Prowlarr is a self-hosted indexer manager and proxy for torrent trackers and Usenet indexers, built on the *arr (.NET/React) stack. It centrally manages indexers and syncs them to PVR apps like Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, Readarr, and Mylar3, with manual search, statistics, and proxy support.

Use cases

  • manage torrent trackers and usenet indexers in one place
  • sync indexers to radarr and sonarr automatically
  • self-hosted indexer proxy for PVR apps
  • search across multiple torrent and usenet indexers
  • add custom indexer definitions with Cardigann YML
  • track indexer health, history, and statistics
  • run indexers behind SOCKS or FlareSolverr proxies

When to choose

  • you use multiple *arr PVR apps and want centralized indexer management
  • you want one place to configure, monitor, and search all your trackers and indexers
  • you need support for hundreds of trackers plus generic Newznab/Torznab indexers

When to avoid

  • you only use a single PVR app and don't mind per-app indexer setup
  • you need a general-purpose torrent search client rather than an indexer manager
  • you want a lightweight tool without a web UI or .NET runtime
