Introduction

PalCommand is a desktop app for running Palworld dedicated servers. It installs them, starts and stops them, watches their players and performance, backs them up, and pushes patch-day updates when Palworld ships a new build.

Free use manages one server, no time limit. A license removes that cap; see palcommand.com/pricing for current pricing and Licensing for what a license changes and what it never touches. A lapsed license never stops a server that is already running.

Where you work

The Dashboard is the sidebar’s first entry: a stats strip, then a card grid with one card per server, showing its status, players, and quick actions. Click a card, or its Open button, to reach that server’s own page: a hero with its name, status, and start/stop/restart actions, over eight tabs (Overview, Console, Players, Settings, Backups, Schedule, Network, Mods) that cover everything about that one server. See The Interface for a walk through the shell itself.

Status colors

The sidebar lists every server you manage, each with a small status dot next to its name. Those colors are the app’s status language, and they mean the same thing everywhere they appear: on a dashboard card, in the sidebar, and on a server’s own page.

  • green: running
  • amber, pulsing: starting, stopping, or updating
  • gray: stopped. Stopped is not an error. Start it again anytime.
  • red: crashed, or stuck in a crash loop

PalCommand is not affiliated with Pocketpair and ships no game assets of its own.
