Post Description

I've been working on Managarr for a few years. It's a terminal-based TUI (Text-based User Interface) and CLI for managing your self-hosted *arr media server stack (Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, Readarr, Whisparr, Bazarr).

The TUI gives you a fully interactive interface to browse your libraries, manage downloads, trigger searches, view media details, and more, all from the terminal, and even supports custom theming.

The CLI mirrors all TUI functionality and outputs JSON, making it easy to script with jq or integrate into automation pipelines.

It's built in Rust using Ratatui. Available via Cargo, Homebrew, Nix, Chocolatey, or Docker.
