Magnetar is a simple yet powerful file transfer remote for modern iOS.
This project is in active development and nearly ready to launch, I'm just no longer pushing changes to this repository because I can no longer afford to have it be free and open source. Magnetar will need to be a paid app, or have some feature(s) locked off as paid, simply due to personal circumstances; ideologically I'm a FOSS fanatic, but realistically: I have a mortgage. If you're a fan of BarMagnet and keen to be part of the TestFlight group for Magnetar, please join the discussions.
- View a list of file transfers on a single server.
- Dispatch commands against individual transfers, like start, stop, pause, remove, etc.
Magnetar will have a lot of quality of life improvements that were sorely lacking from BarMagnet.

BarMagnet was the first iOS app I ever created (and it started as a macOS app even before then). I was totally blown away by its popularity, but it was just a pet project to scratch an itch. Magnetar will be built with my near-decade of experience in the iOS industry and will have the good design to show for it.
