After almost 3 years of work, I've finally managed to get this project stable enough to release an alpha version!

I'm proud to present Managarr - A TUI and CLI for managing your Servarr instances! At the moment, the alpha version only supports Radarr.

Not all features are implemented for the alpha version, like managing quality profiles or quality definitions, etc.

Here's some screenshots of the TUI:

Additionally, you can use it as a CLI for Radarr; For example, to search for a new film:

managarr radarr search-new-movie --query "star wars"

Or you can add a new movie by its TMDB ID:

managarr radarr add movie --tmdb-id 1895 --root-folder-path /nfs/movies --quality-profile-id 1

All features available in the TUI are also available via the CLI.

I'll admit, as neat as this is, I'm a little unclear on the use case? Are there really situations where it's easier to get a command prompt than it is to open a webpage?

The CLI side I can see more use for since that does expose a lot of actions to bash scripting, which could be neat. But on the whole I can't say I've ever really found myself thinking "Man, I really wish I had a UI for managing Radarr, a program that already includes a really good UI."

I know it's shitty to hate on something just because you're not the target for it. That's not my intent, it's more that I'm just fascinated by the question of how anyone has a burning need for this? It feels like there must be something I'm missing here.

Cli doesn't make much sense to me either when the *arr suite has a well documented rest API already.
