What is it?

It’s a Media Discovery and Download Hub which acts as add-on or extension for the Arr stack and more, designed to manage and obtain media both manually and automatically. Think of it as a media manager, recommendation and helper app.

What's the Problem?

I've made a start, but for long-term stability and maintainability, the project needs more contributors. It's highly modular, with separate services, making it easy for new developers to jump in and focus on specific areas.

Where to Start?

I’ve set up the organization on GitHub at and I’m happy to add people to the the poject . This way, the project won’t be dependent on any one individual. With enough developers, it will help keep the project alive and ensure long-term stability.

Why?

I’ve already worked on these services individually (check out my other projects here) and I would prefer to bring them all into a unified project for better management and collaboration. This way, further development can be streamlined in one place, rather than scattered across multiple repos.
