Many asset types
Images, camera RAW, video, audio, 3D, and text. Preview after import, with built-in image, media, and model viewers.
Highlights
Local-first digital asset management: formats, organization, WebDAV sync, external library import, automation, AI, linked folders, and plugins.
Asset management
Folders map to real disk paths. Tags, ratings, collections, and smart collections stay separate from search, filters, and sort.
Automation
Run scripts to batch-update tags, ratings, and folders. Connect local AI tools over MCP without exposing the library to the internet.
AI analysis
Use your own cloud model to generate tags, descriptions, and reference ratings for images, video, and 3D. Human edits win; AI results can be cleared.
Linked libraries
Import a folder as a link to keep working against the original directory. Source changes refresh previews and metadata without copying files in.
External libraries
Open Eagle or Billfish libraries and convert them into a local Serpent library without changing the original files. Browse, search, tag, and run AI analysis as usual afterward.
Cloud sync
Sync libraries across machines over WebDAV with global server setup, per-library binding, and auto sync. Conflicts are kept as separate copies instead of silent overwrites.
Plugin system
Install plugins from GitHub, a ZIP, or a local folder to add menus, settings, and workflows. Scope them globally or to one library; first enablement requires trust.
