I built an open source tool to manage multiple NextDNS profiles

I use NextDNS and have multiple profiles for different devices. Updating them individually was annoying - every time I needed to whitelist or blacklist a domain, I had to do it manually on each profile. And whenever NextDNS added new settings, I'd enable them on some profiles but miss others.

 

So I built a tool to fix this.

 

NextDNS Manager lets you:

  • Add/remove domains across multiple profiles at once
  • Sync allowlists and denylists across profiles
  • Compare settings between profiles to spot differences
  • Clone entire profiles(across accounts) with all settings(that are documented at https://nextdns.github.io/api/)

Available as a CLI (npm install -g nextdns-manager-cli) and a web app you can self-host.

Live demo: https://nextdns.abhijithvijayan.in
 

It's open source. If you use NextDNS and have the same problem, give it a try. Feedback and contributions welcome!

    Why have you given your app the same name as an existing Android app?

       It was purely coincidental. And two things can have the same name if both do the similar things especially. The android app you shared feels like a NextDNS Client rather than a Manager(as it’s a WebView wrapper essentially as per their docs).

      The tool I shared above does stuff that NextDNS itself doesn’t let users do directly for bulk profiles. So i named it based on its functionality. Thanks!
