A short setup walks you through folders, a downloader and a Source. No API keys to hunt down. No second container. Every setting is explained in the manual further down. 💡 Why I built it A normal media server runs six apps: Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Bazarr, Prowlarr and Seerr. That's six logins, six ports, six update cycles and six API keys to copy between them. When a show doesn't land, you check six places to find out why. I wanted one app. One login, one port, one place to look. So I built it.

Idle RAM measured with 10,000 titles and 55,000 movies and episodes. 🎬 Ask for a title, and it shows up in your library Someone asks for a title. HolyArrs searches your Sources, picks the best release with your Pick rules, sends it to your downloader and files it in your library. Your media server hears about it when it lands. 🍿 Explore Browse like a streaming app. Hover a title and the trailer plays. 🙋 Requests A whole show or one season. You approve, or let trusted people skip the queue. 🎯 Pick rules You decide which release wins: size, quality, language. 💬 Subtitles In the languages you pick, kept with the file. Finding them online comes after 1.0. 📅 Calendar What's airing next for everything you follow. 🚚 Move your setup From Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Prowlarr, Bazarr, Seerr, Overseerr, qBittorrent and SABnzbd. Try it first, undo it later. 🔌 Old-app API Prowlarr can keep pushing Sources to HolyArrs once you turn it on. 🗝️ No API keys needed Titles, artwork and charts come from the HolyArrs metadata server. 🔒 Encrypted keys Stored passwords and keys are locked with a master key that lives in your config folder. 🪶 Tiny An image of about 15 MB with nothing but HolyArrs inside.

Keys and passwords stay behind; you type them in again or import them from a file. Custom formats, tags and history don't come over. Media files never move. Step by step: Move from other apps . 🧭 What it doesn't do yet Downloading by itself. HolyArrs connects to qBittorrent, SABnzbd and the others. It doesn't replace them. AI or MCP features. Not in 1.0. Phone and TV apps. Not built. The web app works on a phone. Music in Explore is still being built. What's next is on the roadmap . You vote, I build. Post ideas on r/HolyArrs . ❓ Questions people ask first Do I keep qBittorrent or SABnzbd? Yes, for now. HolyArrs connects to the downloader you already run. A built-in downloader is planned for a later release. Can Sonarr and Radarr keep running while I try it? Yes. HolyArrs reads them once and never changes them. Is it free? Yes. It's free and open source. 📖 The manual Everything below is reference. The full guides live at docs.HolyArrs.com .
