Hosted Scryer: managed media-manager hosting for early adopters who want the *arr workflow in one fast, self-contained service.

Early Access

This app is a brand-new addition to ElfHosted, and is considered beta. It runs, we test it, and your trial lets you prove it fits before you commit, but our support team does not yet have deep experience with it. Expect some trial and error: lean on the upstream documentation, experiment freely, and share what you learn in Discord, where the community and team are figuring these new apps out together. If you need a battle-tested workflow today, our established apps are the safer pick.

What is Scryer?

Scryer is a media manager for movies, TV series, and anime, built as a single Rust binary that bundles a web UI, a GraphQL API, and a SQLite database. It monitors the titles you track, searches releases through pluggable providers, applies your quality and rule policies, coordinates downloads and imports, and organises the results into a tidy library for your media server. If you run the *arr stack today, the workflow is familiar: monitor, search, grab, import, rename, reimagined as one service instead of several.

Scryer does not host, index, or provide any content. It orchestrates the indexers and download clients you configure and are authorised to use; you are responsible for complying with the laws that apply to you.

Key Features

• Movies, TV, and anime in one app: Three library types under one roof, with per-library paths and policies.
• Single Rust binary: Web UI, GraphQL API, and database in one fast, low-footprint service.
• Pluggable providers: Add Newznab/Torznab indexers directly, or reuse the ones you manage in Prowlarr.
• Quality and rule policies: Define what a good release looks like and let Scryer enforce it, upgrades included.
• Import and organisation: Completed downloads are renamed and placed into clean library paths.
• Subtitle management: Handled in-app rather than by yet another sidecar service.

Scryer in Your Stack

Scryer plugs into the standard ElfHosted pipeline: indexers from Prowlarr, downloads via Decypharr (qBittorrent-compatible, debrid-backed) or NzbDAV (Usenet-over-WebDAV), library paths under your storage, and Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby reading the results. Pair it with Autopulse for instant library updates on import. Run it as a replacement for the classic *arrs, or alongside them while you compare.

Why Run Scryer on ElfHosted?

Early-stage software is much more fun when someone else handles the updates, storage, and wiring. ElfHosted keeps Scryer current with its fast-moving upstream and connected to everything it needs.

• Managed access and support: Provisioned in minutes, updated as upstream releases, with humans on Discord when you need them.
• Plays well with other ElfHosted apps: Prowlarr, Decypharr, NzbDAV, and your media server are one internal hostname away.
• Persistent config: Tracked titles, policies, and history survive restarts and upgrades.
• Simple subscription: One flat monthly price with a 7-day trial, cancel anytime.

Works With

• Prowlarr: Reuse your existing indexer definitions.
• Decypharr / NzbDAV: Debrid-backed and Usenet-over-WebDAV download clients.
• Plex / Jellyfin / Emby: Serve the libraries Scryer organises.
• Autopulse: Instant media-server updates on import.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Scryer include any movies or shows?
No. Scryer organises and automates; content comes only from the indexers and download clients you configure yourself.

How do I log in?
Your instance sits behind ElfHosted single sign-on, so only you can reach it. Scryer ships with a default admin login; change the password under Settings on first visit anyway, as good practice.

Is Scryer ready to replace my Radarr and Sonarr?
Treat it as early access: it is a young, fast-moving project under active development. Many customers run it alongside the classic *arrs and migrate at their own pace.

What makes it different from the *arr stack?
One binary instead of several apps: movies, TV, anime, and subtitles managed in a single fast service with one UI and one database.
