# PikaTorrent ⚡

A modern, simple, connected, and electric BitTorrent app ⚡



  



## ⚠️ Project status

PikaTorrent is currently being rewritten with [Flutter](https://flutter.dev/). 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 🤞.

## Installation

### Desktop & mobile

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.

### CLI

A cli is available on npm.

```sh

npm i -g pikatorrent

pikatorrent node # Start a headless pikatorrent node

```

Scan the qrcode from the mobile app, or click on your secret link to control your node from [app.pikatorrent.com](https://app.pikatorrent.com).

You will be prompted to accept the connection.

## Usage

Start PikaTorrent, open magnet links, share direct links, add your favorite torrents search engine, link the mobile app with your desktop app...
