Description
Pi-hole Remote is a third party Pi-hole application that lets you quickly enable/disable your Pi-hole, as well as add domains to your whitelist/blacklist and view statistics such as top allowed and blocked domains!
*Disable Blocking*
Quickly disable blocking for a few minutes with only a few taps. You can even use Siri Shortcuts to disable blocking with your voice! If you have multiple instances, you can disable blocking for all of them with one tap.
*Statistics & Queries*
Look up what domains are queried most on your network, as well as clients that send out the most requests. See queries sorted by domain, client, or type. You can even view a Live Log that shows requests in real-time!
*Blocked Services*
Want to quickly restrict access to Facebook, YouTube, Snapchat, and more? Block all kinds of services effortlessly with just one tap.
*White & Blacklist*
Quickly add new entries to your lists inside the app or with the iOS Share Extension. You can also add entries in bulk and export list entries. If you have two Pi-hole instances, you can even automatically sync your lists!
*Local DNS*
Manage your Local DNS and CNAME records, right from the app!
*Interactive Widgets & Live Activity*
Choose from a wide range of homescreen and lock screen widgets that show statistics or graphs. There are also interactive widgets to disable blocking without opening the app! When you disable blocking, you will even see a Live Activity on your lock screen and Dynamic Island.
*Full Ecosystem*
Purchase the app once and get access to the iOS, watchOS, iPadOS, macOS, and tvOS app.

Ratings and Reviews
Very good app
I wanted a nice app to manage my Pihole without having to log into the Pi itself. Along comes this app and changed my life. OK, maybe it's not that dramatic but it IS a pretty good app. It shows me everything I need in one place and allows me to see at a glance what's happening on my network.
The only thing it could do better is to allow us to update the Pi/Pihole itself right from the app. 😀
Still, it's a good enough app for my uses and I'm.very happy to give it 5 stars.
Developer Response ,
Thank you! 😊 Would love to add updating right from the app, sadly the Pi-hole API does not support this at the moment so I can’t implement it. Maybe in the future! - Joost
Great app
Everything you could want to manage / review your Pi-hole remotely. Lovely layout.
Only shortcoming I’d mention is that it doesn’t auto refresh on re-opening app (unless shutdown) and also the refresh every 10 secs seems to no longer work (the button in settings doesn’t seem to do anything). I’ve tried reinstalling. Pretty trivial complaint though considering.
Sanity Saver
What an amazing app, thank you
I have two pi holes at home and this app has made it so much easier to manage them both, especially with the white/black list sync feature, wonderful touch that!
The interface is great and the change log is a dream to read
Keep up the good work 👍🏼
I wish all developers had your work ethos 😇
