Text Guide

  1. You will first want to install the TestFlight app from the Apple App Store.

  2. First you will need to install Ferrite. This can be found on Testflight here. Click on the "Available on Apple TestFlight" button.

  3. Install the app to your iOS device.

  4. While you are waiting for it to install, go to the TorBox settings page, under the Account section, and retrieve your TorBox API key by clicking the "Copy API Key" button.

  5. Now with your TorBox API key, you can go to the settings of Ferrite, and under "Debrid Services" click on TorBox. Inside this screen paste your TorBox API key in the "API KEY" text box.

  6. Once you have pasted your TorBox API Key, simply click the "Return" button on your keyboard. Do not click the "Login" button.

  7. To verify your login worked, go to the "Library" tab, and go to "Cloud". It may take a moment to load, but it should show your torrents in your TorBox in the list. If it doesn't you have something wrongly configured, or you don't have any torrents yet. You can also come back here to check on your TorBox account!

  8. Now, you will have to configure plugins to search from. There are no plugins by default, you will have to find them. Below is a Public Domain Plugin, open it and copy the link. Go to the settings, scroll until you find the "Plugin Lists" button. This screen is used to manage the plugins you install. With your link, click the "+" icon in the top right, and paste your URL in the text box. Click "Save".

  9. Now that you have plugins to use to search, click the "Search" tab at the bottom and search for your torrents!

  10. Once you have found torrents you want to add you can click on the item and Copy or Share the magnet to the torrent. You can use this to add the torrent to add to TorBox on the dashboard. Ferrite does not support adding torrents directly.

  11. You can also "Bookmark" torrents by long tapping (holding down) on the torrent and clicking the "Bookmark" button. This will save the torrent in your "Library" under the "Bookmarks" tab.

  12. With Ferrite you can now easily search and add torrents to TorBox on your iOS device! If you have any issues, contact the developer on their Discord server here.
