The Android bottom bar, the More list, the Right now rows on Home, and what every screen does on Android.

The bottom bar

The bottom bar always has the same five entries:

Entry What it is
Home Right now and every screen you have, see below.
Discover Jellyseerr: trending titles, details and requests.
Watch Jellyfin: libraries, Continue Watching, Next Up and the video player.
Downloads qBittorrent, SABnzbd and Soulseek transfers.
More Every other screen your services provide, and Settings.

A screen appears in More (and on Home) once its service is set up, in a fixed order. The bar remembers where you were when you come back to the app.

Home

Home has two parts.

Right now is a set of rows from the services you have: server, NAS storage, monitors, downloads, disks, backups and tasks. Each row loads on its own, so a service that does not answer shows its error in its place while the rest fill in. The header says how long ago the numbers were fetched. Home refreshes every 30 seconds while it is on screen; pull down to refresh at once. What Home last saw is also what the widgets show.

Everything lists every screen you have, with a line saying what it is for: “Uptime Kuma monitors”, “Firefly transactions, Pico templates and subscriptions”. Tap one to open it.

Services describes each service and the env keys it needs. Those keys are the same on Android.

A link, a launcher shortcut or a notification that points to Home, Discover, Watch or Downloads switches the bottom bar to it. Any other screen opens in a sheet over what you were doing, with Done to close it, so your place in More stays where it was.
