Adds a full discovery and organisation layer to the gallery.
## AI Tagger
- WD tagger (ONNX via ort) with DirectML/CPU acceleration
- Per-image and per-folder tag queuing; configurable batch size and
confidence threshold; model downloaded on first use via ureq/zip
- Tags stored with source ('ai' | 'user'); user tags are never
overwritten by AI; AI tags protected from accidental promotion
- Tagger pause/resume per folder; in-flight batches discarded cleanly
on pause or cancellation without leaving jobs stuck in processing
## Semantic & Tag Search
- CLIP text-query embedding via candle (HuggingFace hub model)
- Progressive candidate doubling with filter post-processing so
folder/rating/media-kind filters do not silently under-return results
- Tag search with DB-backed pagination (offset + COUNT total)
- Filename search unchanged; prefix syntax: s:, t:, f: in search bar
## Similarity Search
- HNSW in-memory index (hnsw_rs) with monotonic embedding_revision
counter for cache invalidation; build_index retries if a concurrent
write advances the revision during construction
- Folder-scoped similar search uses brute-force cosine scan (no k limit)
- Region-based similarity: crop an arbitrary rectangle in the lightbox,
embed it with CLIP, find the nearest images globally or within folder
- Pagination for both similar and region results; scope toggle
(all media / current folder) re-runs the query without reopening image
## Duplicate Finder
- Three-phase detection: stat (size) → sample hash (4×16 KB windows)
→ full-file hash (xxh3, large files only) to eliminate false positives
- Filesystem-first deletion: only removes DB rows for files successfully
deleted from disk; failed files remain visible for retry
- Persisted scan cache (SQLite) with invalidation on reindex and deletion;
both global and per-folder scopes invalidated after any deletion
## Tag Cloud & Explore
- Visual cluster explore: k-means over CLIP embeddings, configurable k,
representative thumbnail per cluster; cache keyed on xxh3 of embedding set
- Tag explore: ranked tag list with image counts and representative
thumbnail per tag; invalidated when AI tagging completes or folder removed
- Tag autocomplete for search bar
## Folder Management
- Inline rename (display name only, not OS rename)
- Relocate: file-picker to update folder path; all image paths rewritten
using SUBSTR prefix replacement to avoid corrupting paths that contain
the folder name as a substring
- Missing-folder recovery banner: Locate or Remove, never silent deletion
- Right-click context menu on sidebar items: Reindex, Rename, Locate,
Remove; hover buttons preserved alongside context menu
## Background Tasks
- Per-folder progress panel with embedding, tagging, caption, and
thumbnail stage breakdown
- Retry button per task for failed embeddings and tagging jobs
- Completed-task notifications (system tray via tauri-plugin-notification)
- Scan errors shown inline; WalkDir permission errors protect existing
records from deletion rather than cascading data loss
## Backend correctness
- sqlite-vec DML performed outside transactions throughout (virtual-table
limitation); embedding revision incremented on delete as well as insert
- Tagging job discard checks status = 'processing' so paused jobs reset
to 'pending' are also skipped, not just cancelled ones
- Stale async responses in Lightbox guarded with cancellation flags and
currentImageIdRef for both tag-load and tag-add callbacks
- Duplicate cache cleared on reindex; folder-removal clears vector rows
outside transaction before deleting the folder row

# 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.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
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.
