We're excited to announce a major update: the Jellyseerr and Overseerr teams are officially merging into a single team called Seerr. This unification marks an important step forward as we bring our efforts together under one banner.

For users, this means one shared codebase combining all existing Overseerr functionalities with the latest Jellyseerr features, along with Jellyfin and Emby support, allowing us to deliver updates more efficiently and keep the project moving forward.

Please check how to migrate to Seerr in our migration guide and stay tuned for more updates on the project!

I’ve missed both projects. What were they? Are they like Jackett or Prowlarr?

    Media requester for Plex and Jellyfin. But also tells you where things are streaming. A mix between IMDB and JustWatch.

    Overseer was for Plex
    Jellyseer was for Jellyfin

    Now we have Seer one platform to do both.

    If you just host for yourself, you don’t gain that much by using Seerr, besides having a nicer UI and you have more search filters compared to Sonarr and Radarr.

    However, if you have multiple users, you benefit a lot of it. Users, which have individual user accounts, can request media. Depending on the configuration, those requests have to be accepted manually, which gives you a way to still be in control of what ends up on your server. The user then gets notified about what has happened and if the media was downloaded.

    Honestly the UI is so slick even a one-user setup will benefit in my opinion. Even when not requesting media I use it extensively to look up actors and directors.

    Possibly the best foss UX I've ever used.

    I still prefer it as the only user so I don't have to switch between Radarr and Sonarr. I also find the search to be much better than either of those

    Me, too. I was just trying to be objectively neutral. Not every self-hoster is comfortable with maintaining another service, when there is no huge benefit to it. When I was still using Emby, I was happy with using IMDB plus Radarr/Sonarr.
