What it does
- Hotspot voucher management — generate, print, enable/disable, edit, and bulk-manage users and vouchers, no CLI required
- Vouchers that actually expire — installs a cleanup scheduler on the router, fixing the well-known RouterOS v7 expiry bug (Mikhmonv3)
- Customizable login page — guests log in with a code only or a code + password, in English or French; show your prices and a number to call to buy a ticket, preview live, and upload straight to the router
- User & profile management — create profiles with validity, price, bandwidth, and data-quota controls
- Sales reports — daily and monthly sales from the vouchers guests actually use, with CSV export
- Hotspot logs — logins, logouts, failed logins and cleanup removals, searchable and exportable to CSV
- Live monitoring — active sessions, bandwidth per interface, WAN status, hosts and DHCP leases, with one-click disconnect for active sessions
- Troubleshoot — a one-click internet check from the router (cable, provider's box, internet, DNS) that says in plain words where the problem is, a one-click switch to public DNS, and a speed test
- Maintenance — spots a wrong router clock and turns on automatic time, checks for RouterOS updates, and restarts the router
- Coming from Mikhmon? — converts your existing Mikhmon v3 vouchers and profiles in one step (beta)
- Automatic router discovery — finds MikroTik devices on your LAN via MNDP
- English and French — the whole app, and the guest login pages
- Update notice — tells you when a new Pikro version is out; it never updates itself
- Multi-platform — single binary for Windows and macOS (Apple Silicon)
- Local-first — runs on your machine, no telemetry, credentials never leave your computer
A free, open-source alternative to Mikhmon — built for ISPs, café/hotel operators, and community WiFi admins who sell or hand out WiFi vouchers and want a simple, reliable tool in markets where MikroTik is dominant.

Vouchers
Pick from 3 printable templates, each with a live preview before you print:
- Modern — compact professional cards, light spacing, ~60 per page
- Business — includes a scannable QR code that logs the user in directly, ~40 per page
- Voucher — one code with a QR code, for the "Code only" login page
The QR code is generated entirely client-side (no external service, no network
call — the old "generate it via Mikhmon's website" workaround isn't needed).
When the hotspot profile's auth mode supports it (http-pap), the code carries the
username and password pre-filled, so scanning it connects the user straight
away with no typing.

Quick start
Download the build for your platform from Releases and run it.
On macOS, open the .dmg and drag Pikro into Applications; on Windows, run the .exe directly.
Pikro runs as a tray application. Starting it places an icon in the menu bar
(macOS) or system tray (Windows). Click Open Pikro to open the app in
your browser, or Quit to stop the server.
A firewall prompt may appear on first run — click Allow so Pikro can reach
your router over the local network.
./pikro
# Pikro running at http://localhost:8080
Note: Release binaries aren't code-signed yet (see
Releases — each build carries a
SLSA provenance attestation proving it was built from
this repo, but isn't Apple/Microsoft-signed). On first run:
