Readarr is a self-hosted ebook and audiobook collection manager for Usenet and BitTorrent users, in the style of Sonarr, that monitors RSS feeds, grabs, sorts, and renames books. The project has been officially retired because its book metadata source became unusable and no maintainers took over.
Use cases
- automatically download and organize my ebook collection
- monitor RSS feeds for new books from favorite authors
- manage audiobooks with usenet and torrents
- self-hosted pvr for ebooks like sonarr but for books
- sort and rename downloaded books automatically
When to choose
- you already run it and only need non-metadata features during the transition
- you are willing to use unsupported third-party metadata mirrors at your own risk
- you want to fork or revive the project
When to avoid
- you need a maintained, working book automation tool today
- you rely on the default metadata service, which is dead
- you want long-term support or new features
