Overview

Reaparr is a free, open-source, self-hosted Plex downloader that lets users pull media from any accessible Plex server into their own library. The project was previously distributed under a different, Plex-referencing name before a trademark complaint from Plex Inc. prompted a rename to Reaparr, chosen to echo the naming convention of the broader *arr media-tooling ecosystem such as Sonarr and Radarr.

The project is licensed under GPL-3.0, hosted on GitHub under the Reaparr organization, and distributed as Docker images for cross-platform deployment on Windows, Linux, macOS, Unraid and Synology systems across both ARM and AMD hardware.

Key Features

Reaparr connects multiple Plex accounts and servers, letting users browse and download accessible media through a poster-grid or table view with filtering and sorting by genre, year and quality, and per-item destination folder selection. Downloads run across multiple parallel threads with automatic recovery from interruptions.

Beyond standalone downloading, Reaparr can act as an indexer and download client inside Sonarr and Radarr, letting those tools queue items for Reaparr to fetch automatically, functioning as an alternative to traditional torrent or Usenet indexers within that workflow.

Pricing

Reaparr is entirely free and open source, with no paid tiers or commercial entity behind it. The project is sustained through voluntary donations that fund ongoing development, hosting and documentation, and users self-host the application via Docker on their own hardware.
