YOUR LIBRARY, IN GOOD ORDER

Find what’s missing.
Keep what you have.

Cyddar helps you keep a personal media library up to date. It scans the folders you already use, tracks the shows you follow, and gives you one clear place to see requests and downloads.

✳ Runs on your own computer or NAS. Your library stays yours.

A BETTER WAY TO KEEP UP

From “do I have this?”
to “it’s already on the way.”

Cyddar connects your existing library to the services you choose, then keeps the status easy to understand.

Scan the folders

On first setup and every three hours, Cyddar checks your movie and TV folders. Existing files stay where they are and count as already in your library.

NO DUPLICATE REQUESTS

See what’s happening

Cyddar searches your configured indexers, prefers acceptable Usenet releases, and shows the queue with progress and an ETA when the client provides one.

⌂BEST FOR A SHARED LIBRARY

Run it on your NAS

Keep Cyddar beside the folders it scans and the clients it controls. On first launch, the walkthrough guides you through the paths, indexer, download client and library scan.

  1. Give Cyddar access to Movies and TV folders.
  2. Connect and test an indexer and download client.
  3. Review the quality profile and run the initial scan.

One practical detail

Desktop installs bind to the local machine by default. For a NAS or another shared host, follow the container setup and keep the admin password set before other household members use it. Cyddar imports into the folders Hearthvue scans.
