## What it is
Radarr is a self-hosted movie collection manager for Usenet and BitTorrent users that monitors RSS feeds, searches indexers, and sends releases to download clients. It automatically grabs, sorts, renames, imports, and quality-upgrades movies, integrating with clients like SABnzbd, NZBGet, qBittorrent, and media servers like Plex and Kodi.

## Use cases
- automatically download new movies as they are released
- organize and rename my movie library for Plex
- upgrade existing movies to better quality automatically
- replace CouchPotato for usenet movie automation
- search and grab movie releases from indexers manually
- manage a self-hosted media automation stack with Sonarr and Prowlarr

## When to choose
- you want automated movie downloading, sorting, renaming, and quality upgrades
- you use Usenet or torrent download clients and want deep integration
- you run a self-hosted media server like Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, or Kodi
- you want a mature, actively maintained PVR with a web UI and API

## When to avoid
- you need to manage TV shows instead of movies (use Sonarr)
- you want both 4K and 1080p copies of the same movie in one instance (requires separate instances)
- you need a lightweight tool without a web service or database
