Quartermaster

A first-party Apple app that's all about your media.

Eight things Quartermaster does that other iOS controllers don't. All built on the same five services, all on-device, all in Pro.

Five services. Each one a first-class screen.

The four launch services. Connect one on Free; connect all four on Pro.

  • The Stuck Download Doctor

    When an import fails — wrong permissions, missing root folder, a half-completed unpack — most iOS controllers just show you the failure. Quartermaster's Doctor reads the state of your *arrs, names the specific cause, and offers the fix in one tap. The thing that costs you twenty minutes at your desk takes ten seconds on the bus.

    The Doctor: a stuck import labeled 'Import is blocked — needs a decision' with Import now / Remove actions, and a Failed SABnzbd download below.
  • Discovery deck: a fictional 'The Long Signal' poster, year 2021, 49m runtime, 100% taste match labelled 'Drama — your #1 genre'. Pass / star / request buttons below.

    Decide what to watch by swiping.

    A taste-ranked deck pulled from Jellyseerr discover and *arr lookup. Each card carries a percentage match against your on-device taste profile — so the deck is curated for you, not for advertisers. Swipe right to request; swipe left to never see it again.

  • Marathon nights, taste-ranked, from your own library.

    Pick a runtime budget (a Saturday night, a long flight, six hours). Pick a vibe. Quartermaster assembles a marathon from titles you already own, ranked by how well they match your taste. No streaming-service hunt, no broken sequels — just what's on your shelf and what fits the evening.

    Watch-a-thon: Cozy Sunday marathon, 24 titles approximately 42h 46m, with a list of fictional taste-ranked titles (Harvest at Mile…, Hollow Verdict, Low Orbit, Silent Province).
  • Forgotten: 'Owned a while ago — and worth another look' list of fictional titles (Sunken Harvest, The Restless Meridian, Verdict at Redgate, Northern Province, Velvet Verdict) each with a 100% taste match badge.

    Quiet rediscovery of what you already own.

    Every self-hoster has hundreds of titles they grabbed once and never watched. Forgotten surfaces them gently — sorted by how long they've sat untouched — so you make the most of what's already on your stack.

  • Your week and your year, in tabular numbers.

    Grabs, imports, runtime added, throughput by day. All computed locally from what your servers tell the app — nothing leaves the device. Stats is what a self-hoster would build for themselves, if they had time.

    Stats: 'Your 2026 in Review · A shareable card of your year' link at top, then All time figures — Movies 1240, Series 85, Episodes 7377, Storage 26.1 TB — and a tinted genre wheel with Drama at 18%.
  • Taste Profile: 'Top genre: Drama — 36% of your collection lives in the 2020s'. Below, a tinted genre wheel with Drama, Thriller, Comedy, Science Fiction, Horror, Crime leaderboard.

    Your taste, computed on the device that already knows it.

    An eight-segment genre wheel, leaderboards, breakdowns by decade and language. Built from your *arr library and your watch history, on your phone. It's the engine that powers Discovery and Watch-a-thon — but it's also a satisfying read on its own.

  • A quiet Friday digest of the week your stack had.

    Every Friday: grabs, completions, anything the Doctor fixed, new additions to your wheelhouse. No push notifications (we don't have a server to push from). Open the app whenever you want it.

    Weekly Report: 27 titles landed · 210 GB downloaded with a bar chart per day (busiest day Mon, 7). Below, Disk Runway 3.9 TB free with 'Full in ~4 months at this week's rate', and Library 26.1 TB across 1325 titles.
  • Year in Review: a wheel-branded summary card titled '2026 in Review' with a colored genre wheel, '345 titles added this year · ~593h of film', Top genre Drama, Top director Mara Ellingsen, Library 1325 titles, and a Share button.

    A shareable summary card, ours by craft.

    A wheel-branded year-end summary card you can save to Photos or send. Movies watched, episodes, runtime, top genre, the Doctor's saves. Original brand mark, no copyrighted artwork, never a screenshot of your library.
