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!

I don't quite get what this is supposed to do. Is it basically a software to allow jellyfin/plex users to request media without needing a radarr/sonarr account?

It's a beautiful UI for requesting content where you don't go into the details of arrs. Great if you have other family members you want to allow to request things.

Basically yes. My father can log into Overseer with his Plex account, so no new account and password, and request movies or tv shows which I can approve manually or pre-approve. I don't have to give him admin access to my Sonarr or Radarr and the user interface is quite friendly.

Also great for finding trending content, ratings, trailers, and also all the work an actor/actress has done.

sonarr and radarr only have support for a single account wich among other things exposes api keys.

Seerr lets you have users with the same login as they use for jellyfin (or plex?) To request content and the server admin can approve or deny rhe request.
