Your files are scattered across devices, cloud accounts, and external drives. Spacedrive unifies them into a single, breathtakingly fast library, no matter where they are. It's a file manager from the future, built on a Virtual Distributed File System (VDFS) and made infinitely powerful by a sandboxed WASM extension system.

Browse, search, and organize everything from one place. Device boundaries disappear.

Core Features

Spacedrive is built on a set of foundational pillars designed for performance, privacy, and scalability. The entire core is implemented in Rust, with a clean architecture based on CQRS and Domain-Driven Design principles.

1. The Virtual Distributed File System (VDFS)

The VDFS is the heart of Spacedrive. It creates a unified namespace for all your data using a universal addressing system called SdPath. It doesn't matter if a file is on C:\Users\... or ~/Documents—Spacedrive gives it a stable, virtual address, allowing you to interact with it from any connected device.

2. AI-Powered Semantic Search

Go beyond filename matching. Spacedrive's search engine indexes the content of your documents, images, and media. Find files with natural language queries like "tax documents from last year" or "sunset photos from my Hawaii vacation." It combines full-text search, semantic re-ranking, and vector search to deliver instant, intelligent results.

3. Leaderless, Offline-First Sync

Spacedrive uses a novel, leaderless synchronization model that makes it faster and more resilient than traditional cloud services. Changes are efficiently transferred directly between your devices using the Iroh P2P networking library. It works perfectly offline, and your data is never stored on a central server unless you want it to be.

4. Transactional, Verifiable Actions

All file operations (copy, move, delete) are treated as resumable, transactional jobs. You can preview the outcome of an operation before it executes, preventing errors. The system guarantees that operations will eventually complete, even if a device goes offline midway through a transfer.

Flagship Extensions

The true power of Spacedrive is realized through its extension system. These powerful add-ons can deeply integrate with the VDFS, introducing new data models, AI agents, and UI components.

Data Guardian: An essential utility that monitors the health of your library. It identifies data rot, finds duplicate files, and alerts you to at-risk files (e.g., important documents that only exist on one device), suggesting automated backups.
Chronicle: A complete research and knowledge management assistant. It automatically analyzes documents, extracts key concepts, builds a knowledge graph of your library, and helps you find gaps in your research.
Ledger: Turns your file system into a financial intelligence hub. It finds and parses receipts, invoices, and tax documents, automatically categorizing spending and helping you manage budgets.
Studio: A digital asset manager for creators. It organizes creative projects, versions assets, and adds powerful features like video scene detection, transcript generation, and topic analysis.
Archives (Email, Browser, Spotify): A suite of open-source extensions that import your digital life from other platforms, making your Spacedrive library a truly complete archive of your personal data.

A Powerful SDK for a Limitless Ecosystem

Spacedrive provides a beautiful, comprehensive Rust SDK to create first-class extensions that are indistinguishable from core functionality. Extensions run in a secure WASM sandbox.

The SDK makes it trivial to:

Define Models: Create new database schemas with a simple #[model] macro.
Create Jobs: Define long-running background tasks with #[job].
Build AI: Give your extension a 'mind' with the #[agent] macro, enabling it to react to events in the VDFS.
Add Actions: Expose new capabilities to the user with #[action].
Integrate UIs: Add custom views, sidebar sections, and components to the Spacedrive apps with a simple ui_manifest.json.

Privacy & Security First

Your privacy is paramount. Spacedrive is a local-first application. Your data and metadata live on your devices.

End-to-End Encryption: All network traffic is encrypted using modern protocols.
Encryption-at-Rest: Libraries can be encrypted on disk with SQLCipher, protecting your data if a device is lost or stolen.
No Central Servers: Your files are your own. Optional cloud integration is available for backup and remote access, but it's never required.

Available Everywhere

Access your entire digital life, from anywhere.

Desktop: A powerful desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux serves as your command center.
Mobile: Native apps for iOS and Android provide full functionality on the go.
CLI: A comprehensive command-line interface for power users and server administration.
Web: Access your library from any browser with a self-hosted web interface.
