Cantinarr

Media requests for your Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby household, plus Radarr and Sonarr management in one app. Discover movies and TV shows, request books and music, follow downloads, and get notified when something is ready.

Cantinarr combines a self-hosted request portal with a mobile media manager. Give friends and family a simple place to request what they want while you approve requests, manage libraries, and troubleshoot downloads from your phone or tablet.

Cantinarr connects to a server you run on your computer or NAS. The server is open source and runs in one Docker container. Set it up at cantinarr.com, then connect the app with a link from your administrator.

DISCOVER AND REQUEST

• Explore movies and shows from TMDB and Trakt, plus books and music from your connected services
• Search across your catalogs and see whether a title is Available, Requested, or Downloading
• Request a movie, show, selected seasons, ebook, audiobook, or album
• Follow request and download progress, with push notifications when content is ready
• Report a problem with a title so an administrator can investigate it

Your administrator chooses which services and titles you can access, and which requests need approval. Connect links make sign-in simple; passwords and passkeys are available when enabled.

MANAGE YOUR MEDIA SERVER

• Review requests and set approval, quality, and access rules for your household
• Manage Radarr and Sonarr libraries, plus books with Chaptarr and music with Lidarr
• Check Usenet and torrent queues in SABnzbd, NZBGet, and qBittorrent, with controls to pause and resume downloads
• Open a series, season, or episode, search for releases, and check live queues
• Use Import Doctor to understand stuck downloads and review proposed fixes
• Share Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, and Audiobookshelf access; check activity through Tautulli or Tracearr
• Set up push notifications, accounts, services, and devices from the app

Cantinarr runs its own request system and offers a Seerr-compatible API for supported integrations, including Maintainerr and Homepage.

OPTIONAL AI AGENT

Connect an AI provider to let Cantinarr's AI agent find media, check your library, and make requests. Open AI Assistant to chat; administrators can also manage libraries and downloads, troubleshoot issues, and update supported service settings. Available actions depend on your connected services, permissions, and enabled tools.

The remediation agent investigates persistent download problems and proposes repairs. Administrators review fixes or allow specific fixes to run automatically. Cantinarr also offers MCP tools for clients you authorize.

PRIVACY

The app connects to your own server. Service credentials stay server-side. There are no ads, analytics, or tracking. Poster art loads from the TMDB image CDN. AI features send prompts and context to the provider you or your administrator choose. If you link ChatGPT, sign-in happens in your browser; your password never passes through Cantinarr.
