Automated ServerPilot Stale App Chase
Every morning, WebRun opens the ServerPilot dashboard, reads every managed app and when it last served meaningful traffic, posts a Telegram nudge listing apps quiet for more than 60 days, and texts you through Twilio if a server has run low on room because of them.
How do I find and clean up unused apps on my ServerPilot servers?
WebRun checks every ServerPilot managed app every morning for ones with no meaningful traffic in the past 60 days, posting a Telegram nudge grouped by server. If old apps are actually crowding a server's disk space, it sends a Twilio text naming the server, so unused apps get chased and cleaned up before they waste room a live app needs.
- Unused apps get flagged before they quietly pile up
- Servers running low on room because of old apps get a same day text
- Removing an app always stays a manual, reviewed decision

Questions, answered
Does it remove or archive the unused app for me?
No. WebRun only reads app activity and flags what's gone quiet. Removing or archiving an app stays a manual step your team takes.
What counts as quiet?
Any managed app with no meaningful traffic for more than 60 days gets flagged in the Telegram nudge.
Why the extra text alert?
The Telegram nudge is routine housekeeping. The text is reserved for when stale apps are actually crowding a server's disk space, which needs faster attention.
