Reaper: A Safer Plex Cleanup Tool
An open-source Plex library cleaner that identifies unwatched media and routes only approved removals through Sonarr and Radarr.
Why it surfaced

Its copy treats library cleanup as a potentially serious operation rather than a button to press and hope for the best.
