We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

I wrote my own software to organize and search my media files (alien.top)

I recently started learning how to edit videos and decided to write my own desktop app to organize my videos and images (only available for Mac right now). The app is called Cosmos and you can use it to browse, tag, and search your media with AI. It's completely private, so no data ever leaves your computer.

I showed it to other video editors but their reaction was pretty underwhelming. I'm curious if people in this sub might have a use case for the app. Not sure how often you are searching through large media libraries, but I imagine this would be a good tool to help find stuff you don't want to manually label.

If there are any interested testers out there, I'd be happy to offer a discount (it is currently a one-time $40). For a short overview of the features, you can check out this YT video.

You might want to checkout Stash. Obviously it's for a different genre of content but your tagging/filtering shares some similarities. But your automatic/AI video "tagging" is amazing and something that Stash is lacking.

I've heard of Stash. I'll take a closer look. Do people use it for other kinds of content?

I don't think so but I also don't see why it couldn't be.
