Use the Rust+ app on your Rust server: install Rust+ on your phone, join your server, press ESC, open the Rust+ menu and click Pair with Server. Then your server shows up in the app.
Rust+ is the official Rust companion app from Facepunch. Once paired, you see your Rust server on your phone: player count, game time, the full map, your online teammates and team chat. You can also pair Smart Switches and Smart Alarms to control your base electricity remotely.
How to use the Rust+ app on your Rust server
- Download the Rust+ App from the Google or Apple app store (Google Play Store / Apple App Store) and install it on your mobile.
- Start your server and connect to it.
- Once you are inside the server, press the ESC key and click the Rust+ menu.
- Click the Pair with Server option and follow the instructions.
Common Issues
- App pairing in an endless loading: try to delete the server from the Rust+ app and pair it again.
- App does not recognise the server: double-check that you have internet enabled on your mobile. If yes, reinstall the app and retry the steps.
Rust+ app questions
How do I pair the Rust+ app with my Rust server?
Install Rust+ on your phone, join your Rust server, press ESC, open the Rust+ menu and click Pair with Server, then follow the instructions in the app.
Rust+ keeps loading when I pair. What do I do?
Delete the server from the Rust+ app and pair it again from the in-game Rust+ menu. If the app still does not recognise the server, check your phone's internet connection, then reinstall the app and repeat the steps.
Does Rust+ work on console?
This guide covers Rust on PC, where you pair from the Rust+ menu in the ESC screen. Rust Console Edition is a separate game; check Facepunch's official Rust+ page for which versions the app supports.
