Frequently asked questions
Why is RustPocket paused?
Changes to Rust+ affected key features. We have disabled the app and closed new subscriptions and downloads. The app status page explains what changed.
Is this made by Facepunch?
No. RustPocket is an independent companion for Rust+ players. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Facepunch Studios.
Can I get banned for using it?
We cannot promise that every external tool is allowed on every Rust server. RustPocket is currently disabled.
Does my whole team need to subscribe?
RustPocket is paused. New subscriptions are unavailable. The feature descriptions here refer to the last released version.
Is there a free trial?
No. Free trials and new subscriptions are closed while RustPocket is paused.
Is there a free tier?
RustPocket is currently unavailable, including any free access.
Can I cancel?
Existing customers can open the billing portal from the account page to review or cancel their subscription. Contact us there if you need help.
Will it run on macOS or Linux?
No. RustPocket is a Windows desktop program, 10 or 11, 64-bit. It does not run in a browser, and any site offering it as a phone app for PC is not us.
How is this different from the Rust+ phone app?
The phone app is built for a phone, so it shows you one thing at a time. This is built for a monitor, so it holds the map, the vending scan, your smart switches and the event feed at once. It also stays connected: it reconnects on its own, refreshes stale data, and keeps the PC awake while it runs.
Which languages does the app speak?
Ten: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Polish, Turkish and Dutch. Every panel, command reply and settings label is translated. Switch from the top bar or Settings and the interface changes on the spot, without a restart. Team chat commands answer to English and German aliases on top.
What happens when the server drops?
It reconnects on its own, refreshes data that went stale during a long silence, and keeps the PC awake while it is connected. It is built to sit running for days.
Do I have to set it up again every wipe?
No. R2 keeps a registry of your servers, so you switch between your main wipe, a staging server and a friend's server without redoing anything.
Pairing is the step that trips most people. The setup page has the fixes for the usual Rust+ failures.
