What is watchlistarr?
Watchlistarr is a self-hosted synchronization tool that connects Plex watchlists to Sonarr and Radarr. It uses multiple Plex API methods — RSS feeds, metadata calls, and GraphQL — to fetch watchlist data in real-time and automatically add matching movies and TV shows to the *arr applications. A full delete sync feature can remove content from Sonarr/Radarr when users remove items from their Plex watchlists. The application runs as a Docker container or a standalone Java JAR (Java 11+), configured via environment variables or a YAML config file. It requires Sonarr v3+, Radarr v3+, and a Plex token; a Plex Pass subscription is recommended for RSS feed access.
