Emby icon Emby shouldn't be a browser tab.

Connect directly to the services you run: Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Plex, Tautulli, download clients, Unraid and SSH, from one app on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

How it fits

A native client for the stack you already run

Direct service connections

Add the service URLs and API keys you already use. Helmarr connects from your device to your own services, so there is no hosted control plane in the middle.

Media and server ops

Check queues, calendars, library items, Plex activity, Unraid status and related service data without bouncing between separate web UIs.

Built for Apple platforms

The interface is written for iOS, iPadOS and macOS, with layouts that keep common checks usable on a phone and still make sense on a larger screen.

Reverse proxy friendly

Use the HTTPS endpoints you already expose through Cloudflare Tunnel, Pangolin, Traefik, Caddy, Nginx Proxy Manager, SWAG or another reverse proxy.

Local and remote hosts

Configure separate local and remote hosts for a service. Helmarr can use the reachable path and fall back automatically when your network changes.

Emby + Helmarr

An Emby management app for iPhone, iPad and Mac

Helmarr is for the person who runs the Emby server, not just watches from it. Connect your server and check on it natively from your iPhone, iPad or Mac — and manage everything that feeds it in the same app: Sonarr and Radarr for the library, download clients for the pipeline, and server tools like Unraid and SSH for the machine underneath.

Your Emby server, native

Check on your Emby server from a native app instead of a browser tab.

The stack behind the library

Sonarr, Radarr, Bazarr and your download clients live in the same app, so the pipeline that fills Emby is one tap away.

Server tools included

Unraid monitoring and SSH with live vitals cover the machine your Emby server runs on.

Local, remote or proxied

Connect over your LAN or remotely through a reverse proxy or tunnel, with custom headers and automatic local/remote fallback.

FAQ

Emby on iPhone, iPad and Mac — common questions

Is Helmarr an Emby client for watching media?

No — Helmarr is a management companion for server owners, not a playback app. You keep your Emby apps for watching; Helmarr covers running the server and the stack around it.

Is there an iOS app for managing an Emby-based media stack?

Yes. Helmarr connects to Emby alongside Sonarr, Radarr, download clients, Unraid, SSH and more, so the whole self-hosted stack is managed from one native app.

Does Helmarr work with Emby behind a reverse proxy?

Yes. HTTPS endpoints behind Cloudflare Tunnel, Traefik, Caddy, Nginx Proxy Manager and similar are supported, with custom headers and separate local and remote URLs.
