Boxarr boxes the Servarr stack, the downloader, and the players you already run. It holds that stack to your catalogue. It is a lifecycle companion — not a grabber, not a media server, and not a dashboard.
Inside Boxarr
Fetcharr and Metarr are Boxarr functions. Unboxarr, Usarr, and Romarr are sibling apps.
The management layer once the stack exists. Operator face, Control backend, catalogue as the local source of truth.
The Daily pipeline. Queue-first: claim, hold in [Staging], verify, rename, place, clear the stack, then Kaizen what this run touched.
Optional I2P metadata mesh. Nodes share refined records. Metasource is the network identity. Media stays home.
Metadata mesh
Metarr keeps media knowledge alive. Nodes share refined records — never the files, never the paths. Discovery is on the mesh. Transport is I2P. Metasource is the identity those records carry, so many libraries can name the same title without making IMDb, TMDB, or TVDB the primary key.
Align against the catalogue and the sources you already trust. The record that leaves is better than a raw scrape.
A node can offer a clean record even if that title is not in its library. Others pull it. Relays keep the mesh moving.
What moves is metadata. Metarr does not download media. Acquisition stays with your grabber and downloader.
Metarr exists so these get hit far less often. Boxarr still speaks their IDs as aliases — IMDb first for titles you already own. Your catalogue remains the local source of truth.
A sample of the operator surface. The full picture lives on Features.
qBittorrent is the preferred download app. Fetcharr claims finished work, holds it in [Staging], proves it, names it, places keepers, then clears matching jobs on the grabber, the downloader, and Jellyseerr. Test Mode plans the run without moving files.
Optional-off mesh inside Boxarr. Nodes share refined metadata so knowledge about titles is preserved when a scraper, a host, or a single library goes away.

Library form: names, folders, and missing members against the catalogue you meant to have — especially long-running series that have drifted over years of grabs.
Sanitized LOOK
A packed copy of the operator and Control faces. Tabs, folds, and Fetcharr chrome work. Nothing talks to a live stack. Saves last about four hours in this browser, then the canned layout returns.
Windows installer and tray / service options land with that release.
Linux packages and generic archives land with that release.
If you run the stack on a Mac, Docker is the path we will support — same containers as everyone else. Join the waitlist if you want a note when that image is ready.
Same container model as the Servarr App Stack. qBittorrent is the preferred download app.
Source and CLI instructions will be published with the first public cut. There is nothing to install from this page yet. The demo is a sanitized LOOK of the operator face.
