arr-tui
A terminal UI to search for movies and series with Radarr and Sonarr, pick releases by hand, and follow the downloads in SABnzbd.
- 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, and grab one. Series: pick a season or a single episode first.
- Downloads: SABnzbd queue and history plus the Radarr/Sonarr queues. Pause/resume, delete, retry failed downloads, remove from the arr queue and blocklist.
- Connection indicators for all three services in the top right;
?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
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.
{
"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 }
}
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.
