## Description

BookBounty is a self-hosted utility for Readarr users that automatically finds and downloads missing books from Library Genesis. It integrates with Readarr via its API to detect missing books, searches LibGen for matches, and downloads them to a configured folder. The tool supports scheduled syncs, configurable match thresholds, language and file extension filtering, and two download structure modes (flat files or organized author/book folders). It runs as a Docker container with a web UI on port 5000. The project is licensed under MPL-2.0 and is actively maintained with regular releases.
