## What is Quartermaster?

Quartermaster is a native iOS control centre for your self-hosted stack. Stop wrestling with responsive web UIs on your phone. Browse your library, request new films and shows, watch what is downloading, and monitor your servers, all from one fast, native app that feels like it belongs on iOS.

It is built around two worlds. Entertainment is your media stack: discover, request, download and manage everything across your arr apps, your media server and your downloaders. Command Centre is your home infrastructure: servers, containers, DNS, network, storage and smart home, with health roll-ups and quick actions.

Private by design. Quartermaster is a pure client. It talks directly to the services you already run, on your own hardware, and your credentials are stored encrypted on your device. There is no Quartermaster account and no cloud sitting between you and your stack. The one optional exception is push notifications, which run through a tiny relay that holds no personal data, only an anonymous device token to deliver it. It is off by default, and you can skip it entirely by wiring instant alerts through your own ntfy server instead. Your data stays yours.

Supported services
Media: Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, Jellyseerr, DroppedNeedle, Shelfarr, ReadMeABook, Prowlarr, Jackett, NZBHydra2, Bazarr, SABnzbd, NZBGet, qBittorrent, Transmission, Deluge, qui, Jellyfin, Emby, Plex, Tautulli, Jellystat, Streamystats, Tracearr, Maintainerr, Wizarr, Tdarr, Dispatcharr, Immich, AudioBookshelf, Shelfmark, BookOrbit, Komga and Kavita.

Infrastructure: Portainer, Dockhand, Komodo, Coolify, Arcane, Glances, Beszel, Scrutiny, Dozzle, Unraid, TrueNAS, Synology, UGREEN, Proxmox, Home Assistant, AdGuard Home, Pi-hole, Technitium, NextDNS, Control D, UniFi, Gluetun, Cloudflare, and an SSH terminal.

Key features

Truly unified. Your stack should not feel like separate silos: browse a title, request it, and watch it land without ever leaving the app.

Home and away. Give a service both a local and a remote address. Quartermaster prefers your fast LAN at home and falls back to your remote route when you are out, switching automatically as your network changes.

A real media dashboard. Now Playing, Continue Watching, Next Up, Recently Added and library stats for Jellyfin, Emby and Plex, with tap-through to manage a title in Radarr or Sonarr.

Command Centre. Monitor and control Docker containers, virtual machines, DNS blocking, your NAS array and more. Live stats, logs, and start, stop and restart where it makes sense, plus a full SSH terminal.

The Doctor. A built-in diagnostician that finds what is wrong in plain English and, where it safely can, fixes it in one tap. No log diving.

Make it yours. App icon finishes, accent colours, a tab bar you can arrange, a Hot Bar of shortcuts on Home, an optional one-handed corner button, and a true one-black dark mode.

Notifications, done privately. Local import and failure alerts, a daily release digest, and server threshold warnings. A built-in guide wires instant alerts through your own self-hosted ntfy first, so nothing leaves your server.

Try before you connect anything. A full demo mode lets you explore every screen with realistic data.

One app, one price. Quartermaster Pro unlocks everything with a single purchase. Choose a one-time lifetime unlock or a monthly subscription. No tiers, no add-ons, nothing held back.

Available in English, French, Spanish and German.
Quartermaster is not affiliated with any of the third-party services it supports. You need your own self-hosted instances for it to connect to.

### 5/5 — Simply a masterpiece

*2026-08-02*

Outstanding support and developing on this one! This is my new go to for monitoring and managing my stack.

### 5/5 — Définitivement convaincu

*2026-07-29*

Une application unique, qui concentre absolument tout ce dont vous avez besoin au même endroit, mais également qui mélange intelligemment et élégamment les informations de toutes parts. Aucune autre n’a été pensée comme elle. Très ergonomique, facile à paramétrer selon vos souhaits, optimisée pour une clarté visuelle excellente, elle m’a fait abandonner toutes les autres. 
Un grand merci au développeur pour son travail, ce concept et sa mise en œuvre efficace. 
Une seule suggestion : une traduction de l’interface en français serait maintenant la bienvenue. 
Continuez comme ça !

### 5/5 — Baller

*2026-07-28*

This app is so sick. Being able to monitor my stack in a single pane of glass is next level. This app deserves a lot more recognition!

### 5/5 — Hands down the best media server mobile app

*2026-07-27*

This app gets it right. Simply put, it’s the best one out there. If you run a media server and you own a phone, you owe it to yourself to check this out.

And on top of that, the dev is super responsive and is making improvements every day, building this into an absolutely necessary tool to have.

### 5/5 — So Worth It

*2026-07-26*

Not only is the app awesome and so easy to setup but support is great as well.  The app keeps getting better and more features.  Great Job to the developers

### 5/5 — Great Software

*2026-07-24*

This software is awesome, I don’t typically buy a lot of apps but this app rocks. The price is a little steep at $15 but it works great and has made managing my synology a breeze. App is constantly updated and the developer listens to the community for what they want added.

### 5/5 — Clean UI

*2026-07-23*

Love the UI and the amount of services you can add in.

### 5/5 — Amazing.

*2026-07-21*

What an excellent app, everything in one place is so nice, the UI and the features are great as well. Really excited for the future!

### 5/5 — Worth it

*2026-07-20*

Initially I was hesitant to pay for the pro version but after using it for about a month, it’s well worth it. This app surpasses all my expectations, and the updates keep coming with new features the community asks for. I’ve been in the process of simplifying my homelab and this app gives me the ability to do the majority of my house cleaning tasks in one place.

### 5/5 — Homelabbers Dream

*2026-07-17*

If you are a homelabber I can guarentee this is the app you’ve been looking for. The one stop shop - the one app to rule them all. And only one small price to unlock all features. Worthy to support a hardworking dedicated dev!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.4 — 2026-08-12

NEW
- Eight new connections: UGREEN NAS, Shelfarr, Arcane, ReadMeABook, Dispatcharr, NextDNS, Control D and BookOrbit
- An SSH terminal: add a server and get a full-screen shell, with the commands you save one tap away and the ones that could do damage asking first
- Home Assistant, by room: the dashboard opens as your rooms, each with its own screen, and the house at a glance shows only what you actually own
- Almost every service now opens into real screens with real actions, not just numbers to read
- Request routing rules (Pro): send each Jellyseerr request to the right Radarr or Sonarr, split by film age or whether a show is still going, with separate HD and 4K servers
- Dockhand can tell you when a container has a newer image, checked in the background on your phone
- French, Spanish and German: settings, setup, the error messages and the core screens, switched from Settings with no restart

IMPROVED
- Almost every service got deeper: things that used to be read-only can now act, and every destructive action says what it will do before it does it
- Tautulli: stop a stream from your phone, with an optional message shown on the screen it was playing on
- Bazarr: blacklist a bad subtitle so it is deleted, searched again and never picked twice, or search the providers by hand
- Prowlarr and NZBHydra2: a per-indexer scoreboard and health, so you can see which indexer is actually carrying your stack
- Immich: find a photo by describing it, and pause, resume or empty the server's job queues
- UniFi: block, unblock or reconnect a device, make a guest voucher, and power-cycle a PoE port to reboot a camera, with live per-client rates
- Portainer: update or redeploy a stack, edit its compose file, and scale or force-update a Swarm service
- SABnzbd takes an .nzb file off your phone, qui gets a per-torrent category picker, and Komga, Kavita and Audiobookshelf can scan a library from the app
- Sonarr shows every season on one screen with one tap to monitor the lot, and Lidarr albums open to their full track list
- Browse gained shelves of TV networks, film studios, and Trending films and series, straight from TMDB with no Jellyseerr needed
- Radarr and Sonarr: the custom filters you made on the server show as tappable pills, and the add screen remembers the folder and quality you last used
- Home Assistant grouped by room actually works now, the house at a glance shows only what you own, and controls match your devices
- Requests pick the server when you request from the app too, and anything you routed by hand is left alone
- Notifications: choose which alerts each service sends as chips, and get told when a request is waiting to approve
- Setting up was rebuilt: pick what you run like a shopping list, choose how Home looks, and look around on sample data before you hand over an address
- Polish everywhere: a Done button above every keyboard, VoiceOver on every swipe action, light mode properly tuned, start the week on Monday

FIXED
- Plex: a film only Plex holds now offers Open in Plex, including libraries still on the old agents
- Profiles: deleting a profile removes its services with it, and an empty Home offers to copy from another profile
- Shelfmark: book covers load in search, and behind a reverse proxy on a subpath
- Movies and Shows: the band of dead space above the page after a refresh is gone
- Home credentials: the title tucks away on scroll like every other screen
- TrueNAS: it no longer burns through API keys signed in over plain http, and explains the fix when it happens
- qBittorrent: every row-menu action fires, not just the first one per screen
- The download queue opens straight from a search, and with two clients opens the one holding that download

### 1.1.3 — 2026-07-23

NEW
- Viewer profiles: tap anyone in Watched by for their full watch history, films against shows, most-watched shows, top genres and their request history, computed on your device from your own server
- A rebuilt Stats page: carousels for the week, honest single-hue charts for genres, decades and quality, and a deeper Watching section
- Sort torrents by newest added or most recently finished, across qBittorrent, qui, Transmission and Deluge
- An In cinemas sort for Movies, plus a Monitored filter the library remembers
- Move a series to a different folder, not just films
- Redeem a code from Settings

IMPROVED
- Requests tell the truth: the app checks Radarr and Sonarr directly and says Downloaded the moment a download lands, instead of relaying Jellyseerr's slower library scan
- Watch data found for shows Jellyfin tracked but the app showed nothing for, including episodes marked watched by a Trakt sync or a manual mark
- Ready for Jellyfin 12 and its new sign-in
- Faster cold start, lighter artwork downloads, and screens go properly quiet when you leave them
- Grabs on slow indexers get patience instead of a premature failure

FIXED
- qBittorrent: the app no longer trips the sign-in ban, and says so plainly when one is in force
- Synology: honest DSM permission messages, no more talk of API keys it never had
- Proxmox: guests counted across the whole cluster, no more red flip-flop over one node, clearer write errors
- Wizarr: invites find your verified servers again
- Seeding counts now match qBittorrent's own filter
- Deluge: connects with an empty password, and cookie sessions stick on pinned connections
- Trackpad and mouse clicks land properly on iPad
- Deep Stats: sign-in problems are caught before saving, with a plain explanation
- Bought Pro after testing early builds? Your purchase now unlocks reliably. Buy or restore once and it sticks

### 1.1.2 — 2026-07-20

NEW
- Push notifications, done the private way. Grabs, imports and health warnings from Radarr and Sonarr, and request alerts from Jellyseerr, Overseerr and Seerr, delivered through a tiny relay that stores nothing but an anonymous device token. No account, off by default, one switch to arm, and a setup check that proves the webhooks can actually send and repairs them on the spot.

- Now Playing, noticed. A quiet banner the moment a stream starts on your Plex, Jellyfin, Emby or Tautulli, and live Now Playing cards on the Home screen showing who is watching what.

- Instant alerts, your way. One tap wires each of your services straight to your own ntfy server, no middleman at all.

- Seven services join the stack: Jackett, Wizarr, Shelfmark, Dockhand, Jellystat, Streamystats and Tracearr. Tracker health and cross-tracker search that sends a release straight to your download client, invites without touching a web UI, ebook and audiobook search, container fleets, and watch analytics for your media server.

- Hold transcodes for review in Tdarr? The staged files now show in the app with their size change, and you can accept or reject each one.

- Missing episodes, found. The Series Missing filter opens into every aired-but-absent episode, newest first, with one-tap searches per episode or all at once. The library remembers your sort, flips ascending or descending, and adds a Last aired sort.

- Posters that tell you where things stand: a slim marker on every library poster for in your library, downloading, missing, or not out yet, read out by VoiceOver too.

- Adding, levelled up. Your own Radarr recommends what to add next, alongside your import lists, Trending and Popular, no extra keys needed. Partly-owned collections surface as a rail and complete in a tap. Series add with monitor presets, a season picker, series type and tags. Long-press a suggestion for Not interested and it lands on the exclusion list.

- Requests, easier to judge: any request opens the full title page, overview, ratings, cast and trailers, with Approve right there and a little celebration when it lands.

- iCloud sync (Pro): your setup follows you between devices, encrypted on-device with a passphrase only you know. We could not read it even if we wanted to.

- Make it yours: customise the tab bar, add a shortcut strip to Home, an optional one-handed corner button, and a true one-black dark mode everywhere.

- Answers, built in: a searchable FAQ and troubleshooting guide written from real-world setups, and every connection error offers a Get help link straight into its answer.

IMPROVED
- Queues in your order: move to top, up, down or bottom on all five download clients, swipe actions for the common moves, and anything destructive asks first.

- A back-to-front polish pass: actions confirm with a quiet tick, failures say so plainly, screens note when their data has gone stale, and status indicators breathe when healthy and hold still when something needs you.

FIXED
- Calendar dates now match your Radarr exactly, wherever you live.

- Webhook payload changes in newer Jellyseerr and Seerr are detected and handled automatically.

- A long list of fixes across Deluge sessions, Wizarr, AdGuard Home on routers, Plex sharing, Doctor reporting and more, most of them straight from user reports.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-07-06

The biggest update yet, and a lot of it came from you.

NEW
- Run multiple Radarr and Sonarr in one profile. Your 4K and 1080p libraries merge and dedupe, you choose where a new grab lands, and a short tag on each keeps them straight.

- Self-signed certificates, sorted. Anything behind a self-signed cert (UniFi, Unraid, Proxmox, your NAS) connects. Check the fingerprint once, trust it, and only that exact certificate  is ever accepted. It covers logins, controls and data now, not just status checks.

- Edit a request's server, quality and root folder before you approve, right in the app.

- Your Unraid, rebuilt around storage: array usage and free space, per-disk bars with temperature and health, live parity progress, CPU and memory trends, Docker images with update flags and in-app logs, and your server's own alerts up top.

- Your UniFi network, live: real-time up and download speeds with a rolling graph, devices grouped by type, and each access point and switch showing how many clients are on it and how hard they're pulling.

- Find the torrents actually downloading. qBittorrent, Transmission, Deluge and qui float them to the top, with filters for Downloading, Seeding, Paused and Completed.

- Now Playing for power users: streams, direct plays and transcodes with bandwidth, per-track decisions, device and position. Tap any stream for the full picture.

- Your DNS in full: Pi-hole, AdGuard and now Technitium, each with a query timeline and a breakdown of where every request went, cached, forwarded or blocked.

- Save an interactive-search filter by quality, size, seeders and indexer, then reuse it in one tap.

NEW SERVICES
qui, Dozzle, UniFi, TrueNAS, Maintainerr, Scrutiny, Gluetun, Beszel and Synology, each with a proper dashboard, not just a status light.

FIXES, MOST FROM YOUR REPORTS
- Unraid stays connected, even with no UPS daemon running.

- Services on a separate VLAN no longer pass the test then read as unreachable, and switching between your home and remote addresses is steadier, at home, away and over Tailscale.

- Proxmox tasks open in full so you can see why a job failed, and setup spells out the token permissions it needs.

- The download numbers on the Stack and the SABnzbd screen always agree now.

Every one of these landed because someone asked. Keep the reports and requests coming.
