Run Minecraft, ARK & Palworld servers your friends can actually join.
OverWarden turns one Windows PC into a game-server host a non-technical person can run — then helps run it. Installs like an app; manage it from your browser or your phone, anywhere. A built-in AI copilot keeps watch and fixes things with a tap. No Docker, no command line, no router settings — ever.
The games your friends already play
Made for the person who got volunteered to run the server
The family server
The friend group's ARK cluster
The tinkerer's homelab
A control panel that does the worrying for you
A new server in about 60 seconds
Pick a name, a flavor, a version, and how much RAM to give it. OverWarden handles Java versions, ports, and config files so you never see them.
Crashes explained in plain language
Crashed servers restart themselves before anyone messages you. Then OverWarden tells you what happened — out of memory, corrupted world, a bad mod — and hands you the fix.
Snapshot first, always
Nightly backups run themselves, and a safety snapshot lands before anything risky — a mod install, an upgrade, a restore. One click puts everything back.
Friends join from anywhere — no port forwarding
Built-in free tunnels give every server an address that works from outside your house. Send an invite link; approving someone onto the whitelist is one click.
Your whole dashboard, in your pocket
Flip one switch and get a private link to your full dashboard from any phone or laptop, anywhere — no router changes, no setup. Sign in with just your email and a code; your OverWarden password still guards the door.
The server lives where your friends already talk
Status, start/stop, and backups from slash commands. Two-way chat relay so Discord and in-game chat are one conversation. Works across multiple Discords, with account linking.
An admin that watches while you sleep — and does the work
Ask your whole fleet anything in plain words, and the optional copilot can do almost everything the dashboard can — change settings, manage players, install mods, restore a backup, schedule a task. It even hands you a weekly plan and taps you on the shoulder when something needs attention. It proposes; you approve; it never acts on its own.
Built for Palworld's quirks
Palworld's server slowly eats memory — that's the engine, not you. OverWarden watches memory and server FPS through Palworld's admin API and restarts on a schedule to reclaim it: save first, warn players in-game, never while someone's online.
Every server gets a full toolbox
Live console & RCON
Insights with event markers
The Advisor
Players, guilds & sessions
Worlds & saves
Mods without the mess
Review before it writes
The panic button
Sleeping servers
Don't take our word for it — drive the dashboard
This is the real OverWarden interface running on a fake fleet. Open servers, browse mods, trigger backups — nothing can break.
Your servers outlive the manager.
Game servers run as independent Windows processes. Stop OverWarden, update it, even uninstall it — running worlds keep running, and nobody in-game notices.
Simple pricing
Every plan is the full app — plans only differ in how long they last and how many PCs you can link. One-time payments, never a subscription.
Your license key appears right after checkout — paste it into the app and you're done. AI features (crash fixes, Ask OverWarden) use your own Anthropic API key; everything else works without one.
