Radarr for Mac

Streamlined Film Library Manager for macOS

Radarr is a free macOS application that helps movie fans keep their collections organized. Built as a film-focused fork of Sonarr, it provides an approachable interface for users familiar with TV-series managers while tailoring the workflow specifically to movies.

Main capabilities

• Automated searching and fetching of movie files according to custom rules.
• Smart organization and tracking of titles to keep a tidy library.
• Notification options to alert you when new items are added or downloads complete.
• Simple, user-friendly controls that reduce manual maintenance.

Integration and automation details

Radarr connects with a variety of download tools (torrent and Usenet clients) so it can place requests and monitor progress without manual intervention. You define the criteria—quality, release type, language, etc.—and Radarr will continuously search indexers and request matches automatically. It also renames and moves completed downloads into your preferred folder structure so your collection remains consistent.

Alternatives worth checking out

• Sonarr — the original series-focused project that inspired Radarr, useful if you also manage TV shows.
• OpenShift Client (Free) — a lightweight option listed as a recommended free alternative.
• Other media managers — several community tools exist that emphasize different features (e.g., lightweight interfaces, advanced metadata handling, or tight NAS integration).

Who should use it

If you want a low-effort way to keep a well-curated movie library on macOS—automating downloads, naming, and organization—Radarr is a practical choice. Its familiar layout makes it especially convenient for users transitioning from TV management tools to a film-centered workflow.
