Scryer
Self-hosted app for movies, TV series, and anime
Automatically monitors your library, manages quality upgrades, organizes files, and fetches subtitles — replacing Sonarr and Radarr with a single lightweight process.
One Application
One application for movies, shows, and anime. Keep your entire library together in one place instead of juggling separate tools for different kinds of media.
Library management
A cleaner library without the busywork. It renames and organizes files for you, so everything stays neat and ready for Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby.
Subtitles
Subtitles are built in, not bolted on. Matching subtitles are handled right inside Scryer, including timing fixes when they need a little help.
Anime Wise
Anime support that actually feels complete. Scryer treats anime as a first-class part of your library, including filler episodes and canon based movies.
Multi-user support
Prepared for shared libraries and media request lifecycles. Scryer is built to handle the workflows that show up when multiple people depend on the same collection.
Custom rules and scripts
Shape behavior with a built-in rules engine, then extend post-processing with scripts for the last-mile automation your library needs.
Simple defaults
Simplify the complexity of release parsing and custom formats with an easy-to-use scoring persona system that gives you strong defaults without hand-tuning every rule up front.
Plugin system
Extend with plugins for additional indexers, download clients, subtitle providers, and notification services.
Efficient
Runs lean, even on modest hardware. Keep your media stack fast and responsive without dedicating a big chunk of RAM to it.
