Hello all,

I’ve been working on Taurent, a small open-source qBittorrent Web UI client built with Tauri, React, and Rust.

I originally built it because I wanted something that felt more native than keeping qBittorrent Web UI open in a browser tab. The app connects to an existing qBittorrent Web UI instance and lets you manage torrents, server profiles, settings, notifications, tray support, torrent file associations, and local path mapping.

I’ve been using it myself for the last 2–3 months, mostly on macOS. It is still very much beta. Android, Linux, and Windows builds exist, but they have only had basic smoke testing for now. Search and RSS are also included, but they have not been thoroughly tested yet.

I’ve also been working on an iOS version and I’m hoping to get a TestFlight build available soon.

The Tauri side has been pretty interesting so far, especially around desktop integrations, permissions, secure storage, release builds, and trying to keep the desktop and mobile app shells sharing as much code as possible.

There is no telemetry; it only connects to the server you configure.

I’d be happy to hear any feedback from people building with Tauri, especially around structure, packaging, permissions, or anything that looks off in the repo.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on Taurent, an open-source qBittorrent remote client made with Tauri, React, and Rust.

I like using a native app so I used Codex and Opencode to assist be to build this on a tech stack i'm somewhat familiar with.

If you already run qBittorrent with the Web UI enabled, Taurent provides a more native desktop and mobile app for managing it.

Here’s what it can do right now:

• Connect to a remote qBittorrent Web UI server
• Add, pause, resume, delete, rename, recheck, and reannounce torrents
• Browse live transfer state with filters for status, category, tags, and trackers
• Inspect torrent details, files, peers, trackers, and general properties
• Manage categories, tags, transfer limits, queueing, privacy, and other qBittorrent settings
• Use qBittorrent search and RSS features when the server supports them
• Save multiple server profiles
• Store credentials using platform secure storage when available
• Desktop integrations like tray menu, notifications, torrent file association, and utility windows
• On desktop, map a remote or network download path to a local or mounted location, so you can open torrent files and folders directly from the app
• Mobile-oriented UI for Tauri mobile builds

Desktop is the main focus for now, with builds for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Android APKs are available as unsigned beta artifacts, and iOS exists in the workspace but isn’t available yet (I'm creating my developer account to publish it soon 🤞).

I would really appreciate feedback from people who frequently use the Web UI. I've been using it for the last 3 months on macOS and iOS or so and I think it's ready for everyone to use.
