Bring your media services together in a quiet, native home for iPhone and iPad. Connect as many Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Prowlarr, Seerr and Tautulli services as you need. Keep each server distinct while browsing useful combined views. YOUR SERVICES, IN PERSPECTIVE Arrange Home around service health, upcoming releases, downloads, pending requests and current playback. Search your film, series and music libraries with filters and grid or list layouts. DAILY MANAGEMENT, CLOSE AT HAND Add and edit films, series or artists, choose profiles and folders, set monitoring, compare releases, manage downloads, preview file renames and match manual imports. Search every indexer at once through Prowlarr and send a release straight to a download client. Actions identify their originating service, and file deletion requires an explicit choice. A PLACE FOR WHAT’S NEXT See episode, film and album releases in Month or Upcoming calendar views. Add optional local release reminders. Follow requests and reported issues through Seerr, and view playback details, history and statistics through Tautulli. AT HOME ON YOUR DEVICE Upcoming-release and queue widgets show the last fetched information. Shortcuts open Home, Queue, Calendar, Requests or media search. Light and dark appearances, Dynamic Type, native navigation and an adaptive iPad sidebar make room for your way of working. Optional alerts tell you when a release is grabbed, a download finishes, a file is upgraded, Plex adds a title, a stream starts, a request arrives or a service needs attention. SIMPLY YOURS No ads, subscriptions or Managerr account. Services are stored locally on each device. API keys stay in device-only Keychain. Saved snapshots remain available offline; server changes require connectivity. Try the clearly labelled offline demo without a server. Managerr requires your own supported services for real management and does not supply, host or play media. Some actions depend on service capabilities and permissions. Widgets alerts and local reminders use the information last fetched by the app; there is no hosted push notification service.
