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.

Plex + Helmarr

A Plex management app for iPhone, iPad and Mac

The official Plex app is for watching. Helmarr is for the person who runs the server. Its Plex sub-app gives you a native dashboard with server information and live CPU and memory charts, so you can check on the box behind your library from anywhere. Pair it with Helmarr’s Tautulli integration for stream history and session control, and with Unraid or SSH for the machine underneath.

Server dashboard

Server information and status in a native view — see how your Plex Media Server is doing without opening a browser.

CPU and memory charts

Live resource usage charts show what your server is working on, useful when transcodes pile up.

Pairs with Tautulli

Add Tautulli in the same app for live sessions, playback history and the ability to terminate streams.

Manage the whole stack

Sonarr, Radarr, download clients and your server tools live alongside Plex, so the entire pipeline behind your library is in one app.

FAQ

Plex on iPhone, iPad and Mac — common questions

Is Helmarr a Plex client for watching media?

No — Helmarr is a management companion, not a playback app. You keep the official Plex app for watching; Helmarr is for monitoring and running the server and the stack behind it.

Can I monitor my Plex server from my iPhone?

Yes. Helmarr’s Plex sub-app shows server information with live CPU and memory charts, and the Tautulli integration adds current streams, history and session control.

Does Helmarr work when I am away from home?

Yes. Configure separate local and remote URLs with automatic fallback, and connect through reverse proxies or tunnels such as Cloudflare Tunnel with custom auth headers.
