This app lets you add metadata to files, search and match files using that metadata, and perform bulk operations on the results.
The file page is where you add details for individual files. For images, audio, and video files, you can preview them directly in the app. You can disable previews in the settings if you prefer.
The file page with preview and metadata options
Attributes and tags are the core metadata you can attach to files. Use attributes to define values like "rating" or "artist". Tags are simple labels without values. Both are fully searchable.
Adding attributes and tags to a file
The search system supports complex queries. Use the ~ prefix to search filenames and paths. Combine multiple criteria with tags and attribute filters. For example: search for "family" in filenames, tagged with "family photo", with a rating over 5. You can even use brackets for grouping, though they are usually not needed.

Create separate databases for different file types—audio, images, video, or any category that makes sense for your workflow. This keeps your searches focused and relevant.
Managing multiple databases
When importing a directory, you can filter which files get added. There are built-in filters for audio, images, and video. You can also create custom filters using glob patterns, regex, or exact matches.
Configure import filters in database settings
When you import files, they automatically go into the clipboard. You can also copy search results or individual files to the clipboard for bulk operations.
The clipboard holds files for bulk operations
The clipboard becomes powerful with clipboard actions. Search for files matching criteria (like all family photos with rating under 5), then perform bulk operations: delete files, add or modify tags and attributes, or generate playlists.
Bulk operations: delete, add tags, set attributes
One handy feature is generating M3U8 playlists for your music player directly from tagged files.
