Because RSS sometimes needs a nudge.

Nudgarr keeps your Radarr and Sonarr libraries improving automatically — scheduling searches for missing content and quality upgrades so you don't have to.

Nudgarr is a self-hosted Docker application that sits alongside your existing Radarr and Sonarr instances and periodically triggers searches on your behalf. It handles two distinct jobs:

• Cutoff Unmet — finds items in Radarr/Sonarr's Wanted → Cutoff Unmet queue and triggers a search for a better quality version
• Backlog Nudges — searches missing movies and episodes that have never been grabbed, with configurable age filtering and per-app caps

Nudgarr respects your indexers. Searches are rate-limited by configurable cooldowns, batch sizes, sleep timers, and jitter. Items already downloading are silently skipped so they never consume a search slot.
