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!

ok, but why do I want to use this? what does it do? what is its purpose?

The arr stack is for downloading media in an automated matter, for example sonarr will scan the inderxers you give them for the series you want and automatically download them. Then you can use a service like jellyfin to watch your media

I'm aware of what the arr stack is for generally, but not with overseerr and jellyseerr

It's basically like https://thetvdb.com/ & https://www.themoviedb.org/ with buttons to auto download the media and automations on the backend to make that all happen.
