Hi everyone. I made an iphone app to manage my Sparks. Check my LinkedIn post:
This is great! I have been hoping for something that would run my commands to an agent/harness on my spark over tailscale and send me a notification when it’s done.
Any chance you are taking feature requests? :)
He does ;)
Thank you for this I think the APP looks great. Mobile DGX access is very useful when you are running long jobs and tailing logs. Thank you for developing a standalone app for DGXspark.
I was hoping someone was going to make an APP for DGX after I posted this.

One thing that would be useful is having the DGX console as a default app. I tried to add as a custom port and could not get it to work.
Thank you for all you great posts, they have been very useful, I really appreciate it. Here is a notification script.
Notification Script
Just edit your phone number for iMessage and create a Gmail App password and you are good to go. You will receive a nicely formatted iMessage and Email on completion of your script.

Thank you for testing the app.
Sure. I will do my best to be agile, but I am dealing with many projects and deadlines. Please post it through GitHub or email me. I’ll cure a to-do list an work on them.
Cool. I missed your post as the forum is huge and I don’t check it frequently. Adding DGX console would be amazing.
I’ve contacted a friend at NVIDIA to see if they’re interested in taking over the app and grow it. At the same time, I’ll expand it as much as I can. Developing the android version is a high priority as I have received multiple requests for it
Good idea contacting Nvidia. I think it would be great if Nvidia took over the App and created a suite of Apps for iPhone, Android, Mac and Windows.
There are very simple Apps that we need.
-
Nvidia iCloud app it probably the first essential App.
I do Borg Backups, Mac Backups and Wasabi but still trip over on permissions etc occasionally and get silent fails etc. For Nvidia this would be the start of a services business on DGXspark. -
A wrapper for setting up SMB drives on Mac and WIndows for drag drop functionality.
-
Launcher App
I have created my own launcher app on Mac where I can just drop a file on an App in the dock and it executes on DGX.
There are countless apps to build that can reduce the necessity of CLI knowledge and expand the user base.
- It would be nice to get clarity from Nvidia on the roll out of NIM for DGXspark, this it probably the biggest thing for me.

Let’s talk Ernest. I think there’s some synergy with Spark Arena initiative. Now that Drew @dbsci is joining forces with @eugr and I to integrate his project https://sparkrun.dev into the other projects under the umbrella and provide a more consistent experience to Spark owners.
One use case you get for free would be importing new LLM recipe registries and executing those recipes from your app.
Thank you for your contribution ernest.namdar! I’m moving this thread to GB 10 Projects.
