I am continually working on the software and try to put out a new release every Wednesday by 8pm EST. The program is in python, so you can also run it straight from the source code. Executable releases are available for Windows, Linux, and macOS. Everything is free and privacy is the first concern. Advanced users can share tags and files anonymously through custom servers that any user may run. It browses with tags instead of folders, a little like a booru on your desktop. You can also 'subscribe' to these which tells Hydrus to fetch the latest content every so often.The hydrus network client is an application written for Anon and other internet-fluent media nerds who have large image/swf/webm collections. It's also an image scraper tool that works with imgur, boorus, tumblr, 4chan/8chan and more. You can download the PTR via IPFS if you wish, and even outdated versions will suffice. This will download the file from anyone who has it (or its blocks) pinned, whether they are using Hydrus or not. For example, you can tell Hydrus to download the multihash QmP6BNvWfkNf74bY3q1ohtDZ9gAmss4LAjuFhqpDPQNm1S. Hydrus can connect to an IPFS daemon to send and receive files.

Most of the PTR mappings were automatically generated from booru tags. You can also contribute to the PTR with your own mappings, but please follow the Public Tag Schema. There is a Public Tag Repository you can sync with to auto-tag anything represented in its 100+ million mappings. Some people have even imported their music collection.

However, there is no reason why you cannot use Hydrus to organize most of your multimedia library.

This is a great solution for 'loose' files which cannot be easily categorized in one place. Hydrus solves this dilemma with tags and tag parents. For a hierarchical structure breaks down when a file belongs in two places at once. Just as you cannot fit the universe into narrow categories, you cannot fitįiles into narrow folders and expect to get a wholly descriptive result. The software is licensed under the WTFPL, Version 2. Hydrus Network is a free file-organization application for Linux, Windows and MacOS.
