Say which movie and show titles still matter to you and set the rest aside. Pick the place that will hold the titles once they leave the tracker. One public IMDb list gives one link for Radarr with movies and one for Sonarr with shows. [^1] A self-hoster who runs Radarr and Sonarr can keep titles in public IMDb lists. Radarr and Sonarr are free helper programs that many owners run to find and add movies (Radarr) and shows (Sonarr) to their library. Have them ready so that titles brought out of the cloud tracker have somewhere to go. Check how the place that holds the titles treats movies and shows before you put them there. Allow time to review the exported titles and remove anything that is no longer wanted. Before you close the tracker, check that the titles you wanted sit in the new place. ## Step by step 1. Use the cloud tracker's own export to save the movie and show titles, and review what it gives you. 2. Choose the place that will hold the titles now that they are off the cloud tracker, such as a public IMDb list that Watcharr accepts. [^1] 4. Write down what each list holds and how it feeds the library, so the setup is clear if it needs to be rebuilt later. 4. Watcharr turns the list into one link for Radarr and one for Sonarr. [^1] 5. Check that every kept title appears in the new place before you stop using the cloud tracker. 6. Keep a copy of the exported list, and shut down the cloud tracker only when the new setup works as you want it to. ## Tools that can do it Watcharr is made by the team that publishes this site. Watcharr connects public IMDb lists to Radarr and Sonarr for a self-hoster who runs those tools. You paste one public IMDb list and get one link for Radarr with the movies and one for Sonarr with the shows. [^1] Each link acts like a small Radarr or Sonarr server, so Radarr checks it every 15 minutes and Sonarr every 5. [^1] The links are built from the IMDb list's id, so the same list always gives the same two links. [^1] Watcharr accepts any public IMDb watchlist or list from the desktop site, the phone site or IMDb's other-language pages. [^1] Watcharr looks up TheTVDB ids through TVMaze and TMDB, leaves out shows it can't match, and tells you which ones it skipped. [^1] For each list the page shows covers in a row, each opening TMDB's plot, genres, rating, backdrop and trailer. [^1] A bookmark you click inside Radarr or Sonarr adds the list for you, using that app's API key without sending it anywhere else. [^1] The hosted version needs nothing to install and no account. [^1] You can paste, copy and browse from any screen in the web app, and the one-click sticker shows on bigger screens. [^1] Signed-in users can combine several IMDb lists into one Radarr link and one Sonarr link for the whole household, and a title that is on two lists is added only once. [^1] If you sign in, it re-reads your list about every 15 minutes and warns you when a list fails three reads in a row. [^1] If a read of the list fails, the links keep serving the last list that loaded correctly. [^1] Watcharr runs as one Cloudflare app with a Cloudflare database, plus a GitHub job that reads IMDb. [^1] Its code is available to read under the PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0 licence; older versions remain under MIT. [^1] Commercial use is not licensed, and no commercial licence is for sale. [^1] Before choosing a tool, check how it handles the export of titles, the place where the titles are kept, and the way the titles reach the library. ## Common mistakes to avoid Avoid leaving titles scattered across several places after the move. Keep the moved titles in one place so the setup is easier to check and rebuild. Avoid deleting the cloud tracker copy before the new place is proven. Keep the exported titles until you are sure the new setup works. Avoid choosing a tool without checking how it reads titles and where it sends them. Review what a tool asks for and what it does with the list before it takes over the titles from the cloud tracker. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does Watcharr store watch history itself?
