Colors no longer come from the terminal's palette, whose color 0 many color themes set to a grey that is not their background. A theme sets tview's default styles and the color names used in texts, all chosen from entries 16-255 of the 256-color table so terminals without 24-bit color show them exactly. "auto" picks light or dark from the background color the terminal reports. Settable in the Config view, applied at the next start (widgets copy their colors when created). Replaces using the terminal's own background and text colors. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_019reK4DUGYqDUjniWYJvwUW

# arr-tui
|
||
|
||
A terminal UI to search for movies and series with [Radarr](https://radarr.video) and
|
||
[Sonarr](https://sonarr.tv), pick releases by hand, and follow the downloads in
|
||
[SABnzbd](https://sabnzbd.org).
|
||
|
||
- **Movies / Series**: search as you type, add titles with a quality profile and root folder,
|
||
optionally start the automatic search.
|
||
- **Interactive search**: list the releases Radarr/Sonarr find (approved or rejected, with reasons),
|
||
sort and filter them (by approval, quality, x265 / x264 / AV1, HDR, Dolby Vision, audio format, language), and grab one. Series: pick a season or a single episode first.
|
||
- **Posters**: the detail panes show the poster at the top right; title, facts, path and plot
|
||
flow along its left side and continue at full width below it. In kitty and Ghostty it is a real
|
||
image at the terminal's full resolution (Kitty graphics protocol with Unicode placeholders, so
|
||
popups and dialogs cover it like text). Everywhere else it is drawn with colored block characters,
|
||
which works over SSH and in any terminal with colors. Library items use the copy stored in
|
||
Radarr/Sonarr; search results are downloaded from the metadata provider's image host (TMDb,
|
||
TheTVDB). Turn it off with `"ui": {"covers": false}`. `"ui": {"cover_style": ...}` picks the
|
||
drawing: `auto` (default: real images where the terminal is known to support them, otherwise
|
||
plain cells in macOS Terminal, sextants on terminals known to have the glyphs or when fontconfig
|
||
finds an installed font with them (not over SSH), else quadrants), `kitty` (force real images),
|
||
`sextant` (2x3 pixels per cell, needs a font with the Symbols for Legacy Computing block) or
|
||
`quadrant` (2x2, every font has them) or `cells` (one colored cell per pixel, no glyphs; for
|
||
terminals whose block characters come out uneven, like macOS Terminal). Inside tmux or screen the
|
||
block styles are used. If a poster looks wrong, set `quadrant`, or `cells` if the rows look shifted.
|
||
- **Calendar**: the next two weeks of movie releases (cinemas, digital, physical) and airing episodes
|
||
in one list grouped by day, with poster and plot. Move by weeks, include unmonitored items, search
|
||
for releases or start an automatic search from there.
|
||
- **Downloads**: SABnzbd queue and history plus the Radarr/Sonarr queues. Pause/resume, delete,
|
||
retry failed downloads, remove from the arr queue and blocklist.
|
||
- **Config (F6)**: edit everything in the config file from inside the program, in one list you move
|
||
through with the arrow keys: service addresses and API keys, the add-form defaults, refresh interval, posters, theme, notifications. *Test*
|
||
checks the values you typed before saving; *Save* writes the file (permissions kept, `0600` for a
|
||
new file) and applies the changes at once (the theme at the next start). Values that come from `ARR_TUI_*`
|
||
environment variables are greyed out and are never written to the file.
|
||
- **Log (F7)**: actions report through popups that fade away; the log keeps the history.
|
||
- **Download notifications**: a popup (and a log entry) when a SABnzbd download finishes or fails,
|
||
whichever view is open. SABnzbd's history is checked every 15 seconds; downloads that finished
|
||
before arr-tui started are not announced. `"ui": {"notify_downloads": false}` turns it off,
|
||
`"bell": true` also rings the terminal bell.
|
||
- **Themes**: fixed dark and light color sets that look the same in every terminal, whatever its
|
||
color theme. `"ui": {"theme": ...}` is `auto` (default: light when the terminal reports a light
|
||
background, else dark), `dark` or `light`; it can also be set in the Config view and applies at the
|
||
next start.
|
||
- Connection indicators for all three services in the top right; `F9` shows every key.
|
||
|
||
Requires Radarr/Sonarr v3+ API (Radarr 5/6, Sonarr 4) and SABnzbd 4+. Only Usenet releases are
|
||
shown for grabbing, torrents are hidden.
|
||
|
||
## Install
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
go install git.stinnesbeck.com/nils/arr-tui/cmd/arr-tui@latest
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
or build from a checkout (`make build`), or `make dist` for cross-compiled binaries in `dist/`.
|
||
|
||
## Configure
|
||
|
||
Copy `config.example.json` to `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/arr-tui/config.json` (usually
|
||
`~/.config/arr-tui/config.json`), or pass `--config path`. API keys are in each app under
|
||
Settings → General.
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
{
|
||
"radarr": { "url": "http://localhost:7878", "apikey": "...", "default_quality_profile": "HD-1080p", "default_root_folder": "/movies" },
|
||
"sonarr": { "url": "http://localhost:8989", "apikey": "...", "default_quality_profile": "HD-1080p", "default_root_folder": "/tv" },
|
||
"sabnzbd": { "url": "http://localhost:8080", "apikey": "..." },
|
||
"ui": { "refresh_seconds": 3, "covers": true, "cover_style": "auto", "theme": "auto", "notify_downloads": true, "bell": false }
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`default_*` are optional preselections in the add dialog. URL and key can also come from the
|
||
environment: `ARR_TUI_{RADARR,SONARR,SABNZBD}_{URL,APIKEY}`, which takes precedence over the file.
|
||
Keep the file private (`chmod 600`); it holds your API keys.
|
||
|
||

|
||
## Development
|
||
|
||
`dev/` has a compose file with pinned Radarr, Sonarr and SABnzbd containers plus a fake indexer;
|
||
see [dev/README.md](dev/README.md).
|
||
`make test` runs vet and the unit tests. The design and
|
||
milestone history are in [SPECS.md](SPECS.md).
|
||
|
||
Releases: tag and push, then `scripts/release.sh` (or `make release`) builds the binaries and publishes
|
||
them on Gitea with the matching `CHANGELOG.md` section. It needs an access token with write access
|
||
to the repository in `$GITEA_TOKEN` or `~/.config/arr-tui-release-token`; `--check` verifies
|
||
everything without publishing, `--dry-run` builds without publishing.
