What Reaper does
Your library grows faster than your disk. Reaper reads your watch history and hands you a reviewed list. Each item carries a plain explanation of why it is a candidate, and every protection Reaper checked. You skim, approve, and it removes the files through Sonarr and Radarr, then refreshes Plex.
Why you can trust it
- Missing evidence can only ever protect. Anything Reaper couldn't read adds no pressure to the score, and a protection it couldn't check keeps the file outright.
- Never touches something being watched. A file in play, or played since you approved, drops off the list.
- Only works through Sonarr and Radarr. Every removal is a request to one of them.
- Gives you time to change your mind. Anything on its way out gets a countdown first, and you still start every deletion by hand.
- A reap is a person at the keyboard. Deleting needs a signed-in browser, deletion armed, and a phrase you type that matches the exact plan. An API key is refused, every time.
- Your keys never come back out. Every credential is encrypted before it is stored and redacted from the logs, and the API will only ever tell you whether one is set.
What it connects to
- Tautulli tells Reaper who watched what, and when.
- Sonarr manages your TV shows. Reaper removes them through it.
- Radarr manages your movies. Reaper removes them through it.
- Seerr (Overseerr or Jellyseerr) tells Reaper who asked for a title, so you can see it, filter by it, and write a rule that keeps requests.
- Plex is your library. Reaper reads it, and refreshes it after a cleanup.
Tautulli plus Sonarr or Radarr is enough to start scanning.
