Common questions

Which routers does Glint work with?

Tested on the GL.iNet Mudi 7 (GL-E5800) and GL-BE3600 (Slate 7). Most current OpenWrt 23.05-based GL.iNet boards work out of the box — older ones (Mudi V2, Slate AX, Beryl AX, Mango, Flint 1) work with occasional manual tweaks. Anything OpenWrt-derived with ubus, logread and uci should respond.

How do I connect my router?

The first-run wizard walks you through it: enable SSH on the router (one toggle in the GL.iNet web UI), drop in an ed25519 key, hit Verify. Glint stores nothing about your router on our servers — the SSH session is point-to-point.

Why does the SSH session keep dropping?

Most often: the router's dropbear MaxStartups rejects parallel handshakes. Glint serialises probes through one persistent session, so the most common cause is a competing client (your terminal, another app) racing the daemon. Set Settings → Refresh interval back to the default 15 s and close other SSH clients.

Push notifications never arrive.

Pushes only fire when the glintd companion daemon is installed on the router. Install it from Settings → Router daemon → Install. Then verify in Settings → Notifications that the permission prompt was granted. If iOS suppressed it earlier, toggle the switch off + on to re-prompt.

Live Activity won't start.

Make sure Settings → Live Activities is on at the iOS level (it's per-app — check it in Settings.app, not in Glint). Then tap the antenna icon in Glint's top toolbar. The first start can take 5–15 s while ActivityKit allocates a push token; subsequent starts are instant.

My SMS list is empty.

Glint reads SMS via smstools3's spool directory (/var/spool/sms). Most GL.iNet firmwares ship it, but a few don't enable it for the modem out of the box. If the directory is missing, install smstools3 via opkg install smstools3 and reboot once.

Where does the data live?

Per-router endpoint settings + private keys live in your device's keychain. Time-series history (battery, signal, throughput) is stored on the router itself by glintd in a small SQLite file. Glint never relays your metrics to any third party. Read the full privacy policy for details.

Universal Purchase — one app, every device?

Yes. Buy Glint once and run it on iPhone, iPad and Mac under the same Apple ID. Settings, accent and router list iCloud-sync between them.

Refunds.

Refund requests go through the App Store directly — Apple handles them. You can ask via reportaproblem.apple.com.
