The BitTorrent client
with a face.

Cover art appears the moment you add a torrent. A built-in player streams while you download — subtitles included. And Ctrl+K does everything else.

2,000+ downloads  —  Windows · macOS · Linux  —  native C++/Qt6, not Electron  —  MIT

Library, not list

Your downloads, with posters.

BATorrent reads release names — movies, shows, games, even messy anime fansub naming — and pulls the real cover art automatically. A torrent list that looks like a streaming library, because that's what it is.

Cover-art grid view
Watch while it downloads

Press play before it finishes.

The built-in player streams from the torrent as pieces arrive, remembers where you stopped, and now finds subtitles for you — load any .srt, or search online sources right from the player. Sync them with one keystroke.

List view with semantic state colors
Keyboard first

One shortcut. Ctrl K

Jump to any torrent by name. Pause everything. Toggle the speed limit. Open any page or window. The command palette makes the whole app one fuzzy search away — no mouse required.

Command palette
Yours to theme

Six themes. Or build your own.

Dark, Light, Midnight, Sakura, Dark Star — or a fully custom theme with your own colors and background image. Optional anime accent art, and an app icon you pick independently of it all.

Sakura theme

Nothing to sell you.

No telemetry, no analytics, no phoning home. The only outbound request is the GitHub release check — and it's optional. Built by one developer, in the open, under MIT.

No ads No telemetry No accounts No bundleware MIT license

And everything a torrent client must have.
