About

Bhiu

Features
Read full description

Bhiu is a calm, independent app for your own OpenWrt router. See your network's pulse at a glance, then act on it โ€” without opening a browser or remembering a single command. Bhiu talks only to the router address you enter, and to nothing else. There is no account, no analytics, and no Igney server in between. PULSE A live traffic wave and one plain sentence telling you how the network is doing. Download and upload as they happen, uptime, memory, WAN address, and the full routing table when you want the detail. DEVICES Everything on your network in one list, with names, addresses, signal strength and how long each has been connected. Tap any device for the full picture โ€” and pause its internet access with one button when you need to. WI-FI Every radio and SSID your router exposes, with the clients on each. Turn a guest network off for the evening and back on in the morning. CONTROL Restart a service, wake a sleeping machine over the network, or reboot the router and watch it come back on its own. BUILT FOR THE JOB - Save more than one router and switch between them from Settings. - Connects over HTTP or HTTPS, with certificate pinning for routers using a self-signed certificate. - Degrades gracefully: router firmwares differ in what they expose, so a feature yours does not offer dims instead of breaking the app. - No third-party frameworks of any kind โ€” Apple's system frameworks only. NO ROUTER HANDY? Tap "Try the demo" on the welcome screen and explore every feature against a fully simulated router: live traffic, the device list, pausing a device, Wi-Fi toggles, service restarts, Wake-on-LAN, and a complete reboot cycle. REQUIREMENTS An OpenWrt router with LuCI installed (ubus and rpcd reachable over HTTP or HTTPS) and its administrator password. Wake-on-LAN additionally needs the etherwake package on the router. Tested against OpenWrt 21.02 โ€” other versions with LuCI installed are expected to work. Bhiu is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the OpenWrt project.

About

AndorQbit

Features
Read full description

AndorQbit is a native remote control for a qBittorrent server that you run yourself โ€” 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 โ€” every transfer runs on your server, and the app shows status and sends commands. WHAT YOU CAN DO โ€ข See all transfers with live speed, progress, ETA and ratio โ€ข Start, stop, force recheck, reannounce and delete transfers โ€ข Filter by state, category or tag, and sort by any column โ€ข Inspect a transfer in detail: file tree with per-file priority, trackers, peers โ€ข Add transfers by magnet link, .torrent file or URL โ€ข Share a magnet or .torrent into the app from Safari or Files โ€ข Edit server preferences: speed limits, queueing, save paths, connection settings โ€ข Manage several servers and switch between them instantly โ€ข 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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.
