LyAhn 04ade3d5d6 fix: address 3 P2 review issues from PR #8 round 5
captioner: set_caption_detail now marks CAPTION_SESSION_DIRTY so the
cached FlorenceCaptioner session is torn down and rebuilt with the new
prompt and token limit; previously only the file was updated on disk

db: reset_generated_captions now cancels in-flight caption jobs instead
of deleting them; the worker checks for a cancelled row before writing
back, so deleting the row allowed results to be written immediately after
a reset — now mirrors the clear_caption_jobs cancellation protocol

BackgroundTasks: caption_pending/ready/failed counts are now included in
pendingMediaWork, task stages, hasFailed checks, and the dismiss snapshot;
previously a folder with only caption work caused the panel to disappear
entirely and exposed no caption progress or failure status

Phokus

A local-first desktop media library for browsing, filtering, and curating image and video folders.

Features

  • Add and remove media folders; background indexing with live progress
  • Browse all media or filter by folder, type (image/video), favorites, or star rating
  • Filename search, semantic search (/s query), and tag search (/t tag)
  • Similar image search — find visually similar media by image or selected region
  • AI tagging via WD tagger (ONNX, CPU/DirectML) with confidence threshold control
  • Explore view — visual cluster map and tag cloud for browsing by theme
  • Duplicate finder — scan for exact duplicates by file hash with bulk delete
  • Lightbox preview with keyboard navigation, inline tag editing, and rating controls
  • Sort by date, name, size, rating, or duration
  • Grid density controls (compact / comfortable / detail)

Supported formats

Images Videos
jpg, jpeg, png, gif, bmp mp4, mov, m4v
tiff, tif, webp, avif, heic, heif webm

Stack

  • Tauri 2 + Rust backend
  • React 19 + TypeScript + Zustand
  • SQLite + sqlite-vec (vector search)
  • ONNX Runtime (ort) for AI tagging
  • Candle (Rust ML) for visual embeddings
  • FFmpeg sidecar for video thumbnails and metadata
  • Vite + Tailwind CSS v4

Development

Prerequisites: Node.js 20+, pnpm, Rust toolchain, Tauri system prerequisites for Windows.

pnpm install

# Run with hot-reload (frontend + Rust)
pnpm dev:app

# Frontend only
pnpm dev:vite

# Production build
pnpm build:app

How it works

  1. Add a folder from the sidebar — the Rust indexer walks it recursively.
  2. Supported files are written to SQLite with metadata (path, dimensions, media type, etc.).
  3. Background workers generate thumbnails, compute visual embeddings, and run AI tagging.
  4. Progress events stream back to the UI while the gallery updates incrementally.
  5. Embeddings power semantic search and the similar images feature via an HNSW index.
