Why Huntarr?

Traditional *arr applications rely on RSS feeds and manual searches. Huntarr changes the game by:

  • Automatically identifying and filling gaps in your media library
  • Proactively searching for quality upgrades based on your profile settings
  • Intelligently managing API requests to avoid rate limits
  • Providing a unified interface to manage all your *arr apps

Whether you're a casual media collector or a serious data hoarder, Huntarr makes maintaining a complete, high-quality media library effortless.

💡 Pro Tips

  • Set up higher API rate limits for your local *arr instances than external ones
  • Use the scheduling feature to run intensive tasks during off-hours
  • Configure monitored-only option to focus on content you care about
