SELF-HOSTED · ONE NATIVE BINARY · EST. APRIL 2026
Self-hosted media management for movies, TV, and anime.
Scryer monitors your library, upgrades quality automatically, organizes every file, and fetches subtitles — doing the work of a whole *arr stack in a single efficient process.
Scryer was written from scratch and has no affiliation to the Servarr tools

Movies
Browse every movie, filter the library, and discover what to watch next.
ONE COMPLETE WORKFLOW
From discovery to a finished import
Every stage lives in Scryer, from finding something new to placing the completed file where your media server expects it.
Discover+
Search a shared metadata catalog for movies, series, and anime, then add the titles you want to follow.
Set the policy+
Choose a library root, quality profile, and monitoring state so every title starts with the right rules.
Find the best release+
Search your indexers, score each release against quality and rules, and select the right match automatically.
Download+
Route the chosen release to your configured download client and keep the job connected to its tracked title.
Import & enjoy+
Import and organize completed files for your media server, with subtitles handled in the same workflow.
Set it up once, then let Scryer carry the process from search to library.

REPLACE THE STACK
One app where you used to run a stack
Most setups string together a separate tool for every job — and often two of some. Scryer folds the whole pipeline into a single efficient process.

ONE PROCESS, EVERYTHING INCLUDED
The whole stack, folded into Scryer
Secure
Multi-user access with RBAC, MFA, and passkeys, with zero high or critical vulnerabilities found across research-grade vulnerability intelligence scans.
Library management
Renames and organizes files automatically, so everything stays neat and ready for Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby.
Subtitles built in
Matching subtitles are fetched and timing-corrected inside Scryer — not bolted on with a second service.
Anime, done right
Anime is a first-class citizen, including filler episodes and canon movies that other tools fumble.
Multi-user support
Built for shared libraries and request lifecycles — the workflows that show up when a household depends on one collection.
Rules & scripts
Shape behavior with a built-in rules engine, then extend post-processing with scripts for last-mile automation.
Sane defaults
A scoring-persona system gives you strong release scoring out of the box — no hand-tuning every rule up front.
Plugin system
Choose from over 50 plugins to connect Scryer with the indexers, download clients, subtitle providers, and notification services you need.
Smart indexer proxies
Route protected indexer requests through a challenge-solving proxy, keeping searches reliable when browser checks get in the way.
RAR torrents, handled in process
Extract RAR-based torrents inside Scryer, without external unpackers or post-processing scripts.
Context-aware parsing
Uses rich metadata to interpret complete release names over 25% more accurately than context-free Sonarr/Radarr parsing.
Multiple libraries, one instance
Keep 1080p, 4K, anime, kids, and other libraries separate without running duplicate Sonarr or Radarr instances.
LIGHTER BY DESIGN
One Scryer vs. the usual stack
One native process replaces the services commonly needed for separate standard and 4K libraries.

SMG · SCRYER METADATA GATEWAY
How does Scryer get such good metadata?
SMG is the maintained metadata gateway behind Scryer. It gives your local instance the rich, clean catalog data it needs for discovery, search, artwork, and accurate title matching.
Metadata only
SMG supplies title data, artwork, and discovery metadata to your local Scryer client — not your media files.
A clean metadata layer
It turns the messy world of upstream metadata into one consistent, rich catalog for Scryer to use.
Designed to stay available
SMG maintains 99.9+% uptime; Scryer continues to work uninterrupted during outages, only new media cannot be added.
Anonymous by design
Requests contain only the library details needed to return metadata. There’s no account to create and no personal information shared.
Powerful search and AI powered discovery
SMG leverages modern search technology for fast and accurate search and uses AI to power Scryer's discovery layer.
Media managers need shared metadata. We put that fact front and center, so you know exactly what connects to the internet and why before you install.
