## What it is
PikaTorrent is a cross-platform BitTorrent client built with Flutter that lets users stream and download torrents on desktop and mobile devices. It wraps the Transmission engine in a lightweight, modern UI with media streaming support similar to WebTorrent Desktop.

## Use cases
- stream video from torrents while downloading
- download torrents on android and ios
- cross-platform torrent client for desktop and mobile
- simple beginner-friendly torrent app
- share torrent links between my devices
- lightweight alternative to qBittorrent

## When to choose
- you want one torrent client across Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS
- you want to stream media from torrents instead of waiting for full downloads
- you prefer a modern, simple UI over power-user torrent clients

## When to avoid
- you need advanced torrent features like selective file priorities, scripting, or a web UI
- you need a fully stable release - it is currently beta
- you need iOS support as a primary platform - it is experimental
