Jellyseerr / Seerr
JellyWatch integrates deeply with both Jellyseerr and Seerr. Each service has its own full management screen organized into tabs: Requests, Search, Discover, Users, and Issues.
Both screens work the same way. Seerr is the Plex-oriented variant; Jellyseerr is for Jellyfin and Emby. You can connect both at the same time.
Requests Tab
- Browse all requests with poster art, requester, media type, and status.
- Status filters: All, Pending, Approved, Processing, Available, Partially Available, Failed.
- Approve or decline pending requests directly from the app.
- Change the root folder of a request before it is processed.
- Paginated loading for large request lists.
Search Tab
- Search for any movie or TV show by title (minimum a few characters).
- Results show poster, media type, and current status (already requested, available, or requestable).
- Request a title with one tap.

Dashboard Integration
Once configured, the Dashboard shows:

- Seerr Requests carousel (if using Seerr).
These carousels can be reordered or hidden from Settings -> Menu Customization -> Dashboard Sections.
Notifications
Enable Jellyseerr/Seerr notifications in Settings -> Notifications to receive alerts when new requests are submitted. The two services are monitored independently and notify on their own channels. See the Notifications documentation for details.
Notes
- Requests, issues, users, and discover all read live from the connected service.
- For remote access, use a VPN or reverse proxy. Never expose the service publicly without authentication.
