lodestar is the remote for the media stack you already run, connected straight from your iPhone to your own servers. Radarr and Sonarr. Prowlarr and Bazarr. Overseerr and Jellyseerr. Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, and Tautulli. NZBGet, SABnzbd, qBittorrent, Transmission, and Deluge. LazyLibrarian and Audiobookshelf for books. One native app for all of it. Deep, not shallow. Each service gets its own screens for browsing and control, not a status widget. Browse and edit your Radarr and Sonarr libraries, add movies and series with root folder, quality profile, and tags, run interactive release searches and push the exact release you want to your download client, manage queues with blocklisting, and check history, missing, and upcoming. Download clients get real control too: reorder and prioritize queues, pause and resume globally or per item, set speed limits, and dig into per-torrent trackers, peers, and file priorities. Torrents included. qBittorrent, Transmission, and Deluge are first-class modules alongside usenet, not afterthoughts. Requests, subtitles, and indexers. Approve what your household asks for through Overseerr or Jellyseerr. Chase down missing subtitles in Bazarr. See which indexer is failing in Prowlarr, which is usually the real answer to "why did nothing download". Your media server too. See who is watching what right now on Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby, stop a stream, and read the viewing history and stats Tautulli keeps. It tells you what is stuck. One screen collects every failed grab, blocked import, stalled download, and health warning across the whole stack, with the fix one tap away. One calendar for everything. Upcoming movies and episodes from every Radarr and Sonarr instance, merged into month and agenda views. Built for real setups. Unlimited profiles for multi-instance stacks (4K and 1080p Radarr side by side), instant profile switching, LAN and WAN addresses with automatic fallback, custom headers, and self-signed certificate support. The connection wizard validates live and tells you exactly why a connection failed. Native and fast. Built in SwiftUI for iPhone and iPad, iOS 17 and up, so it runs on the devices newer apps have already dropped. Full dark mode, haptics, designed empty states, and home screen widgets. No web views pretending to be an app. Your servers stay yours. On your own network, lodestar talks directly from your iPhone to your servers: no account, and nothing sent to us. Optional remote access adds a lodestar account and a relay we run, so the app can reach your servers from anywhere through an agent you install at home. The relay carries traffic it cannot read. API keys live in the iOS Keychain and go only to your servers, or sealed to your own agent when remote access is on. Three ways to use it. The agent and its web app on your own network are free. The iOS app's free tier is one profile with up to two services, direct connections, full functionality. lodestar lifetime, one payment, unlocks the app for good, unlimited profiles and services, and includes thirty days of remote access. lodestar monthly is remote access: reach your servers from anywhere through our relay and the web app, cancel any time in Settings. lodestar is a remote control for servers you already operate. It downloads nothing itself, requires media server software running on your own hardware, and is for content you have the right to.
