14 November 2026
v1.0
The first Harbarr release for iPhone: one app for the media services you already run, talking to them over their public APIs. A 7-day free trial, then a launch special of A$4.99 as a one-time purchase — lifetime unlock, no subscription.
Home
A dashboard you can rearrange, with download speed, the queue, Needs attention, Now playing, requests, transcoding, library completeness, hosts and Coming up. Needs attention groups disk space, failed imports, unhealthy indexers, stopped containers and similar issues in one list. Services can be reordered, and More lists every added service in one card.
Library
Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr and Whisparr libraries in a poster grid or list, with Wanted, Queue, filters and an A–Z index. Multi-select (from the ⋯ menu, or by long-press) can search, change quality, move a root folder, or monitor and unmonitor. Manual import is there when a download needs mapping, and you can inspect disk space and root folders. Tapping a stream or Recently added poster opens the matching library title. Whisparr artwork is hidden by default. Demo libraries use illustrated posters for invented titles. Seerr Discover includes a details sheet, filters, search and requests, including folder and 4K destination picks.
Activity & History
Every added download client appears in one Activity tab, with a live queue, History and speed limits. History comes from your *arr services — grabbed, imported, failed, deleted and more — with useful filters. Grabbed and finished-download notifications open Activity › History.
Calendar
What’s coming up this week, including when a movie still isn’t grabbable yet.
Now playing
Streams from Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, Tautulli and Tracearr, including transcode details and Tracearr play details. Tdarr jobs can be inspected, cancelled or skipped, and Unpackerr shows extract queues.
Download clients
qBittorrent, Transmission, Deluge, rTorrent, Flood, SABnzbd, NZBGet and Synology Download Station. Open .torrent, .nzb and magnet links (Share and Open with) and send them to the right client.
Widgets & Live Activities
Home Screen widgets for download speed and active counts, Coming up, and a Host widget for CPU, memory, disk and container health, with a setup picker. Lock Screen widgets come in circular, rectangular and inline sizes. A Live Activity can start with the queue, showing progress, speed, ETA and counts; Tdarr transcodes get their own activity. Compact Dynamic Island labels read DL or Transcode. A setting lets you turn this off or bring one back if you swiped it away.
Hosts
Glances, Unraid, Docker and Portainer: CPU, memory, disks, sensors, arrays and containers, with start, stop, restart and logs.
Siri & Shortcuts
Siri, Shortcuts and Spotlight: what’s downloading, pause or resume all, what’s on today, and open a service.
Apple Watch
An Apple Watch companion is already included in the iPhone build, with glances for Needs attention, the queue, Coming up and Now playing, plus complications. Finishing that for a paired watch is still ahead.
Privacy & iCloud sync
No account or sign-ups, and no tracking. Server addresses, API keys and your library data stay on your device. Backups go only to your personal iCloud, with keys in the iOS Keychain and in iCloud Keychain when you use iCloud backups. Harbarr talks to your servers directly and does not keep a cloud copy of your setup.
Setups
Several named setups, so home, a VPN, or another rack can each keep their own servers and layout. Add Service can discover devices on your Wi-Fi, or import Homepage and Homarr configs.
Settings
An eight-page first-run welcome covers privacy, Library, Activity and Calendar, Now playing, widgets, Hosts, and the 7-day trial. Settings groups demo mode, “Show welcome again”, and export/import in a Data & Demo section. You can include API keys in a settings export, sealed with a password, and import them back into the Keychain. About shows v1.0, licences and supported services.
