PrunArr

Automatically clean up your Radarr and Sonarr libraries based on what you've actually watched in Plex/Jellyfin (via Tautulli).

Stop manually managing your media library. PrunArr removes watched content after a configurable period, checks streaming availability, and gives you complete control over what stays and what goes.

Why PrunArr?

The Problem:

• Your media library keeps growing
• You're running out of storage space
• Manually tracking what's been watched is tedious
• You don't know what's safe to remove
• There are Movies and Shows in your library that are also availble on streaming providers

The Solution: PrunArr automates media cleanup by:

• ✅ Checking Tautulli to see what's been watched
• ✅ Removing content after your specified retention period
• ✅ Checking if content is available on streaming services
• ✅ Supporting user-based tracking for multi-user setups
• ✅ Providing safety features (dry-run, confirmations, previews)

Perfect for:

• People with limited storage space
• Multi-user Plex/Jellyfin servers
• Users of Overseerr request management
• Anyone tired of manual library cleanup
• Users who want to prioritize unique content over streamable content

Key Features

🎯 User-Based Tracking

Integrates with Overseerr to automatically track who requested what. Content is only removed when watched by the original requester.

⏰ Flexible Retention Periods

Control exactly how long to keep watched content:

prunarr movies remove --days-watched 60   # Remove after 60 days
prunarr series remove --days-watched 90   # Keep series longer

📦 Size-Based Filtering

Target large files to free up space quickly:

prunarr movies list --min-filesize "5GB" --sort-by filesize --desc
prunarr movies remove --min-filesize "5GB" --days-watched 60

🏷️ Tag-Based Organization

Filter content by quality, genre, or any custom tags:

prunarr movies list --tag "4K" --tag "HDR"
prunarr movies remove --tag "Kids" --days-watched 14

🎬 Streaming Provider Integration

Check if content is available on your streaming services via JustWatch:

# Remove watched movies available on streaming
prunarr movies remove --on-streaming --days-watched 30

# Keep unique content longer (not on streaming)
prunarr movies remove --not-on-streaming --days-watched 180
