A modern, simple, connected, and electric BitTorrent app ⚡
PikaTorrent is currently being rewritten with Flutter. The codebase will greatly change and old implementation will be retired.
Flutter targets mobile & desktop. It allows me to focus on developing the app instead of continuously fight with the stack for each target (React Native/Electron/Node.js/Tamagui, and WebRTC implementations).
Remote control and CLI will no longer be available from next releases. Anyway, the UX was not great, it was not always working correctly, and it's a niche feature. It might come back later though, maybe.
PikaTorrent will now focus on providing a greater and consistent torrent experience on Mobile & Desktop, even for Apple devices 🤞.
The recommended way to install PikaTorrent is from the app stores. You will receive automatic updates & the app will be associated with magnet: and pikatorrent: links, and .torrent files on desktop.
