What is Radarr?

Radarr's 7.0 pre-release line now shows every audio and subtitle stream per file.

Radarr's 7.0 pre-release line is on its third build. 7.0.0 moved the app to .NET 10 and added OIDC login, PEM certificates and Trakt Smart List imports, and 7.0.1 lists every audio and subtitle stream per file. 7.0.2 adds Happy Eyeballs connection handling, custom ntfy headers, qBittorrent single-file imports from the root path, and stops logging the Postgres password during migration. The main branch is still on 6.4.4.

What is Softr?

Softr's AI App Builder generates the database, roles, workflows and frontend from one prompt.

Softr is a no-code app builder that has spent the autumn building its own database and AI hooks. On 10 November it launched an AI App Builder: a user describes the app, and Softr generates the database, user roles and permissions, workflows, integrations and a fully custom frontend. It follows October's Migrate from Airtable flow, record grouping, credit usage history, in-app notifications and official connectors in Claude and ChatGPT.

Radarr vs Softr: editorial side-by-side

5.0

Radarr's 7.0 pre-release line now shows every audio and subtitle stream per file.

◆ Current state

Radarr's 7.0 pre-release line is on its third build. 7.0.0 moved the app to .NET 10 and added OIDC login, PEM certificates and Trakt Smart List imports, and 7.0.1 lists every audio and subtitle stream per file. 7.0.2 adds Happy Eyeballs connection handling, custom ntfy headers, qBittorrent single-file imports from the root path, and stops logging the Postgres password during migration. The main branch is still on 6.4.4.

◆ Where it's heading

The 7.0 cycle pairs a platform upgrade with deeper file-level detail: media info, import diagnostics and download-client labels. The media info migration was split into batches to avoid running out of memory, which shows the team is hardening the upgrade path for large libraries before a stable release.

◆ Prediction

More 7.0.x pre-release builds with import and media info fixes are likely before 7.0 reaches the main branch; the entries do not show a date for that promotion.

7.5

Softr's AI App Builder generates the database, roles, workflows and frontend from one prompt.

◆ Current state

Softr is a no-code app builder that has spent the autumn building its own database and AI hooks. On 10 November it launched an AI App Builder: a user describes the app, and Softr generates the database, user roles and permissions, workflows, integrations and a fully custom frontend. It follows October's Migrate from Airtable flow, record grouping, credit usage history, in-app notifications and official connectors in Claude and ChatGPT.

◆ Where it's heading

Softr is moving from assembling apps out of blocks on someone else's data to generating whole systems on its own stack. The Airtable migration put the data in Softr Database, and the AI builder now produces everything above it, including a frontend that is no longer limited to preset blocks. The September MCP drops and October connectors point the same way: Softr apps that AI tools can build and use.

◆ Prediction

Follow-up releases are likely to let users edit the generated app with prompts and to tie AI building to workflow credits; the single entry gives no detail on pricing or limits.
