Smart Media Cleanup & Lifecycle Manager
A Docker-based tool that integrates with Sonarr, Radarr, and Jellyfin/Plex to automatically track watched content, flag disposable media, and reclaim storage space. It bridges the gap between automated media acquisition and manual cleanup by applying user-defined retention rules—keep favorites forever, delete watched non-favorites after 30 days, archive TV seasons after completion.
これが重要な理由
You have spent months building your self-hosted media library. Your automation stack dutifully fetches everything, but nobody helped you plan for when your 10TB fills up. Now you are stuck manually scrolling through hundreds of movies and shows, trying to recall what you watched and what was worth keeping. The process is tedious—TV shows are manageable, but movies require individual decisions. The tools that automated your acquisition do not help with cleanup. You wish something could track what you have actually watched, flag the disposable content, and free up space automatically without you babysitting the process.

失敗する可能性がある理由
自己反論 — 最も重要な信頼のシグナル
- 1The *arr ecosystem is built by and for enthusiasts who expect free open-source tools—users may replicate this as a community script rather than pay for it
- 2Sonarr, Radarr, and Jellyfin APIs change across versions and maintaining compatibility could become an unsustainable maintenance burden with limited revenue
- 3Users may fundamentally distrust automated deletion of media files—the fear of losing something valuable may prevent adoption even with safety guards and preview modes
エビデンスの概要
AIがこのインサイトをどのように統合したか — 逐語的な引用はありません
Multiple commenters describe the pain of accumulating media without effective cleanup tools. One user filled 10TB and reports manually sorting through everything, calling movie deletion especially tedious. Another asks specifically about managing old, unwatched content. A third mentions manually removing non-favorite movies through Radarr after a single viewing. The acquisition side is fully automated, but the lifecycle endpoint—deciding what to keep and reclaiming space—remains manual and painful. No existing tool in the discussed stack addresses this gap.
