qBittorrent is probably the most commonly used client. Transmission is another popular option, especially among macOS users, since it has a familiar design and feels more native.
rTorrent is great if you want a CLI app, and ruTorrent offers a web frontend. Another option that you can run on a server is Deluge.
You can control qBittorrent from Android using qBitController or from iOS using qBitControl (you can get it from AltStore after adding the Michael-128 repo). Transdroid supports other clients as well, and it's my personal favorite. If you want to torrent on the Android device itself, check out LibreTorrent. For iOS, use iTorrent (also available on AltStore).
If you already plan on self-hosting, or have root access on your seed box (or some other way of installing applications/deploying Docker containers), I also recommend setting up bitmagnet. It's basically your own torrent indexer and search engine. It can also integrate with your *arr applications.
Do you use altstore? Have you tried livecontainer to avoid the 3 app limit?
I don't think that applies when using the EU version and Apple's new sideloading framework. But I don't know, since I only have 1 app sideloaded right now.
Transmission is my favorite design-wise on macOS but I wish it had i2p support.
