Captain qBit

about

description

Captain qBit is a modern Android app for managing a qBittorrent instance remotely over its Web API. It's a client for your self-hosted qBittorrent server — not a standalone downloader. Features: * Live torrent list with global and per-torrent speeds, progress, and ETA * Sort, search, and filter by status, category, tracker, or tags from a drawer sidebar * Category and tags shown as chips, with a colour you can pick per category * Manage multiple servers and switch between them * Add torrents via magnet links or .torrent files, with category, save path, start-paused, and Automatic Torrent Management options * Choose which files to download when adding, and set per-file priorities from the Files tab * Create categories on the fly, manage tags, recheck, reannounce, rename, and change save paths * Detailed view with Info, Files, Trackers, and Peers tabs, including a browsable file tree * Light, Dark, or System theme, with optional Material You dynamic colours * Per-app language override, independent of your device's system language, with community translations via Weblate * Optional status notification, plus opt-in alerts when a download or force-recheck finishes, with configurable refresh intervals to trade freshness for battery life * Browse RSS feeds and articles, with auto-download rules and notifications for new matches * Encrypted backup and restore of your servers and settings * Clear failure reasons when a torrent errors, instead of a bare "error" * Optional HTTP Basic Auth for servers behind a reverse proxy, plus self-signed certificate support — approve the certificate's fingerprint in-app, per server * Sign in with a qBittorrent 5.2 API key instead of a username and password, or leave both empty for a server whose reverse proxy authenticates on its behalf * Choose when alerts may make a sound — always, never, or everything outside a quiet-hours window you set * Schedule the alternate speed limits: pick the time window and the days it applies to, and the server switches limits on its own * Works with qBittorrent 4.x and 5.x Captain qBit began as a fork of qBittorrent Manager by Yash Garg and builds on that foundation. It is free and open source under the GPL-3.0 license. Source code and issue tracker: https://github.com/Acamol/Captain-qBit
