So, I might be losing my mind here, because digging through the megathreads, fmhy and Awesome-Jellyfin hasn't turned up anything like what I'm looking for, but I could swear I read about an *arr tool once before that would watch a download folder for files, and create properly named symlinks to the file in your library folder. Looking around, the closest I've found is Fixarr, but that's definitely not it. I'm super confused. Is my memory just playing tricks on me?

Edit: It was just Radarr and Sonarr I was thinking of. Thank for your help, everyone.

Isn't this exactly what radarr, sonarr, lidarr do when set up for hardlinks and atomic moves?

Or do you mean you already have files and want to replace them with hardlinks?
