No account or sign-ups
There is nothing to register. Open the app, add your servers, and you’re in.
Launch special
Harbarr
Where your services dock
One iPhone app for the media services you already run. Libraries, downloads, requests, streams, transcodes and hosts — on your device, not on someone else’s account.
7-day free trial, then A$4.99 once. Lifetime unlock, no subscription.
Private by design
We don’t run a Harbarr account, and we don’t want your server details. What you connect stays with you.
No tracking or analytics
The app doesn’t include analytics SDKs, advertising identifiers or usage trackers. This website doesn’t either — no cookies, no analytics, no third-party scripts.
No data kept by us
Server addresses, API keys and your library data stay on your device. Backups go only to your personal iCloud, with keys in iCloud Keychain. We don’t operate a cloud copy of your setup.

Supported services
Add the servers you already run. Harbarr talks to them over their public APIs and includes none of their code. Details, official sites and trademark notes.
Everything in one dock
Built for people who already host this stack, not for a single service.
Home
- A dashboard you can rearrange: 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.
- Several named setups, so home, a VPN, or another rack can each keep their own servers and layout.
Library, Discover and requests
- Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr and Whisparr libraries in a poster grid or list, with Wanted and Queue.
- Multi-select to search, change quality, move a root folder, or monitor and unmonitor.
- Seerr Discover with filters, search and requests, including folder and 4K destination picks.
- Manual import when a download needs mapping before it can land in the library.
Activity, calendar and downloads
- Every added download client in one Activity tab, with a live queue, History and speed limits.
- History from your *arr services: grabbed, imported, failed, deleted and more, with useful filters.
- A calendar of what’s coming up, including when a movie still isn’t grabbable yet.
- Open .torrent, .nzb and magnet links and send them to the right client.
Streams, transcodes and hosts
- Now playing from Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, Tautulli and Tracearr, including transcode details.
- Tdarr jobs you can inspect, cancel or skip, plus Unpackerr extract queues.
- Glances, Unraid, Docker and Portainer: CPU, memory, disks, sensors, arrays and containers, with start, stop, restart and logs.
Privacy and data
- No account or sign-ups, and no tracking.
- Keys in the iOS Keychain, and in iCloud Keychain when you use iCloud backups.
- Export and import your settings, with an optional password if you want API keys included.
iPhone and Apple Watch
- Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, Live Activities and the Dynamic Island.
- Siri and Shortcuts: what’s downloading, pause or resume all, what’s on today, and open a service.
- An Apple Watch companion is already included in the iPhone app; finishing it for a paired watch is on the roadmap.
Widgets, Live Activities and the Dynamic Island
Keep an eye on downloads, what’s next and your hosts without opening the app — and jump back in with one tap.
Home Screen widgets
Download speed and active counts, Coming up, and a Host widget for CPU, memory, disk and container health. Pick a setup, or leave it on the one you’re using.
Lock Screen
Circular, rectangular and inline widgets for the next episode or movie, download activity and host status, sitting next to the rest of your Lock Screen.
Live Activities and the Island
A Live Activity can start with the queue, showing progress, speed, ETA and counts in compact, minimal and expanded layouts. Tdarr transcodes get their own activity. A setting lets you turn this off or bring one back if you swiped it away.
Today, Live Activities update while Harbarr is open or refreshing in the background. A push relay, so they can update when the app is closed, is on the roadmap.
One app, or one app per service?
| Harbarr | A separate app per service | |
|---|---|---|
| Where you look | One Home, one library, one activity list | A different app, login and layout for each server |
| Price | Launch special 7-day free trial, then A$4.99 once. Lifetime unlock, no subscription. | Often a purchase or subscription for every client you want on your phone |
| Privacy | No account or sign-ups, no tracking, no data kept by us. Keys stay in Keychain and personal iCloud. | Varies. Some clients require their own account or send data through a vendor cloud |
| Widgets and Live Activities | Across your downloads, calendar and hosts, with a setup picker | Usually one service, if the app offers widgets at all |
| Setups | Named setups for home, away or another rack, with iCloud backup of settings | You rebuild the same servers in each app |
| Attention | Failed imports, full disks, unhealthy indexers and stopped containers in one place | You only see a problem if you open the right app |
Try it for a week, then keep it for good

Questions
Do I need to create an account?
No. There is no Harbarr account or sign-up. You add your servers in the app. Keys stay on your device, and in iCloud Keychain if you use iCloud backups.
Is there a subscription?
No. After the 7-day free trial, the launch special is A$4.99 as a one-time purchase for a lifetime unlock.
How do I reach my servers when I’m not at home?
Harbarr talks directly to the addresses you enter. For remote access, use a VPN or Tailscale (or similar) and point the app at those addresses. There is no Harbarr relay. See the how-to.
Can I move settings to a new iPhone?
Yes. Use iCloud backup, or export and import settings — with an optional password if you want API keys included. Details are in the how-to.
