Sonarr is a personal video recorder (PVR) designed for Usenet and BitTorrent users who want to automate their TV show collections. It monitors multiple RSS feeds for new episodes, grabs them, sorts them into organized folders, and renames files according to your preferences. You can configure it to automatically upgrade existing episodes to higher quality (e.g., from DVD to Blu-ray) when a better release appears. Sonarr integrates seamlessly with download clients like SABnzbd, NZBGet, and transmission, and sends notifications to media servers such as Kodi, Plex, and Emby. It also handles failed downloads by automatically trying alternative releases. With manual search, you can override automatic decisions or see why a release wasn't downloaded. It fully supports specials, multi-episode releases, and has a clean, modern web UI for easy management. The project is actively maintained and has a large community.
