Hydrus
a file manager


The hydrus client is an application written for Anon and other internet-fluent media nerds who have large image/swf/webm collections.
It browses with tags instead of folders, a little like a booru on your desktop.
Advanced users can share tags and files anonymously through custom servers that any user may run.
Privacy is the first concern and the program is content neutral though scew towards Imageboards/Boorus/2D/Porn/Meme's cause of its already supported parsers.


Import your local files or download from a wide selection of sites (tags included).
Tag your files, tag them with as many tags you want, make them easy to find again.
Form your collection/library and keep the best of the best.

Hydrus has a great many features to help the power user with their image/clip collection.
Real Duplicate files will not happen (matching hashes).
Find dupes (different hashes) with ease on images.
You could download an entire booru with Hydrus if you want too (like Gelbooru, Danbooru, Sankaku, Rule34 or whatever)

HyDev pushes out update every





HyDev is also available at other places noted in the contacts page in the docs.
The Dev visists the Hydrus Discord twice a week, every Wednesday and Saturday. (Normally late CET)

If you have any questions about Hydrus or just want to share your opinion on it then please do it here or on Discord.
Will try to keep up with this thread if it sees activity!

I want to autotag using R34 sites thousands of pictures, is this possible? Is there a simple guide that any shrimp can comprehend?

The built in download system pulls tags from most booru style sites or any other site it has parsers for, users can make their own parsers easily aswell!
R34 is obviously among them and by default it should download tags on its own by the gallery download tab or url download tab.
Please note that the tags needs to be on the site for them to be pulled, there is no AI or anything to auto-tag it seamlessly. There is also the Public Tag Repo which contains most tags for most files on the common imageboards.
