🎬 Findarr

Stop searching. Start finding.

Find movies and shows you actually want — without endless scrolling.

✨ What makes Findarr different

Finding something to watch shouldn’t feel like scrolling the same lists every day.

Findarr is built on a simple idea:

If you’ve already rated something, you won’t see it again
No re-evaluating the same titles over and over
Your feed always stays fresh

You go through content once — like it or dislike it — then move on.

No repetition. No clutter. No déjà vu lists.

⚡ How it works

Discover → Like / Dislike → New content only

Everything you've already rated disappears from your discovery flow.

Configure a voting pool (for example, the top 100 movies and shows) and go through it once.

After that, you'll usually only have a handful of new titles to rate every few days.

No endless lists.
No maintaining dozens of watchlists.
No endlessly tweaking filters.

Just a small, constantly refreshed set of movies and shows that adapts to your taste.

🧠 Smart recommendations

Findarr combines:

Trending and recent releases
Your likes and dislikes
Genre preferences
Keywords from the movies and shows you've rated

Each user builds their own taste profile and receives personalized recommendations.

That means everyone can share the same media stack while discovering different movies and shows.

Every movie or show you like is automatically sent to Radarr or Sonarr.

No separate request buttons. Just like it and move on.
