About

AndorQbit

Features
Read full description

AndorQbit is a native remote control for a qBittorrent server that you run yourself — on a home NAS, a Linux box, a Raspberry Pi or a VPS. It is a fast, focused front end for the official qBittorrent Web API, built entirely in SwiftUI. IMPORTANT: this app is a remote control, not a downloader. It requires your own qBittorrent installation. Nothing is downloaded to your iPhone or iPad — every transfer runs on your server, and the app shows status and sends commands. WHAT YOU CAN DO • See all transfers with live speed, progress, ETA and ratio • Start, stop, force recheck, reannounce and delete transfers • Filter by state, category or tag, and sort by any column • Inspect a transfer in detail: file tree with per-file priority, trackers, peers • Add transfers by magnet link, .torrent file or URL • Share a magnet or .torrent into the app from Safari or Files • Edit server preferences: speed limits, queueing, save paths, connection settings • Manage several servers and switch between them instantly • Get a notification when a download completes BUILT FOR PRIVACY There is no account, no backend and no tracking. Your server address and credentials stay on your device — passwords are kept in the iOS Keychain and never leave it. The app talks only to the server you configure, and nothing else. NO CONTENT DISCOVERY AndorQbit contains no search, no indexers, no tracker lists and no catalogs. It does not help you find content — it manages transfers that already exist on your own server. REQUIREMENTS A reachable qBittorrent instance with the Web UI enabled (version 4.1 or later, including 5.x). Connect over your local network, or from anywhere through your own VPN.
