A healthier network, on autopilot.

Some access points and cameras just run better after a regular restart. UnifiCycler talks to your local UniFi controller and power-cycles them on your schedule.

Devices

Loads your access points and cameras from the controller. Restart selected devices on demand.

Flexible schedules

Once, daily, weekly on chosen days, or every so many hours (1 to 168).

Staggered restarts

Space out restarts, 0 to 300 seconds apart, so coverage never drops all at once.

Notifications

A notification and an activity-log entry for every restart.

Runs in the background

Closing the window doesn’t quit it. Launch at login keeps schedules going after a reboot.

Secure by default

Credentials stay in your Keychain, and the controller’s certificate is pinned on first connect.

Connect and schedule.

Sign in to your controller once, then create as many schedules as you like.
