Heimdall

Heimdall is a lightweight, web-based “start page” for organizing links to your homelab, internal tools, and frequently used web services. It provides a clean grid of application tiles and includes optional integrations (“applications”) that can pull extra information from supported services.

Key Features

• Customizable dashboard with tiles for applications, bookmarks, and common services
• Built-in “Applications” catalog with optional integrations that can query supported services for additional data (where available)
• Per-tile configuration (name, URL, icon/image) and organization into sections/categories
• Searchable interface to quickly find and launch configured apps
• User authentication support (optional), suited for personal or household use
• LinuxServer.io distribution with container-friendly deployment patterns

Use Cases

• Homelab landing page to centralize access to media servers, downloaders, monitoring, and admin tools
• Team/household portal for shared internal services (NAS UI, routers, smart home controllers)
• Personal start page to replace browser bookmarks with a visual, service-oriented launcher

Limitations and Considerations

• Primarily a launcher/dashboard; it is not a full monitoring system (integrations vary by supported app and are not universal)
• Feature development depends on community contributions; some integrations may require manual configuration and can break with upstream API changes

Heimdall fits best when you want a fast, minimal dashboard that is easy to maintain and works well alongside containerized homelab stacks. It focuses on quick navigation and optional app-aware tiles rather than deep analytics or alerting.
