Prowlarr vs SiYuan
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Prowlarr and SiYuan — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Prowlarr vs SiYuan: at a glance
What is Prowlarr?
Prowlarr 3.0 pre-release moves to .NET 10 and requires Postgres 15
Prowlarr, the indexer manager for the *arr apps, ships patch releases every one to three weeks. The 2.6–2.7 line added Trusted Networks, hostname validation and wildcard IPs in Allowed Hosts. A 3.0.0 pre-release on the develop branch now moves the runtime to .NET 10 and Node 24, raises the minimum Postgres version to 15 and adds reflink support for ZFS.
What is SiYuan?
SiYuan's 3.8.10 alpha reaches 24 items, now with custom PDF sizes and better LAN sync.
SiYuan's 3.8.10 alpha.5 on November 3 lists 24 items, up from 19 in alpha.3. New this time: smarter LAN sync address picking on VPN and multi-interface setups, related database views in entry details, custom PDF page sizes, bottom-sheet dialogs on mobile and apostrophe-safe keyword search. The line already carried workspace-level AI memory, database sub-items, HTTP requests in templates and a built-in Markdown editor.

Prowlarr
5.0COLLAB
Prowlarr 3.0 pre-release moves to .NET 10 and requires Postgres 15
◆ Current state
Prowlarr, the indexer manager for the *arr apps, ships patch releases every one to three weeks. The 2.6–2.7 line added Trusted Networks, hostname validation and wildcard IPs in Allowed Hosts. A 3.0.0 pre-release on the develop branch now moves the runtime to .NET 10 and Node 24, raises the minimum Postgres version to 15 and adds reflink support for ZFS.
◆ Where it's heading
The project is pairing small indexer fixes on the stable branch with a platform refresh on develop. The 3.0 work is mostly runtime and database floor changes rather than new user features, so the jump is about keeping the stack current.
◆ Prediction
Expect further 3.0 pre-releases before a stable 3.0, with Postgres users below version 15 needing to upgrade first; the entries do not show a release date.
SiYuan
5.0COLLAB
SiYuan's 3.8.10 alpha reaches 24 items, now with custom PDF sizes and better LAN sync.
◆ Current state
SiYuan's 3.8.10 alpha.5 on November 3 lists 24 items, up from 19 in alpha.3. New this time: smarter LAN sync address picking on VPN and multi-interface setups, related database views in entry details, custom PDF page sizes, bottom-sheet dialogs on mobile and apostrophe-safe keyword search. The line already carried workspace-level AI memory, database sub-items, HTTP requests in templates and a built-in Markdown editor.
◆ Where it's heading
SiYuan ships alphas every day or two and lets each release list grow until a freeze. The 3.8.10 line spreads across AI agent features, databases and mobile polish, while the desktop Electron process moves to strict TypeScript.
◆ Prediction
Expect more alphas, then a beta series that freezes the 3.8.10 list, as 3.8.9 did with its beta-to-RC run.
