Keep Your Media In Your...Pocket v1.0
What is Pocket?
Pocket is a self-hosted, local-first video media manager — a private, offline-capable alternative to cloud media services that actually respects your library.
You point it at your video folders. It scans them, fingerprints every file, automatically identifies content against StashDB and ThePornDB, pulls down performers, studios, tags, and cover art, and presents everything in a clean, dark, fast web UI running entirely on your own hardware.
What can it do right now?
Library Management
Recursively scan one or more library folders, with a toggle for auto-scan on startup
Detect newly added or missing files automatically
Assign folders as Adult or Mainstream content — switch modes from the dashboard
Automatic Identification
Match scenes against StashDB and ThePornDB with a single click
Pull down performers (with aliases and images), studios, and tags automatically
Manual lookup with a confidence indicator when auto-match needs a nudge
Re-identify any individual video from its detail page at any time
Mainstream Content (Movies & TV Shows)
Dedicated Movies and TV Shows libraries with TMDB identification — requires an API key from TMDB
Per-episode progress tracking and auto-advance at episode end
Resume playback across sessions — picks up exactly where you left off
"Continue Watching" rows on the dashboard and Mainstream home screen
Note: Official packaged builds (including the bundled FFmpeg and the native Windows tray build) are currently Windows-only.
Discovery & Browsing
OmniSearch — one keyboard shortcut searches videos, performers, studios, movies, and TV shows at once
Collections — build and manage manual playlists
Watch history with resume timestamps
Filter and sort by performers, studios, tags, rating, duration, and more
Media Generation
FFmpeg-powered thumbnails — sprite sheets and preview stills generated locally
Bundled FFmpeg on Windows — no setup required, extracted automatically on first launch
Parallel thumbnail extraction for fast generation across large libraries
Metadata Management
Full Performer, Studio, and Tag CRUD — images, aliases, descriptions
Bulk video editing — apply metadata changes across selections at once
Library health review — per-video flags for missing thumbnails, unidentified content, and absent files
Experience
Onboarding wizard — guides a new user from zero to a scanned library in under two minutes
System tray on Windows, macOS, and Linux — minimise and keep it running in the background
Clean dark UI built with React 18 + Vite — fast, responsive, keyboard-navigable
Activity log — live task monitor with status, timing, and cancel support
Keyboard shortcuts reference built in
Thank you to such an awesome community for your continued support. I hope to make more apps like Pocket, Vexxx, and others as well as continue making plugins for the Stash community.
