usage from Cloudflare's analytics, and tells you on Telegram, Slack, Discord or a webhook when an hour reaches 5, 20 or 100 times the app's normal, or when a usage alert you wrote comes true.

Automatic pausing is off by default. Turn it on and Appflare pauses an app that loops. On Workers Paid it also pauses an app past its spending cap for the day, week or month, and a monthly budget pauses the biggest spender. A pause keeps the app's data, bindings and secrets, and Resume puts back the exact versions.

On Workers Free, Appflare warns before a free daily limit runs out. Dollar amounts are estimates at Cloudflare's list prices.

Every install is a job with a log

Installs, updates and rollbacks run as durable Workflow jobs. The log shows each step and ends with a health check.

Every app has a page

Stars, plan, license, size, screenshots and what the app needs from your account, before you install it.

Sign in to Cloudflare, choose where Appflare goes, and the page deploys a prebuilt, signed Appflare there. It takes a few minutes and no API token.
