Captain qBit is a modern Android app for managing a qBittorrent instance remotely over its Web API. It's a client for your self-hosted qBittorrent server — not a standalone downloader.
Features:
* Live torrent list with global and per-torrent speeds, progress, and ETA
* Sort, search, and filter by status, category, tracker, or tags from a drawer sidebar
* Category and tags shown as chips, with a colour you can pick per category
* Manage multiple servers and switch between them
* Add torrents via magnet links or .torrent files, with category, save path, start-paused, and Automatic Torrent Management options
* Choose which files to download when adding, and set per-file priorities from the Files tab
* Create categories on the fly, manage tags, recheck, reannounce, rename, and change save paths
* Detailed view with Info, Files, Trackers, and Peers tabs, including a browsable file tree
* Light, Dark, or System theme, with optional Material You dynamic colours
* Optional status notification, plus opt-in alerts when a download or force-recheck finishes,
with configurable refresh intervals to trade freshness for battery life
* Browse RSS feeds and articles, with auto-download rules and notifications for new matches
* Encrypted backup and restore of your servers and settings
* Clear failure reasons when a torrent errors, instead of a bare "error"
* Optional HTTP Basic Auth for servers behind a reverse proxy, plus self-signed certificate support
* Works with qBittorrent 4.x and 5.x
Captain qBit began as a fork of qBittorrent Manager by Yash Garg and builds on that foundation. It is free and open source under the GPL-3.0 license.

- New: drag-and-drop reordering for the server list
- Fixed: a background battery drain from polling after opening the RSS screen
- Fixed: the torrent details screen could spin forever after tapping a notification
- Torrent and RSS article search now match words in any order, not just exact substrings
