kbarr

Self-hosted anime monitoring and automatic downloading.

Disclaimer

This is a hobby project. The entire codebase was built using AI (Claude) — no human-written code, with some manual debugging along the way.

It works for personal use but is not actively maintained as a public project. Use it at your own risk. Issues may or may not be addressed.

Add a show, monitor the episodes you want, and kbarr handles the rest — searching for matching torrents, queuing them in qBittorrent, and organising finished downloads into your media library. Runs via Docker.

Metadata is sourced from AniDB. Torrent search runs through kbdex (recommended, no API key needed) or Prowlarr. Downloads go through qBittorrent, with more clients planned.
