SpectreHub
Home server control for Windows

Your servers, apps and PCs in one hub.

SpectreHub runs on your own PC and puts your game servers, home apps and devices on one dashboard. Start a Rust server, open your media server, wake the other PC, check your budget. From your desk or your phone.

What it does

Everything you host at home, in one place

No more remembering ports, keeping five browser tabs open or walking to the PC to restart a server.

Game servers

Pick a game and SpectreHub downloads and sets up the server. Start, stop and restart it, read the console, see who's on, and change its settings.

Apps and web pages

Every web app you run at home in one menu: media servers, download managers, Home Assistant, Pi-hole. They open inside the hub, show if they're up, and can start with it.

Your PCs and devices

See which PCs are on and how hard they're working. Turn the other PC on from the hub with Wake-on-LAN, and keep an eye on network health.

Your own tabs and guides

Build tabs for game guides, server rules, notes and links, and put them in your own menus. Add any website to a menu, such as an interactive game map.

Recipes

Paste a recipe site, a YouTube video, a TikTok or a screenshot and SpectreHub picks out the ingredients and steps. Change the servings, cook step by step, and build a shopping list.

Reach it from anywhere

Use it on your phone at home, and away from home at your own web address with a proper certificate. Everyone signs in first.

Optional extra

Discord and social posting

Write a post once and send it to your Discord channel, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X and more. Share event times everyone reads in their own time zone.

Optional extra

Money

Accounts, a monthly budget that shows what's left to spend, bills, savings goals, and a calculator for what you still owe someone.

Set up in minutes

A setup wizard asks what you want and builds your hub around it. Turn on Showcase mode to see it full of sample data before you add your own.

The look

A dark, calm control room that shows what's running at a glance. These are real screens from SpectreHub in Showcase mode.

Why back SpectreHub

Made independently, for people who run things at home

Your data stays home

SpectreHub runs on your own PC. Your servers, budget, recipes and settings live in its folder there, not on someone else's cloud.

One app instead of a dozen

Game server panels, dashboards, bookmarks, budgeting and recipe apps usually mean separate tools and logins. SpectreHub brings them together.

It's already working

SpectreHub runs a real home server every day: game servers, a media server and the family's apps. Backing it pays to finish it for everyone.

Pay once

The plan is a single price with free updates, not a monthly subscription for software that runs on your own machine.

Questions

Good to know

What do I need to run it?

A Windows 10 or 11 PC (64-bit) that stays on while you want your servers and apps available. The installer brings everything SpectreHub needs to run.

Does it set up game servers for me?

Yes. Pick a game from the list and SpectreHub downloads the server and gets it running. For a game that isn't on the list, add it as any other server with its own start command.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes. Open it in your phone's browser on your home network. Away from home, give it your own web address on the Domain page and sign in from anywhere.

Where does my data go?

It stays in the SpectreHub folder on your PC. Social posts and Discord messages go only where you send them.

Will it be a subscription?

No. The plan is one price with free updates. If something later costs money to run on our side, it would be an optional extra, and SpectreHub would keep working without it.

When can I get it?

The Kickstarter campaign comes first, then the Steam release. Check back here for the launch date.
