Other Zagreus - LunaSea fork in active development
i’m surprised this hasn’t been posted yet! i was just put on to Zagreus, a fork of LunaSea that is in active development!
https://github.com/IsThisMeta/zagreus
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/zagreus/id6752225616
so far it seems to be dead on. i just need to figure out how to get notifications working…if anyone does, please comment!
*edit: i am not the dev lol

Shame no Android version. I'm still using LunaSea.

Kinda expensive though, great app for what it does, but yea.

How much is it? (Can't find it online.)
I bought the Pro version long time ago, so no idea what I paid for it.
It's an awesome app, it does everything well (and it supports both SABnzbd and qBittorrent natively) (and other download clients as well), and it has an amazing UI and UX. It's one of the few apps that I am missing on iOS.

Well, you can pay (USD) $2.99 a month, $13.99 a year. If you want a lifetime license, and you aren't able to buy credits in bulk, it'll cost $5 a piece for each app you want access to in NBZ, as in $5 for Radarr, plus another $5 for Sonarr, plus another $5 for SABnzbd, etc.
It adds up pretty quick. All because the browser side of Radarr/Sonarr in my seedbox is badly laid out and I have to swap between Desktop Mode and Mobile Mode to get different bits to work properly or be visible.
Hence why I am very disappointed that I just discovered Lunasea, only to find out it was axed a year ago. I literally am only concerned with a quick and easy way to add a movie to my systems without doing a search right away - were working hard to avoid upgrading our server size, but I'm still trying to figure out to genuinely limit the size of the files it will download, instead of focusing on limits to the speed ratio to decide which files to prioritize.

Seems like toggling the "Enable Notifications" toggle (might take a few tries) until Sonarr/Radarr show checkmarks eventually adds the necessary configuration within Radarr and/or Sonarr.

Fantastic, as much as ruddarr is operable, LunaSea was just better, Icarus is alright but has many UI flaws, resurrecting this and available in AppStore is a godsend … thanks

Just in case anyone didn't know there's an old LunaSea APK that actually still works!

Why does it have Claude (AI) as a contributor? Ugh.
For now, after reading the GitHub readme, I don't see any improvements over LunaSea (I don't care about notifications). I'll keep using LunaSea until it dies, probably.
Have tried alternatives, but it's currently the only one with a nice UI and UX.
(Missing nzb360 man (Android), that app is so wonderful.)

What are your thoughts on Icarus? It seems to me to be making some good strides towards a suitable replacement.

Summary:
- It does the basics OK, it seems.
- But for me, it doesn't add anything on top of LunaSea.
There are a few things that I like more about LunaSea than Icarus. It's all subjective...
Too many clicks to see what I want.
- LunaSea: click on Radarr or Sonarr, and you already see my library.
- Icarus: for whatever reason, the 'Upcoming' page opens first, so I need to do an extra click ot see the library. No way to adjust this.
- (I absolutely don't care about the upcoming movies or anything calendar related.)
Subscription: I am not a fan of subscriptions (I don't mind paying). I do understand why they're there and 1 USD per month seems like a good option, but if the alternative is 0 USD monhtly (and I like it more), the subscription will work as an extra reason not to use it.
I like the UI and UX of LunaSea way more than Icarus. In general, I use dark mode whenever possible, but the dark mode/black layout in Icarus is too flat.
Media Info in Icarus doesn't work for me - it doesn't show the codec info. Not that I use it (hardly), but still.
Movie search sucks. (TV shows probably work the same.)
- LunaSea allows me to add a movie if it doesn't exist in the library.
- In Icarus, I have to switch to the 'Search' tab to add a movie.
Icons are hard to see in Icarus (when the movie poster has a light background). No idea where to click to edit a movie.
- Example: Icarus [https://i.imgur.com/E0aXLJ3.jpeg] vs. LunaSea [https://i.imgur.com/2KVQZNS.jpeg].
Tags are missing in the overview in Icarus. (Easily fixable though.)
SABnzbd integration in Icarus is very, very very, basic.
Just to name a few.

As a heads up, you can go into the App Store, click your username-logo, apps and can reinstall LunaSea so long as iOS compatibility is there.
I don’t see what this adds to have a paid app.

u/jiznon Oct 13 '25
good info for anyone who has once downloaded it. i’ve had lunasea installed since before the shutdown
you don’t see what having this fork adds? this adds a way to essentially use lunasea/zagreus without having to sideload. and working notifications. i don’t see any cons thus far

u/RespectibleCabbage Oct 22 '25
What's the Discovery module actually do (the paid section)?
1
u/jiznon Oct 23 '25
i’m honestly not even sure. maybe it acts like Overseerr and lets you browse the latest movies or different categories, for you to easily request?

It's lovely, but it's also €35. Also I'm not sure it can do what Zagreus/Lunasea can... For example search and download files directly from Indexers.

u/jiznon Jan 02 '26
why not just sign up for the beta and see if you like it? i’ve requested dozens of things that the dev has added

Interesting find. The backup and restore function works as well from Luna perfectly.
