The SnapRAID Daemon is the modern companion service designed to move your storage from a manual, terminal-based workflow to an "always-on" background intelligence.
The daemon handles the heavy lifting so you don't have to. It proactively monitors array health and manages the parity lifecycle in the background. If it detects a massive accidental deletion or a hardware error, it triggers a Safety Freeze, protecting your parity until you intervene. It is the intelligence that knows when to work and the restraint to stay silent when your disks are idle.
Move your management from the terminal to the browser. The integrated Web UI provides a high-fidelity command center that is served natively by the daemon, no complex web server setup required.
SnapRAID on Autopilot
Stop managing cron jobs. The daemon handles the full lifecycle of up, diff, sync, and scrub based on your custom schedule, ensuring your parity is never stale.
Listen to Your Disks
Beyond parity, the daemon watches the hardware. With integrated SMART monitoring, it detects pre-failure symptoms and rising temperatures before a drive goes dark.
Spin-down Aware Intelligence
Intelligent logic ensures disks not accessed by applications are automatically spun down. Routine health probes respect standby states to save energy and hardware life.
Defend Against the Accidental
Massive accidental deletion? The daemon's safety thresholds will freeze a sync task instantly, protecting your parity from reflecting a disaster
