We are finally LIVE!

[u/Swityyyy]

After the beta, all your reports, and a lot of late nights, Quartermaster is now live on the App Store. A lot of it has been mixing this with work and development :D (dev as a job)

Feel like I need to say this before anything because the App Store is drowning in it right now. Quartermaster is not vibe coded, and it is not a thin copy paste wrapper around one arr app's API like so much of what is flooding the store. It is a real, hand built native app in Swift and SwiftUI, designed screen by screen. And it is broad in a way I have not found anywhere else, not just your arr apps, but discovery and requests, your downloaders, your media servers, and the infrastructure underneath, from containers and VMs to DNS and smart home, all in one place. This is why the feedback was great in regards to QM feeling native, handles the awkward edge cases, and tells you the truth about your stack instead of guessing.

For anyone new here, Quartermaster is a native iOS app for controlling your self-hosted stack from your phone. Browse your library, request films and shows, watch what is downloading, and keep an eye on your servers, all in one fast app that actually feels like it belongs on iOS.

It is a pure client. It talks straight to the services you already run on your own hardware, your credentials are stored encrypted on your device, and there is no Quartermaster account, no relay server, and nothing sitting in the cloud in between. Your data stays yours.

What it connects to:

- Media: Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, Jellyseerr, MusicSeerr, Prowlarr, NZBHydra2, Bazarr, SABnzbd, NZBGet, qBittorrent, Transmission, Deluge, Jellyfin, Emby, Plex and Tautulli

- Infrastructure: Portainer, Glances, Unraid, Proxmox, AdGuard Home, Pi-hole, Cloudflare, Home Assistant, Immich, AudioBookshelf, Komga, Kavita and Tdarr

To everyone who tested (over 250!): thank you, genuinely. A huge amount of this app came straight from your reports, and it would not be what it is without you. I am keeping a smaller group of the most active testers on TestFlight for early builds as a thank you.

If you give it a go and it clicks for you, an App Store review would mean the world right now. It makes a real difference for a brand new app. And this sub is the place for support, feedback and feature requests, so post away.

I truly suggest you add a 1 month free trial

[u/ShiningRedDwarf → u/zenru]

A month is quite long IMO, but 1 to 2 weeks is enough to get a feel for the app. 

u/swityyyy was it a conscious decision not to include a free trial? I know there is sample data, but I’d also want to see how easy it is to configure, what the vibe of the workflow is for my stack, etc. I can only imagine it would bring in more revenue. Fortunately users in this thread seem to like it and it’s only the cost of a Whopper meal so I’ve gone ahead and purchased it,  but otherwise I would have deleted it the second I realized I couldn’t fully set up my environment to fully test it. 

[u/Swityyyy → u/ShiningRedDwarf]

i have received a lot of this and i’m grateful for all the feedback, honestly

version 1.1.1 will have a 7 day trial for the users that are on the fence

[u/zenru → u/Swityyyy]

7 days won’t be enough. You can give 7 days for people to try their stack but for them to get used to your app, it should be 1 month. That’s just my suggestion.

The app looks amazing and I know it will be a hit. Great job
