✨ Why use it

Seerr's web UI is already great on a phone, so the app shows your own server's interface: every page, every setting and every feature, always matching the Seerr version you run. What the app adds is everything a browser tab can't do:

⚡ Instant request alerts Get a notification within seconds of someone making a request, with the poster attached. No waiting for a polling interval.	✅ Approve from the notification Tap Approve or Decline right on the alert, from the lock screen, without opening anything.
🔔 Request status updates Get told when your own requests are approved, declined or ready to watch.	🔑 Plex sign-in that works Plex sign-in opens in your browser, so Google, Apple and saved passwords work. The app takes you back when you're done.
📱 Feels like an app Back closes modals first, pull down refreshes, and it runs edge-to-edge in Seerr's own dark theme, with fullscreen video and file uploads.	🚀 Shortcuts & sharing Long-press the icon for Discover, Requests and Profile. Share a TMDB link or a title from any app to open it in Seerr.
🏠 Made for self-hosters Works with LAN http:// addresses, your own certificates, basic-auth reverse proxies, and Authelia or Authentik login pages.	🔄 Updates itself Checks this repo once a day and offers the new APK when there's a release.

📥 Install

1. Download the APK on your phone.
2. Open it, and allow installs from your browser or file manager if Android asks.
3. Enter your server address, for example https://requests.example.com or 192.168.1.10:5055, and sign in like you normally do.

Requires Android 8.0 or newer.

⚡ Instant alerts

Seerr has built-in ntfy notifications that fire the moment a request is made. The app keeps a lightweight connection to that ntfy topic, so you need no extra app, no Firebase and no polling.

    D -- "Approve / Decline" --> B

Loading

To turn it on: long-press the app icon, tap App settings, then switch on Instant new-request alerts.

• Seerr admins get one-tap setup. The app switches on Seerr's ntfy agent using a private, randomly named topic on the free ntfy.sh service, or your own ntfy server. If Seerr already sends to ntfy, the app reuses that topic, so all your phones share it.
• Everyone else can enter the ntfy server and topic their admin gives them.
• Allow background activity when asked, so alerts still arrive instantly while your phone is asleep.

Tip

Android requires a small silent "Instant alerts" notification while the connection is open. Long-press it and turn off Background connection to hide it. The alerts themselves keep working.

❓ FAQ

Does it work with Overseerr or Jellyseerr?

The app works with any server that answers Seerr's API, which includes Overseerr and Jellyseerr, so browsing and requesting work. Instant alerts need a server with an ntfy notification agent, which Seerr has.

Where does my data go?

The app connects to three places: your Seerr server, the ntfy server (only if you turn on instant alerts), and GitHub's API once a day to check for updates. It has no analytics or tracking.

Will it drain my battery?

No. The instant-alert connection sits idle until a message arrives, with a tiny keepalive about every 45 seconds. It's the same approach the ntfy app uses. Request status checks run every 15 minutes, scheduled by Android.

Why isn't it on the Play Store?

It's a personal project. Releases are built and signed by GitHub Actions from this repo's source, and the app tells you when there's an update.

I don't see Approve / Decline on an alert

The buttons only appear for requests that are still pending, and only when you're signed in to Seerr in the app as someone who can manage requests.

🛠️ Building from source

Open the project in Android Studio, or run:

./gradlew assembleDebug

Every push to main is built by GitHub Actions. Pushing a tag such as v1.2.0 publishes a signed release with the APK attached. Release signing reads the SIGNING_KEYSTORE_BASE64, SIGNING_STORE_PASSWORD, SIGNING_KEY_ALIAS and SIGNING_KEY_PASSWORD repository secrets.
