The app functions purely as a remote control/dashboard that communicates with a user's existing qBittorrent server via its official WebUI API. • Real-time torrent status and filtering • Pause, resume, delete, recheck • Speed limits with quick presets • Multiple server support • HTTPS and reverse proxy compatible • Categories and tags • Dark mode • Secure credential storage Note: This is not a download client, it's a native implementation of the WebUI API for an existing qBittorrent server.
