Home and Settings

New here

What Home tells you after setup, and where each setting lives.

The switch at the top shows Home or System.

Until setup is done, Home lists what is left, each linking to its screen:

  • Choose a Library folder
  • Add a Source
  • Add a Downloader
  • Add your first title

Import what you have adds folders of media you already own.

After setup, Home shows:

Card What it tells you
Needs attention or All good Problems to fix, or none
Downloads How many are waiting, downloading and importing
Sources and Downloaders How many are working
Coming up Air dates and releases; the owner gets a link to the Calendar
Shortcuts Explore, trending, Calendar, Search
Uptime How long HolyArrs has been running

Home updates by itself. If a card says Could not read, press Try again.

Open Settings from the menu. You see only the screens your account may use, and only for parts that are on. The Settings home lists what needs attention, such as a source that does not answer or no recent backup, with a link to the fix.

If a saved folder or Pick rules set is removed later, HolyArrs falls back to the built-in choice and Settings flags it.

HolyArrs is free. If it saved you time, star it on GitHub, sponsor it or buy me a coffee.
