Stag
A private reference library that stays on your machine.
Behind the build
Stag is a local-first desktop application for organizing creative reference files, inspiration, and media assets in one searchable workspace. Built with Electron, Stag helps designers, artists, collectors, and creative teams manage images, videos, documents, design files, and web downloads without depending on cloud storage. It combines fast local browsing, rich metadata, thumbnail previews, tagging, folders, AI-assisted search, and automation tools to make large reference libraries easier to explore and maintain.
