Looking for some new ways to use my phone beyond reading and comsuming media.

What are some advanced apps/uses that you guys are using?

    This is pretty niche, but damn do I use my phone a lot to manage my Homelab server. In fact, I don’t actually currently have access to a computer, so I can ONLY manage my server via my phone.

    I use JuiceSSH to SSH into my server.

    I use OpenVPN Connect to connect to my server via VPN.

    There’s also plenty of apps that I use to connect to the *arr suite of software that I have running for media.

        I’m using it too! I currently have LunaSea for direct management of radarr, sonarr, and even tautulli!

        I actually prefer it because IMO it has a nicer UI. I do have NZB360 as a backup in case for whatever reason LunaSea fails, but also NZB360 supports adding qBittorrent, so I did!

        But I actually found that the app qBittorrent Remote works well, so I use it in conjunction with LunaSea.

        So good.

        This si currently what I have on my phone, and then I use Google Chrome/Firefox to manage everything else that doesn’t have an app/PWA.

            Highly recommend! But be careful, it doesn’t support torrents/torrent management. IIRC, the dev wanted the app on both iOS and LunaSea, so he chose to commit torrents from the android version. Fair trade IMO.

              Yeah that’s fair. I haven’t used torrents in years. Usenet!

              I got it all setup and think atm I prefer the UI from NZB360 but lunasea is opensource and does seem to display the data better. Will keep both setup for now (Y)

              I dropped the lunasea dev a few ££ either way from my google play balance!
