About SABnzbd

SABnzbd is a free and open-source binary newsreader (Python) that downloads, verifies, repairs and unpacks Usenet NZB files automatically, managed from its responsive Glitter web interface on Windows, macOS, Unix and NAS devices (sabnzbd.org). It integrates with Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr and similar tools, and supports RSS, custom scripts and notifications. Distribution covers third-party Docker images (LinuxServer.io — the team does not publish an official image) and an AUR package; third-party mobile apps can manage it (nzb360 for Android, Sable for iOS, both named on the official site).
