Radarr is a movie collection manager designed for people who use Usenet or BitTorrent to obtain and organise their media. It connects movie libraries, indexers and download clients to automate the process of finding and managing releases.
Users can add films to a monitored collection, select the quality they want and configure which sources should be searched. Radarr can then identify suitable releases and arrange for them to be downloaded through an external client.
The application also manages existing collections. It can import completed downloads, apply consistent filenames and keep track of whether a film meets its configured quality requirements. This makes Radarr useful for maintaining a large library without handling each file individually.
This is free and open source software.
