Prowlarr
App in the BluixApps catalog
What it is
Prowlarr is the *centralized indexer manager for the Arr stack** — configure your indexers (NZB, torrent, Usenet) once in Prowlarr, push the config to Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr/Readarr automatically. Modern replacement for Jackett with native protocol support.
If you have multiple *Arr apps and configured indexers in each manually, Prowlarr deletes that pain.
What it's for
- Indexer centralization — manage 10+ indexers in one place
- Multi-app push — same indexer config across Sonarr + Radarr + Lidarr + Readarr
- Indexer health monitoring — alerts on indexer failures
- Search testing — verify indexer responses without grabbing
- Stats + history — track grab success rates per indexer
Who it's for
- Self-hosted media stack operators running 2+ *Arr apps
- Indexer-heavy users with private tracker memberships
- Power users managing 5-20 indexers across protocols
- Multi-user households with shared *Arr stack
- *Arr-stack newcomers wanting the modern setup
Why teams pick Prowlarr over alternatives
- GPLv3 — fully open
- *Native Arr protocol** — auto-push config (Jackett requires manual sync)
- Multi-app architecture — designed for multi-*Arr deployments
