Getting Started

A short checklist to go from a fresh install to watching your monitors.

Quick checklist

  • Uptime Kuma is running and reachable from your phone's network
  • You know your Kuma URL, username, and password
  • URSA is installed (Installation)
  • Add your server and log in (below)
  • Optional: enable push (Push Notifications)

1. Connect to your server

On the login screen, enter your Uptime Kuma address, for example:

  • https://kuma.example.com
  • http://192.168.1.10:3001 (a plain-HTTP instance on your LAN)

If you leave off http:// or https://, URSA assumes https://.

Self-signed certificate? If your instance uses HTTPS with a self-signed certificate, tick "Trust self-signed certificate" for that connection. Only do this for servers you control. See Security for what this means.

2. Log in

Enter your username and password. If your account has two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled, URSA will ask for your current 6-digit code.

URSA stores only the resulting session, never your password, and it is encrypted on the device.

3. Watch your monitors

  • The monitor list shows every monitor with a live status dot, ping, and 24-hour uptime. It updates in real time.
  • Tap a monitor for detail: a recent heartbeat strip and, for HTTPS monitors, TLS certificate info.
  • Use Pause or Resume on a monitor to stop or start its checks.

4. Multiple servers

Add more than one Uptime Kuma server and switch between them. URSA keeps you signed in and reconnects automatically if the connection drops.

5. Public status pages

You can also view a public Uptime Kuma status page by its URL and slug, without logging in.

Signing out

Use "Sign out" to end the session and remove the stored credentials for the active server.

Next: Push Notifications or Troubleshooting.
