Using Magnetar Sync
Keep Magnetar in step across extension, mobile and My Magnetar.
Pair the Magnetar extension with Magnetar Mobile, My Magnetar or both. Use either pairing on its own, or connect all three to keep saved items, sent history and organised folders in step.
Provider files and folders are never moved, renamed or changed. Provider API keys and client passwords stay local.
Use the extension on its own, pair one companion, or pair both.
The extension is the common connection point. Connect Magnetar Mobile for the Android workflow, connect My Magnetar for your self-hosted browser workspace, or use both companions together.
Sync is for Magnetar metadata.
Magnetar Sync keeps Magnetar metadata like saved items, sent history, review items and organised folder metadata in step across the companions paired with the extension. It does not host, store or download provider files.
You do not need all three products. Use extension and mobile, extension and My Magnetar, or pair both companions so extension, mobile and My Magnetar stay synchronised together.

Organised folders
Organised folders help you group items inside Magnetar. They do not change your provider library. Provider files and folders stay exactly where they are.
They can contain items from different supported providers. They do not create folders inside TorBox, Real-Debrid, AllDebrid or Premiumize, and they do not rename, move or delete provider files.
Folder colours and names sync through Magnetar Sync. To browse or open provider items inside a folder, the provider must be configured on that device, browser or app.
Desktop finds can land in the mobile Review queue.
Send to mobile sends an item from the extension to Magnetar Mobile. Batch Send to mobile can send multiple detected items.
Items arrive in the app Review queue, where you can check them before saving, sending or browsing. This requires Magnetar Sync pairing.
Send to mobile is for moving Magnetar finds from desktop to phone without losing context.
TorBox Airlock
Airlock is controlled by TorBox. Magnetar simply gives you a quicker way to use it for supported TorBox items.
Airlock appears in TorBox provider lists and supported organised folder items. TorBox is the authority for Airlock status, so changes are visible on another device after refreshing TorBox there.
This does not use Magnetar Sync as the authority. Magnetar uses your local TorBox API key and does not use TorBox website cookies or session scraping.
What does green mean?
Soft green marks Magnetar Sync, mobile and organised-folder actions. Provider send actions stay separate.
Magnetar data syncs, provider credentials do not.
Synced Magnetar data is encrypted before it reaches the server. The sync server stores encrypted Magnetar metadata only.

Magnetar Sync FAQ
Do I need Magnetar Mobile to use the extension?
No. The extension works on its own and can sync with Magnetar Mobile, My Magnetar or both. Magnetar Mobile is only required for mobile Review and the Android app workflow.
Do I need all three products to use Sync?
No. The Magnetar extension is the common connection point. Pair it with Magnetar Mobile, pair it with My Magnetar, or pair both companions so all three stay in step.
Are Organised folders provider folders?
No. They are Magnetar folders. They do not change folders or files inside your provider.
Why can't I open a folder item on this device?
The provider for that item may not be set up on this device. Provider keys stay local, so each device needs its own provider setup.
Does Magnetar Sync upload my provider API keys?
No. Provider API keys and client passwords stay local.
Is TorBox Airlock synced by Magnetar?
No. Airlock is TorBox state. Magnetar reads and updates it through TorBox when TorBox is configured locally.
What does Send to mobile do?
It sends items from the extension to Magnetar Mobile's Review queue.
Need the app steps?
Open Magnetar Mobile help for setup, Settings > Sync, Review, provider setup and troubleshooting.
Use the extension with either companion, or both.
Use Magnetar in your browser for desktop detection, sending, saved items and provider browsing. Add Magnetar Mobile for Android Review and mobile workflows. Add My Magnetar for a self-hosted browser workspace. Pair both when you want all three products to stay in step.
