Users
Homarr is for experienced self-hosters, homelab operators, and administrators who run several services and want one dashboard for monitoring and operating them. They understand technical data, value density, and spend time tuning dashboards to match their own workflows.
Product Purpose
Homarr brings status, data, and safe day-to-day controls from self-hosted services into one customizable dashboard. Success means users can inspect problems, act on services, and reshape their workspace without repeatedly leaving the board.
Brand Personality
Capable, precise, configurable. Homarr should feel calm under load, direct about system state, and rewarding to experts who refine details.
Anti-references
- Consumer dashboards that hide useful detail behind simplified scores.
- Decorative glass, oversized metric cards, and motion without state meaning.
- Rigid layouts that force one workflow or require leaving the dashboard for routine actions.
- Clever custom controls where familiar platform or Mantine interactions already work.
Design Principles
- Preserve expert depth while prioritizing the most urgent information at small sizes.
- Make routine inspection, filtering, configuration, and safe actions available from the board.
- Reveal dense workspaces progressively through a consistent advanced focus mode.
- Treat personalization as a core workflow, not a settings afterthought.
- Show loading, stale, partial, empty, and failed states truthfully without discarding valid data.
Accessibility & Inclusion
Target WCAG AA. Every pointer interaction needs a keyboard and coarse-pointer path. Focus must be visible and restored after overlays close. Motion must respect reduced-motion preferences, and status must never rely on color alone.
