Spacearr allows you to monitor your hard disk space on you computer via an Android phone or via a Windows UWP app. This is done without opening any ports on a computer but by using a message service from Pusher. The messaging service that Pusher offers us is a "Pub/Sub" service, which is an asynchronous messaging service which is used by the computer and Android/UWP app to communicate to one another.
This is the app that is used on the Android phone to check the different drives on the computer. You can see the total space and as well as the free space. You will get notifications every 15 minutes if there is low space.
This is the app that is used on the Windows computer to check the different drives on the computer. You can see the total space and as well as the free space.
This is the Windows service that you will install onto the computer so that the computer and Android/UWP app can communicate.
This is the Windows worker service that you will install onto the computer so that the computer and Android/UWP app can communicate. It is basically the same as a Windows service, but more modern and uses the .Net Core Framework. See this Stackoverflow answer for more information.
