First-run onboarding, step by step
The very first time you open OrgoMedia on your Mac, a guided onboarding walks you through everything below. You can finish it in a couple of minutes, and you can skip any step and come back later.
1
Welcome & what you want. Tell OrgoMedia whether you’re here to organize files you already have, build a request-to-library pipeline, or both. This just tailors which later steps appear.
2
Pick your destination folders. Choose where renamed Movies, TV, and Anime should live. macOS will ask permission to access those folders. That’s expected and required (see the note below).
3
Express setup scan. OrgoMedia looks for Radarr, Sonarr, and Prowlarr already running on your Mac and offers to connect them automatically. Your client stays configured inside Radarr and Sonarr, so there’s nothing to connect here. If you have no *arr apps at all, skip it: that’s standalone mode.
4
Connect Plex or Jellyfin (optional). One tap signs you in with Plex’s official PIN login, finds your server, and lists your libraries so the app can map them.
5
Quality preset (optional). If you connected Radarr/Sonarr, pick a quality tier (HD, UHD, or Anime) and OrgoMedia applies community-recommended settings in one click.
6
Choose a naming style. Start from a built-in preset (Media Server or Simple & Clean). You can fine-tune templates later; the defaults already match what Plex expects.
7
Sign in & pick a plan. Start free, with no rename limit and no credit card, and upgrade when you want OrgoMedia on your iPhone or your household on it too.
8
Drop your first files. Onboarding ends by inviting you to drag in a few files and watch them get cleaned up, so you see the result immediately.
Before you begin
Want the full request-to-library pipeline? Make sure Radarr and Sonarr each have a working client set up in their own settings. OrgoMedia reads progress from Radarr and Sonarr, so if they can’t reach it, neither can OrgoMedia. Just renaming files you already have? None of this applies to you.
Folder permission prompts are normal
Because OrgoMedia is sandboxed for the App Store, macOS asks your permission before the app can touch a folder. If you ever pick a folder outside your home directory and files aren’t being seen, grant access in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access. This is macOS protecting you, not a bug.
