// What it is

A closer look.

Radarr is the movie counterpart to Sonarr — the *Arr stack's PVR for films. Monitors releases, grabs movies matching your quality profile, organizes by year + edition, triggers Plex/Jellyfin refresh on import.

Forked from Sonarr in 2017 specifically for movies (vs Sonarr's series-centric architecture). Now the de-facto self-hosted movie automation tool.
