# 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. It is drawn with colored block characters (works over SSH, needs a 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 characters: `quadrant` (2x2
pixels per cell, every font has them), `sextant` (2x3, sharper, needs a font with the Symbols for
Legacy Computing block, e.g. kitty, WezTerm, foot, Ghostty) or `auto` (default: sextant on
terminals known to support it, quadrant elsewhere). If you see boxes or question marks in the
poster, set `quadrant`.
- **Library**: browse movies (top) and series (below) with a details pane on the right, filter by status (missing / downloaded / monitored) and by file properties (quality, x265 / x264 / AV1, HDR, Dolby Vision, audio format, language), toggle
monitoring, trigger searches, remove titles (the files stay on disk unless you tick "Delete files"). Series open into seasons and episodes with per-season and
per-episode monitoring, automatic search and release search.
- **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.
- **Log (F6)**: 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.
- 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
```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", "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.
