What is cfpanel?

CFPanel is an independent iPhone and iPad app for managing a Cloudflare account on the go. Cloudflare is a service many websites and apps rely on for things like DNS, security, and hosting, and this app exists because the official Cloudflare dashboard is built for a desktop browser and is awkward to use quickly from a phone. CFPanel gives people who run infrastructure a way to check on a site, respond to an incident, or make a change while away from their computer. The app covers real operational tasks rather than just a read only view. It supports signing in with Cloudflare's own login system using limited, scoped access tokens, browsing sites and zones, managing DNS records, adjusting TLS and caching and security settings, and inspecting Workers and Pages projects and their deployments. It also gives visibility into other Cloudflare account resources such as KV storage, R2 storage, D1 databases, Queues, and Vectorize. A notable design choice is the trust model: the app talks directly from the device to Cloudflare, with no separate backend server relaying or storing credentials. Sensitive login information is stored in the iPhone or iPad's built in secure storage, called Keychain, and operational data is fetched live each time rather than cached elsewhere. This matters for a tool that has access to someone's infrastructure settings. CFPanel is free to use, which the author says is a deliberate choice to keep basic infrastructure workflows open rather than locking common actions behind a paywall, though optional financial support is welcomed to help cover App Store costs and ongoing maintenance. It is available on the App Store and is described as an independent third party client built on top of Cloudflare's public APIs, not an official Cloudflare product.
