Capabilities

One pipeline from search to shelf.

Set up your providers and download clients, then monitor series. Comicarr searches for releases and shows acquisitions that need your attention.

Automatic downloading

Usenet and torrents, plus direct-download providers. Comicarr searches when an issue drops, sends the grab to whichever client you've configured, then post-processes and files the result. Review failed or stalled downloads in Needs Attention.

Migration

Coming from
Mylar3.

Comicarr builds on Mylar3. The first-run wizard imports its library records and configuration from a read-only mount. Check paths and issue statuses before enabling searches; migration cannot guarantee that downloads never repeat.
