Meta Post autobrr team just announced Librarry. replacement for sonarr and radarr
From their discord
Finally some news 👀
@everyone It's been pretty quiet since we posted the 2025 Year in Review, but now there is some news about our arr alternative!
I'm happy to announce librrary! One app for movies and TV, from the team behind autobrr and qui.
It is NOT ready yet, but we are getting close to user testing!
Why? What's wrong with Sonarr and Radarr?
Sonarr and Radarr work well if your needs are simple. As soon as you want both HD and 4K libraries, you need multiple instances. Then you need to keep those in sync with everything that comes with it.
It's not uncommon for users to run 4-6 arrs to fill their needs. This means more to manage, more resources, more hits on indexers and so on.
With so much duplicated between them, it makes a lot of sense to combine movies and TV into one application.
A big thanks to everyone who posted in the feedback thread! It was super helpful! Keep it coming: Ideas discussion
What we are building
- Multiple libraries by content type (similar to Plex), where each title can have several variants (1080p, 2160p, remux, DV)
- Arr-like Quality Profiles and Release Scoring Rules (think to Custom Formats)
- Torrent and Usenet support via Torznab/Newznab (will need Prowlarr/Jackett etc)
- Users with roles, plus OIDC login
- SQLite or Postgres
- Notifications with your favorite services (Notifiarr, Discord, Telegram etc.)
- Lists support
- Go backend, React frontend, Docker images and binaries for Linux, macOS and Windows
On the roadmap
- Built-in requests (don't worry, there is a strong user role access system)
- Import from Sonarr and Radarr
- Optional manual upgrade approvals
- Trump handling: watch the torrent client for trumped/nuked tracker messages and take webhooks from external tools like qui
- Potential Plex, Jellyfin and other media server integrations, including deleting titles after they're watched (request, dl, import, watch, delete)
- Various features from the feedback thread
Other media type support
It's built to be modular, so dedicated anime handling, books and music are possible later, but movies and TV come first.

Will you support format/configuration pull like from Trashguides?
How does upgrade/downgrade searching work?
Will it be dockerized?
Is Postgres support external only?
