What is SuggestAarr?

SuggestAarr analyses your existing Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby library, queries TMDb for similar titles you don't already have, and automatically submits them as requests to Overseerr or Jellyseerr. The result is a self-filling library that gets smarter about your taste over time.

Features

• 🤖 Auto-generates recommendations based on your existing library
• 🎬 Queries TMDb for similar movies and TV shows
• 📤 Sends requests directly to Overseerr or Jellyseerr
• 🚫 Skips titles you already have or have previously rejected
• ⏱️ Configurable schedule — run daily, weekly, or on demand
• 🧩 Works with Sonarr, Radarr, and the full *arr ecosystem

SuggestAarr in Your Media Ecosystem

SuggestAarr sits between your media server and your request manager. It reads your Plex or Jellyfin library, generates a recommendations batch from TMDb, and pushes them through Overseerr → Radarr / Sonarr → your storage. Add Pulsarr for Trakt-based recommendations as a complementary source.

Why ElfHosted?

SuggestAarr needs to run on a schedule and make authenticated API calls to multiple services simultaneously. Coordinating those credentials across a home server setup — and keeping the schedule alive after reboots — is fiddly. ElfHosted runs SuggestAarr as a persistent service alongside your other *arr apps so recommendations flow automatically without intervention.
