Overseerr is an open source request management and media discovery application built for Plex libraries. It lets users discover movies and TV shows, submit requests, and helps admins approve and route those requests to automation tools like Sonarr and Radarr.

Key Features

Plex integration with Plex OAuth authentication and user access management
Media discovery UI with a streamlined request and approval workflow
Integrations with Sonarr and Radarr to send approved requests for fulfillment
Plex library scanning to show what is already available
Granular permissions for users and administrators
Support for multiple Sonarr/Radarr instances (including separate 4K servers)
Notification agents for request and approval updates
Mobile-friendly interface
Community-driven localization and translation support

Use Cases

Provide a simple “request portal” for friends and family to request media in Plex
Centralize approval and tracking of requests for automated Sonarr/Radarr downloads
Run separate standard and 4K request pipelines while keeping one front-end

Limitations and Considerations

Designed primarily for Plex ecosystems; users of other media servers may prefer alternatives built for those platforms

Overseerr is well-suited for anyone who wants a clean, permissioned way to manage Plex content requests and connect them to existing media automation workflows. It combines user-friendly discovery with admin-focused approval and tracking tools.
