aMule Remote
Read full descriptionHide full description
aMule Remote is a remote control for your aMule server (amuled) running on a NAS, Raspberry Pi, Unraid or any home computer. It connects over the EC (External Connections) protocol, the same one used by aMuleGUI, so you can manage everything from your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Vision Pro or Apple TV. MAIN FEATURES - Transfers: download queue with progress, speed, sources and ETA; pause, resume, stop, priority, categories and delete, also in multi-selection. - Tabbed search: local and global (server), with filters for type, extension and size. Several searches at once, each in its own tab. - Servers: list with users, files and ping; connect with a tap, add and remove, update the list, eD2k and Kad network control. - Server statistics and log in real time. - Offline mode: after the idle period, or when the app goes to the background, the connection is closed to save battery and data, but the last data stays on screen and the connection resumes by itself at the first tap or when you come back. - iCloud sync (optional): your server profiles and their passwords follow you on every device, through your own iCloud account and iCloud Keychain. - Quick actions: long-press the app icon (pause all, resume all, add a link, search); on the Mac the same actions live in the Dock menu and in the Transfers menu. - Notifications: download started and completed, aMule server unreachable or reachable again, connection lost, eD2k/Kad drops and reconnections. Nothing to configure in the app: how you receive them is decided in the system Settings. On iPhone they also reach your Apple Watch. - Apple Watch app: speeds, network status and download queue at a glance. - Apple TV app: transfers, search, servers and statistics on the big screen, driven by the Siri Remote (Play/Pause pauses or resumes the highlighted download); type with the iPhone keyboard or dictate with Siri. - Siri and Shortcuts on every platform: status, download and upload speed, queued downloads, status/pause/resume/priority of a single download, add eD2k links, search files, eD2k and Kad control. - Clipboard: paste several eD2k links at once (or any text that contains them) and share a download's eD2k link to Notes, Messages or Mail. - Guided introduction at the first launch, with restore of your server profiles from the iCloud backup. - Server profiles, light/dark theme, 7 app colors that tint the whole interface, Face ID / Touch ID lock, 7 languages. - On the Mac: full remote editor of the aMule preferences (bandwidth, ports, servers, files, security, folders) and the shared files list. aMule Remote does NOT download files to your device and contains no catalog of content: it is simply a control panel for YOUR aMule server. It collects no personal data; the server address and password stay on your device, in the Keychain (or in your own iCloud account if you turn sync on). Free software under the MIT license. Try it right away with the built-in demo mode, no server needed. Requires an amuled server with External Connections enabled.

LinkPal is a link extractor and manager built for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. With the built-in Safari extension, one tap on any web page automatically detects and extracts ed2k and magnet links, stashing them in the App's data center for unified management. All data is stored locally on your device — no network required, no privacy trade-offs. One-Tap Extraction, Auto Detection The Safari extension scans the current page (including dynamically loaded content), intelligently recognizes ed2k / magnet links, and auto-dedupes and validates them — invalid links are filtered out, only usable resources remain. Copy and stash buttons appear right beside each detected link; the copy button gives instant visual feedback. Organized Management The data center keeps all stashed links in one place with at-a-glance statistics. · Groups: create, rename, delete, and reorder groups freely, file links into them, or auto-archive all ungrouped links by type in one tap. · Automation rules: automatically file newly stashed links into designated groups by domain or link text; rules can be reordered, disabled anytime, or applied to existing links in one tap. · Search & filters: find links by time, name, or size; source / time / size quick-filter chips stay pinned above the list — filter without searching, reset in one tap; groups without matches hide automatically while searching. · Batch actions: single / multi / select-all / invert selection, with batch copy, delete, move-to-group, and favorite. QRify — Web Page QR Codes Turn the current page into a QR code right in Safari, or generate one from manually entered URLs or text; customize foreground color, background color, size, and error-correction level — fully offline. Share with AirDrop Share selected links to nearby devices via AirDrop, or share an entire group at once; the recipient opens the file to preview and import, with duplicates and invalid links skipped automatically. Encrypted Backup — Your Data Stays Yours Encrypt your links, groups, and favorites into a backup file with your own password, and export it anytime; restore after reinstalling or switching devices with the same password. Decryption happens entirely on device. The password is verified locally only — keep it safe, a forgotten password cannot be recovered. Home Screen Widget & Shortcuts A home screen widget shows your stashed count and latest link; system Shortcuts and Siri let you stash a link to LinkPal with a single sentence. Seamless Across Devices Adaptive layouts for iPhone, iPad, and Mac: a three-column hub on iPad, dual-pane landscape on iPhone, and ⌘F to focus search on macOS — one consistent experience. Privacy Protection · All data stored offline; nothing is uploaded to any server. · Device lock: Face ID / Touch ID authentication required to open the App (iOS). · Privacy shield: content auto-hides when switching to the background. · Multiple built-in security protections keep on-device data safe. Clipboard Import Links copied from any source can be imported directly from the clipboard, using the exact same extraction, validation, and dedup logic as the extension. Languages 8 languages with the extension following along: Simplified Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Thai, Traditional Chinese (Taiwan), and Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong). Pricing Core features are free: stash up to 10 links and create up to 5 custom groups. Membership unlocks unlimited stashing, unlimited groups, privacy lock, and privacy protection: 7-day free trial, then monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase — cancel anytime. The QR code extension, Efficiency Pack (widget & Shortcuts), and Data Sovereignty Pack (encrypted backup & automation rules) can also be purchased separately; one-time purchases support Family Sharing. Optional tips are available and unlock nothing. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
