Coming from LunaSea.
LunaSea is no longer developed: it published a final release and was archived. Cupola does the same job for Radarr, Sonarr and the download clients, goes further, and keeps improving.

Where Cupola stands out
- Actively developed, on iPhone, iPad, Android and Mac.
- Goes further: Seerr, Prowlarr, Bazarr, Jellyfin, Plex and the server underneath.
- Built around what needs you: Home shows what arrived and what is stuck, and every fault comes with its fix.
- Each service still has its own screens when you want the details.

Moving to Cupola

- There is no Tautulli or Wake-on-LAN. Cupola reads sessions from Jellyfin and Plex directly.
Questions
Is Cupola an alternative to LunaSea?
Yes. It covers what LunaSea did and more, and it is still being developed: LunaSea published its final release and was archived. Your connections need setting up again. See coming from LunaSea.
Does Cupola need a server or an account?
No. There is no Cupola account and no Cupola server. The app talks straight to your own services, and their keys and passwords stay on your device, in the Keychain or the Android Keystore.
Is Cupola free?
Yes. It is open source under the Apache License 2.0, with nothing to buy or unlock. If it helps you, a donation on Ko-fi keeps it moving.
How do I manage my home server from my phone when I am away?
With the route you already have: a VPN such as WireGuard or Tailscale, or a reverse proxy. Give a connection a second address for when you are out, and Cupola uses whichever one answers.
