What Reaper does
Your library grows faster than your disk. Reaper reads your watch history and gives you a reviewed list. Each item has a plain explanation of why it's 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. If Reaper couldn't read something, it adds no pressure to the score. If it couldn't check a protection, it keeps the file outright.
- Never touches something being watched. If a file is currently in play or has been played since you approved it, it drops off the list.
- Only works through Sonarr and Radarr. Every removal is a request sent to one of them.
- Gives you time to change your mind. Anything on its way out gets a countdown first. You still start every deletion by hand.
- A reap is a person at the keyboard. To delete, you need 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. Reaper encrypts every credential before storing it and redacts it from the logs. The API only tells you whether a credential is set.
What it connects to
- Tautulli tells Reaper who watched what, and when.
- Sonarr manages your TV shows, and Reaper removes them through it.
- Radarr manages your movies, and Reaper removes them through it.
- Seerr (Overseerr or Jellyseerr) tells Reaper who requested a title. You can see the requester, filter by them, or write a rule to keep their requests.
- Plex is your library. Reaper reads it and refreshes it after you clean up.
Tautulli plus Sonarr or Radarr is enough to start scanning.
