Reaper

Reaper finds the movies and shows nobody watches, explains why it thinks each one is expendable, and removes them safely through Sonarr and Radarr.

Tip

It ships read-only. A new install can scan, score, and explain, and nothing else, until you arm deletion with a password, or a deploy sets it on at first boot.

Start here

• What Reaper does if you are still deciding.
• Install to get it running: Docker, Unraid, Windows, macOS, or a snap.
• First run for the order to do things in.
• Understanding policy once it is scanning and you want to tune it.

Every verdict shows its work

Reaper explains the keeps as well as the deletes. Every candidate carries the signals that counted against it and every protection that was checked and did not fire, with the real numbers behind each one.

Two independent layers sit under every deletion, and each is checked on its own. The refusal lives at the network layer, and a missing rating or an unreachable service can only ever protect a file.

How a delete is kept safe walks the whole path through.
