Keep Your Media In Your...Pocket v1.0 (Patreon)

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.
