StackPilot vs the Heroku dashboard

The Heroku dashboard Heroku doesn’t ship

Heroku’s console lives in a browser tab. StackPilot puts your whole fleet — status, deploys, logs, and cost — in your pocket, with push alerts and iOS Live Activities.

Common questions

Does StackPilot replace the Heroku dashboard?
No — it complements it. StackPilot talks to Heroku's API with an API key you provide, so it stays in sync with everything you do in the web dashboard or CLI; it just puts it on your phone with alerts, drift detection, and Live Activities.
Is StackPilot official or affiliated with Heroku?
No. StackPilot is an independent companion app for Heroku users, not affiliated with or endorsed by Salesforce or Heroku.
Do I have to share my Heroku password?
Never. You paste a Heroku API key (or a Vercel token) — not your password. The key is encrypted at rest on our servers so we can alert you while the app is closed, it is never logged, and it is erased when you disconnect or delete your account.
Which platforms are supported?
Cloud platforms: Heroku and Vercel. Devices: iOS (iPhone, with Live Activities and Dynamic Island support) and Android — both coming soon to the stores; leave your email on the home page to be notified.
