Linode has the Cloud Manager. It's a website for managing your suite of Linode products. It's pretty comprehensive and, IMHO, pretty easy to use. Still not everything is explained as well as it could be...and some of the switches/buttons have arcane functions that are not explained at all (you have to be an expert in the area of virtualization or storage or networks) so that you just "don't touch that"...even though the function might be useful if you understood it better.

There used to be a separate mobile app but it's was deprecated long ago. The Cloud Manager is mobile-friendly...it's the same site with the same functionality as the desktop site.
