- Stash supports a wide variety of both video and image formats.
- You can tag videos and find them later.
- Stash provides statistics about performers, tags, studios and more.
You can watch a SFW demo video to see it in action.
For further information you can read the in-app manual.
Run the executable (double click the exe on windows or run ./stash-osx / ./stash-linux from the terminal on macOS / Linux) to get started.
Note for Windows users: Running the app might present a security prompt since the binary isn't yet signed. Bypass this by clicking "more info" and then the "run anyway" button.
Stash requires ffmpeg. If you don't have it installed, Stash will download a copy for you. It is recommended that Linux users install ffmpeg from their distro's package manager.
Download and run Stash. It will prompt you for some configuration options and a directory to index (you can also do this step afterward)
If you'd like to automatically retrieve and organize information about your entire library, You will need to download some scrapers. The Stash community has developed scrapers for many popular data sources which can be downloaded and installed from this repository.
The simplest way to tag a large number of files is by using the Tagger which uses filename keywords to help identify the file and pull in scene and performer information from our stash-box database. Note that this data source is not comprehensive and you may need to use the scrapers to identify some of your media.
Stash is available in 10 languages (so far!) and it could be in your language too. If you want to help us translate Stash into your language, you can make an account at translate.stashapp.cc to get started contributing new languages or improving existing ones. Thanks!
