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.

Native on Mac.

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.
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. Full paginated log history included.
Deployment Management
View your full deployment history and trigger a redeploy, rollback, or cancel on any past build with a single click — all without opening a browser.
Environment Variables
All variables are redacted by default so you can safely share your screen. 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. You can connect unlimited workspaces and 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 update mechanism. The DMG version updates automatically through the built-in Sparkle updater. The Mac App Store version updates via the App Store.
Yes. Volans v2.0 is planned to introduce multi-provider support, starting with Render, Vercel, and Heroku. This will be a free update for all users.
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.
