Stash

Stash is a self-hosted web application for organizing and browsing a personal adult media collection. It scans your library, builds a searchable database, and helps you enrich content with consistent metadata.

Key Features

• Library scanning and indexing of local media files
• Metadata management for scenes, performers, studios, tags, and galleries
• Metadata scraping from community/online sources via configurable “scrapers”
• Powerful search and filtering across your library (e.g., tags, performers, studios)
• Automatic generation/management of previews and artwork (e.g., covers/thumbnails)
• Web-based UI for editing metadata, tagging, and dedup/cleanup workflows
• API-first architecture (GraphQL) for integrations and automation
• Plugin system for extending functionality (community plugins available)

Use Cases

• Build a private, searchable catalog of an adult video/image collection
• Normalize metadata and tagging to keep a large library consistent over time
• Integrate with external tools (downloaders, renamers, scripts) via the API

Limitations and Considerations

• Primarily focused on adult media organization; not a general-purpose media server
• Scraping quality and coverage depend on the chosen scraper sources and configuration

Stash is well-suited for users who want robust metadata tooling and fast discovery for a private adult library. Its combination of a web UI, scrapers, and a GraphQL API makes it flexible for both manual curation and automated workflows.
