Feature overview

Operations tools for self-hosted game servers.

GameWarden runs on the owner's Windows machine and gives owners and trusted admins a browser dashboard for routine server work.

Host-owned runtime

The Windows host owns installs, config files, ports, server processes, and runtime state. The website and dashboard are controllers over that host.

Server lifecycle

Create, import, start, stop, restart, update, and monitor supported servers without juggling scripts and file paths by hand.

Configuration help

Use supported settings dialogs and ARK INI tooling for common edits, with raw config still staying on the owner machine.

Remote dashboard

Connect through the browser dashboard when the host is online and remote access is enabled.

Shared admins

Invite trusted people to help manage servers through GameWarden instead of handing out direct machine access.

Recovery visibility

Surface stopped, starting, updating, and problem states so the host machine is easier to keep healthy.

Supported modules in current builds

ARK: Survival Ascended ARK: Survival Evolved Palworld

GameWarden is in active alpha development, so exact workflows are still being hardened before broader access opens.
