Why choose HedgieMate over other TeslaMate apps?
HedgieMate is the only TeslaMate app with a free tier, native support for 5 Apple platforms (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, Vision Pro), and 6 languages. Your data stays on your server - no cloud, no account required.
What do I need before using HedgieMate?
You need a running TeslaMate instance and TeslaMate API installed on the same server. No server? Use MyTeslaMate hosted service instead.
I don't have a server - can I still use HedgieMate?
Yes! Use MyTeslaMate, a hosted TeslaMate service with API access included. No Docker, no server setup required. HedgieMate works with MyTeslaMate out of the box.
Which Apple devices work with HedgieMate?
iPhone (iOS 18+), iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, and Vision Pro. Same purchase works across all your Apple devices through Family Sharing.
