  description

  qBittorrent Web UI Companion turns your browser into a seamless front-end for your qBittorrent client. Click a magnet link or download a .torrent file anywhere on the web, and it’s instantly routed to your qBittorrent instance — no manual copy-paste, no tab switching, no leftover .torrent files cluttering your Downloads folder.
  
  One-click magnet link interception:
  Clicks on magnet: links anywhere on the web are captured and sent directly to qBittorrent. The page never navigates away.
  
  Automatic .torrent file routing:
  Downloads ending in .torrent (detected by URL, MIME type, or filename) are intercepted before they hit your disk and forwarded to qBittorrent — including indirect links from tracker sites that resolve to .torrent files after redirects.
  
  File-level selection before downloading:
  The modal lets you preview the full file tree, expand folders, and pick exactly which files/folders to download — no need to load the torrent first and trim it later.
  
  Category picker:
  Choose a qBittorrent category from the modal so torrents land in the right folder with the right tags, automatically.
  
  Persistent, secure local connection:
  Connect once with your qBittorrent Web UI URL, username, and password. Credentials are stored exclusively in your browser’s local storage — never synced, never transmitted anywhere except your own qBittorrent instance.
  
  Smart session handling:
  Reuses qBittorrent’s session cookie so you stay authenticated across browser restarts and service-worker shutdowns, with no surprise re-login prompts.
  
  Works with any qBittorrent setup:
  Localhost, LAN IP, reverse-proxied HTTPS domain, custom port — if your Web UI is reachable, this extension can talk to it.
