Community Apps

Third-party applications built by the community that integrate with DOCSight. These are independent projects not maintained by DOCSight.

Note: DOCSight itself ships as a mobile-first PWA that you can install to your home screen on any device. If you have feedback or feature requests for the built-in interface, please open an issue.


DOCSIOS -- iOS & iPadOS Companion App

A native iOS and iPadOS companion app that connects to your DOCSight instance and provides a mobile-optimized view of your DOCSIS metrics. Built by @neofabrics.

  • Covers most DOCSight API features (dashboard, channels, trends, speedtest, BQM, Smokeping, gaming score, events, journal, snapshots, connection monitor, traceroute, modulation, segment utilization)
  • Native Apple Watch companion app with signal health, speedtest, and monitor views
  • Dynamic Island and Live Activity support for real-time signal degradation alerts
  • Background notifications with severity filtering
  • Insights tab with on-device statistical analysis (prime-time degradation, temperature correlation, error trends)
  • Channel comparison, ISP complaint generation, and snapshot heatmaps
  • English and German localization
  • Optimized layouts for iPhone, iPad, and Mac (Catalyst)

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/docsios/id6759523137 TestFlight (beta builds): https://testflight.apple.com/join/5FXpNb6X Issues & Feature Requests: https://github.com/neofabrics/DOCSIOS Discussion: #100

DOCSIOS visualizes metrics produced by DOCSight. It does not collect modem data directly and does not modify DOCSight. Please report DOCSIOS-specific bugs in the DOCSIOS repository, not in DOCSight.


Breitbandmessung Sidecar (Serph91P)

An alternative BNetzA sidecar container that automates official breitbandmessung.de speed tests and exports results as CSV for DOCSight's file watcher. Built by @Serph91P.

Compared to the fabianbees/breitbandmessung-docker container referenced in Example Compose Stacks, this one runs fully headless (no browser GUI needed for setup), supports ARM64 (Raspberry Pi), and uses a simple cron schedule via environment variable.

Repository: https://github.com/Serph91P/breitbandmessung Discussion: #142

The built-in BNetzA file watcher works with any container that writes CSV files to a shared volume. See BNetzA Breitbandmessung for configuration.


Homepage Widget

A widget for Homepage that displays DOCSight's connection status using the /health API endpoint. Created by @belzebub40k.

The widget is currently proposed as a contribution to Homepage and needs community upvotes to be considered for inclusion -- if you use Homepage, consider leaving an upvote on the Homepage discussion.

Discussion: #153


Dr.Docsis -- Active Line Diagnostics

An iPerf3-based diagnostic tool that detects physical line degradation (ingress, bad amplifiers) through fragmentation testing. Built by @ELRabito.

The core insight: sending UDP packets at 1473 bytes (one byte over MTU, forcing fragmentation) reveals reassembly failures that standard ping and TCP tests completely miss. If 1472-byte packets show 0% loss but 1473-byte packets show 50%+ loss, that is a clear hardware or line fault.

  • TCP single-stream and multi-stream throughput tests
  • UDP fragmentation probe (1473B vs 1472B reference comparison)
  • Multi-server rotation to eliminate peering bias
  • Breakpoint analyzer to find the exact bandwidth ceiling
  • Docker container with REST API available (PR #1)

Particularly useful for Vodafone Station users where the modem hides FEC errors and upstream SNR. Can be used as a sidecar alongside DOCSight, with Smart Capture triggering probes on signal degradation.
