Open-source media request and discovery manager for Jellyfin, Plex, and Emby.
Seerr is a fork/successor of Overseerr and Jellyseerr — a web UI that lets users request movies and TV shows, then routes those requests to Radarr/Sonarr for automatic downloading. It supports Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby as the media server backend. The target user is someone running a self-hosted media stack who wants a clean request interface with permission controls.
The multi-server backend support (Plex + Jellyfin + Emby) in a single codebase is genuinely useful — Jellyseerr dropped Plex support and Overseerr dropped Jellyfin, so Seerr consolidating both fills a real gap. The CI/CD setup is thorough: Cypress e2e tests, CodeQL scanning, Renovate for dependency updates, Trivy for container scanning, and Helm charts for Kubernetes — this is more than most self-hosted projects bother with. PostgreSQL support alongside SQLite gives you an upgrade path without a rewrite. The Renovate config is well-organized into topic-grouped presets rather than one flat file.
This is heavily derived from Overseerr/Jellyseerr with incremental additions — the blog post from Feb 2026 is the actual fork announcement, so the codebase is less than a year old under this name, which means unknown long-term maintainability. The entity model (`server/entity/`) is unchanged TypeORM with SQLite as default, which will bite you at scale — requests with lots of seasons generate a lot of rows and SQLite's locking will become a problem before most users realize they need to migrate. There's no support for Prowlarr or Lidarr (music), so it's movies and TV only — the feature list says 'more to come' but that's been true of Overseerr for years. The watchlist auto-request feature is Plex-only, which is an odd gap given the Jellyfin/Emby pitch.
