YARK

A look at the app

Screenshots

See the day-to-day operator workflow: configure servers, review SteamCMD jobs, edit INI settings, manage mods and backups, and check cluster or hosted-resource state. Screens may change during prerelease development.

Servers overview — fleet metric strip, survivors and process RAM/CPU, sort/view controls, Update All, and queue status that opens Downloads.
Downloads — SteamCMD install, update, and verify jobs in one queue, with Pause/Resume and a live console.
Setup assistant — configure shared paths and Windows behavior, then create or import the first server.
Server configuration — identity, ports, access, cluster membership, and Auto-start in one panel.
Map search — open the picker from server configuration to search official maps and map mods before assigning one.
Launch tab — search curated ASA flags by token, description, or group; Extra arguments and the command preview stay visible.
Mods — Discover browse with categories and pagination, dense load-order table, and detail screenshots/description on inspect.
Visual INI editor — edit GameUserSettings.ini with searchable, described controls.
Server Backups — shared destination, Backup now in the history toolbar, world schedule, and restore for world / players / INI.
Maintenance — schedule restarts, optional wild dino wipe, and opt-in auto-update with in-game chat warnings while YARK is open.
Ark Server API — optional community API install, Load on Start, and plugin enable/disable (experimental; not Wildcard).
Configuration assistant — experience cards and a guided six-step wizard; nothing is written until the final review.
Hosted Resources — serve text, INI, or JSON from this PC at a local URL instead of maintaining a separate Gist.
Backups — fleet health badges, disk usage, destinations, and alerts across servers.
Clusters — create and membership, INI templates, and Cluster ID / shared directory compliance.
Logs — problems and activity across servers, with drill-down into each server’s Logs tab.
Settings — app-wide preferences by category, including Desktop alerts and the setup assistant.
