Categories:
Seerr is a free and open-source media discovery and request management application for Jellyfin, Plex, and Emby media servers, unifying Overseerr and Jellyseerr.
🚀 Overview
Seerr is the unified evolution of the popular Overseerr (for Plex/Emby) and Jellyseerr (for Jellyfin) projects, combining their best features into a single, actively maintained application that supports all major media servers.
This project solves the challenge of managing media requests in shared home media libraries. Users can easily discover new movies and TV shows through recommendations, request specific content, and have it automatically handled by integrated tools like Radarr and Sonarr. It streamlines the process for library owners to approve/decline requests, track progress, and notify users.
It's built for self-hosters, home lab enthusiasts, families, and communities who run media servers and want a user-friendly interface for content discovery and requests without manual intervention.
The merger was driven by the community to create a more powerful, feature-rich tool that's easier to maintain and extend, supporting modern needs like 4K management and multi-language localization.
