YaArr — Your Self-Hosted Servers, One App A native iOS companion app for monitoring and managing your self-hosted media server stack. YaArr provides a unified remote interface for your *arr services and server applications — no cloud backend, no account required. YaArr contains no media catalog, no player, and no content of its own. It does not host, stream, or store media, and nothing is ever downloaded to your device. Every screen shows data from software you already run on your own hardware, and every action is a command sent to that software. SUPPORTED SERVICES Media Management: • Sonarr — TV series management • Radarr — Movie management • Lidarr — Music management Indexers & Search: • Prowlarr — Indexer management • Newznab-compatible indexers you configure yourself Subtitles: • Bazarr — Subtitle management Requests & Discovery: • Overseerr — Media requests • Jellyseerr — Jellyfin media requests Download Clients: • SABnzbd, NZBGet, qBittorrent, Deluge, Transmission • Remote queue monitoring, pause/resume, and status Monitoring & Stats: • Tautulli — Plex activity and stats • Jellystat — Jellyfin statistics User Management: • Wizarr — User invitations Server Access: • SSH Terminal and SFTP file browser REMOTE DASHBOARD Your Home tab gives you an at-a-glance overview of everything happening across all your servers. See queue status, upcoming calendar items, active streams, and recent additions — all in one place. LIBRARY MANAGEMENT Browse and manage your media libraries remotely. View your TV series, movies, and music collections. Check episode details, monitor missing content, and keep everything organized without opening a browser. QUEUE MONITORING Monitor your server queues in real time. See what's active, what's queued, and what needs attention. Get badge alerts when items need intervention so nothing slips through the cracks. DISCOVER & REQUEST Browse trending and upcoming movies and TV shows, and submit or manage media requests through Seerr. Search the indexers you have configured on your own Prowlarr or Newznab server and hand results to your own download client — the same actions those tools offer in their web interfaces. MULTI-SERVER & PROFILES Connect as many servers as you need. Create profiles to organize servers into groups — perfect for managing separate setups or switching between environments with a single tap. BUILT FOR iOS YaArr is designed from the ground up as a native iOS app with the latest Liquid Glass design language. It's fast, fluid, and feels right at home on your iPhone. • Siri Shortcuts — Automate common tasks with built-in shortcuts • Pull-to-refresh on every screen • Secure credential storage using the iOS Keychain PRIVACY & SECURITY Your server credentials never leave your device. API keys are stored securely in the iOS Keychain, and all communication happens directly between your device and your servers. No third-party cloud. No account required. GET STARTED IN SECONDS Add a server, enter your URL and API key, and you're connected. YaArr auto-detects the service type and links instantly.
