Nothing is routed through a third-party cloud, no analytics, no telemetry. Your data stays on your devices and your network. OPEN SOURCE Licensed under GPL-3.0. The full source code is on GitHub. No hidden monetization, no paywalls — pure functionality for people who host their own stack. REQUIREMENTS You need to already be running the services you want to manage (qBittorrent, Radarr, Sonarr, etc.). Dashboarr is a control interface — it does not host or stream content itself, and it does not provide any media. Built for self-hosters, home-lab enthusiasts, and anyone tired of juggling nine browser tabs to manage their home server.
