Volans — My Workspace
The Problem

Stop living in browser tabs

Managing Railway from a browser works — until you need to monitor multiple projects, catch a failing deploy at 2 AM, or edit an env var without context-switching.

Constant context switching

Every time you need to check logs or restart a service you're jumping between your editor, terminal, and a Railway browser tab. It breaks your flow and costs you time.

No system notifications

The Railway web dashboard can't send native desktop alerts. You find out about a failed deploy only when you happen to check the tab — often minutes or hours too late.

Slow, heavy browser experience

Browser dashboards load JavaScript bundles, fight for RAM with your other tabs, and feel sluggish when all you need is to tail a log or check a deployment status.

Features

Everything Railway, native on Mac

Built with SwiftUI for macOS — fast, private, and deeply integrated with the OS you already work in.

Live Log Viewer

Stream build, runtime, and HTTP logs in real time with per-level filtering. Free tier polls every 15 seconds; Pro drops that to 5 seconds for near-real-time visibility. Full paginated log history is available on Pro.

Deployment Management

View your full deployment history and trigger a redeploy or rollback to any past build with a single click. Pro users can also cancel in-progress deployments without opening a browser.

Environment Variables

All variables are redacted by default so you can safely share your screen. Pro users can reveal, edit, and save env vars protected by Touch ID — no copying tokens into your clipboard ever again.

Domain Management

View all Railway-generated and custom domains for every service. DNS propagation status is shown inline, and you can add or delete custom domains and copy any URL with a single click.

Menu Bar Widget

A persistent system-tray icon gives you instant color-coded health status for your Railway workspace — green for all healthy, yellow for degraded, red for failing. Click to jump straight to the affected service.

Desktop Notifications

Get native macOS notification center alerts the moment a deployment succeeds or fails — even when Volans is running in the background. No polling, no missed deploys, no manual refreshing required.

FAQ

Common questions

Yes. Volans supports Railway team workspaces. With the free tier you can connect one workspace — personal or team. Pro unlocks unlimited workspaces, so you can manage all your teams and personal projects in a single native window.

Absolutely. All credentials — including your Railway API token — are stored exclusively in the macOS Keychain. They are never written to disk in plaintext, never sent to Volans servers, and never included in any analytics or telemetry payload. Volans has no server-side component.

The two versions are feature-identical. The only difference is the payment and update mechanism. The DMG version is sold directly via Paddle and updates automatically through the built-in Sparkle updater. The Mac App Store version is purchased through Apple and updates via the App Store. Pro license keys purchased via Paddle are not transferable to the App Store version and vice versa.

Yes. Volans v2.0 is planned to introduce multi-provider support, starting with Render, Vercel, and Heroku. This upgrade will be a free update for all existing Pro license holders — the $19 you pay today covers it. We believe in paying once and owning your tools, not drip-feeding features behind new purchase walls.

Zero. Volans contains no analytics SDKs, no telemetry frameworks, and no crash reporting services. It makes no network requests except directly to the Railway API on your behalf. There is nothing phoning home, no opt-out to hunt for, and no privacy policy that lists "usage statistics" as a data category we collect.
