Sift resolves every torrent against TMDB before the download starts. It identifies titles, detects seasons you already have, builds the correct folder structure, and names files to spec. Downloads arrive organized.

The client is built on libtorrent. State updates are pushed over WebSocket with msgpack serialization. The interface is entirely web-based and self-hosted.

Compatibility is maintained through a qBittorrent API shim. Sonarr, Radarr, and Prowlarr connect to Habeas without configuration changes.
