## What it is
A Python CLI tool and Docker image that automates tedious qBittorrent management tasks such as tagging, categorizing, share limits, and cleanup. It can run on a schedule to remove unregistered torrents, orphaned files, and manage seeding rules.

## Use cases
- automatically tag torrents based on tracker urls in qbittorrent
- remove unregistered torrents from qbittorrent
- delete orphaned files not referenced by qbittorrent
- apply share limits and stop seeding after ratio or seed time
- manage qbittorrent categories based on save paths
- move deleted torrent data to a recycle bin folder
- run qbittorrent maintenance on a schedule

## When to choose
- you run qBittorrent on a seedbox or home server and want hands-off maintenance
- you cross-seed torrents and need careful removal of unregistered entries without deleting shared data
- you want scheduled automation of tagging, categories, and share limits

## When to avoid
- you use a torrent client other than qBittorrent
- you need a GUI for torrent management rather than config-file-driven automation
- you only need a one-off torrent search or download tool
