Quartermaster — your self-hosted media stack, on your phone
qmstack.com
A native iOS controller for eleven self-hosted services — Radarr, Sonarr, Jellyfin and more. No accounts, no backend; your library never leaves your servers.

I’m a solo dev and I got tired of not having a good iOS app to manage my self-hosted media stack, so I built one.

Quartermaster connects to Radarr, Sonarr, SABnzbd, NZBGet, qBittorrent, Jellyseerr, Overseerr, Jellyfin, Emby, Lidarr, Prowlarr and Bazarr. Manage your library, approve requests, watch your download queues, see active streams — from your phone.

The part I care about most: it’s pure client-side. No backend, no analytics, no accounts. Your server credentials are stored on-device in the iOS Secure Enclave and the app only ever talks to the servers you point it at. Nothing leaves your phone.

It’s in TestFlight beta now and I’m looking for testers — especially if you run qBittorrent or a less common setup. Free to test.

Happy to answer anything about how it works.

      It’s a paid closed-source app, so no, the repo’s not public, same as most paid apps on the store. This community leans open source and that’s fair, but “not open source” and “AI slop” are two completely different accusations and you’re mashing them together.

      Yeah, I used AI to help with the site, because I’m a sysadmin, not a marketer, I don’t know the first thing about landing pages and I’m not going to pretend I do. The app is a different story. I’ve been in IT 11 years. I run this exact stack myself, every day, and I built this because I was sick of bouncing between web UIs on my phone. The architecture is mine: pure client-side, credentials in the Secure Enclave, no backend, nothing in the middle touching anyone’s logins. The testing is mine too, I’ve spent entire nights debugging connection bugs that only ever show up on real hardware, a qBittorrent cookie issue and an ATS quirk that silently breaks Tailscale, the kind of thing no “vibe code” ever finds because it requires actually understanding the stack and testing it properly.

      So by all means, don’t buy it if closed source is a dealbreaker, that’s a totally legitimate call. But “fuck off” and “shilling” aimed at someone who’s answered every single question here honestly says more about you than it does about the app. I’m happy to talk to anyone engaging in good faith. You’re clearly not.

            It’s a paid closed-source app

            I am not asking for participance

            I am looking for beta testers

            You are asking people to QA a commercial product for you. Are you paying them? This is a job advertisement.

              I beta test things all the time that otherwise are paid commercial products. I do a lot of beta testing for BetaBound. In fact, I was one of the fortunate ones to beta test the roku when it first started. This is not unusual, to ask people that are willing, to beta test a product. Currently I am beta testing a ‘rumba’ type floor sweeper. Can’t go into details because of non-disclosure. Usually, after the beta test is over, you are allowed to keep the product.

              It’s free to test, and nobody’s obligated to anything, it’s entirely down to people who actually want to. Beta testers get the full app and all the Pro features for free, during the beta and after as a thank you. That’s just how beta testing works, people who run this stack and are curious get early access and help shape it, and they get the paid product for nothing in return.

              Calling that a job advert is a stretch. It’s an optional beta with a free product attached, not unpaid labour. If it’s not for you, no worries, just scroll past

                  Self-Hosted isn’t a job board, though. If you’re going to post job listings, there are better places to do that.

                    • Do c/selfhosted members run the *arr stack? Yes, probably the vast majority of them.
                    • Does OP have a product that integrates with the *arr stack? Yes.
                    • Is OP asking you to buy his product. No. He’s asking you, if you are interested, to beta test a product, and in the end your reward is to keep the product you helped beta test.

                    This is not an outlandish or usual scenario.
