BitRemote

BitRemote is a mobile application that lets you control your download clients remotely from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Instead of needing to be at your computer, you can manage downloads running on services like qBittorrent, Transmission, Synology Download Station, and others directly from your Apple device. The app connects to your existing download clients over your network, giving you control no matter where you are.

The app works by connecting to your download clients through their web interfaces or APIs. You add each client by entering its host information and credentials. Once connected, you can see all active downloads, monitor transfer speeds in real-time, and perform basic management tasks like pausing, resuming, or deleting downloads. BitRemote also includes organizational features like filtering by status and backing up your client configurations.

This tool is particularly useful for people who run downloads on a home server, NAS device, or always-on computer. If you frequently use torrent clients or download managers and want to check progress or make changes without being physically present at that machine, BitRemote provides a straightforward solution. The app offers a free version with optional subscription (BitRemote+) that removes ads and unlocks additional features like unlimited clients and advanced task insights.
