Image MetaHub

Hey, Product Hunt community, When the 20-year business I had built shut its doors, I found myself starting over. I began exploring new creative paths, and quickly ran into a problem many digital creators face: my hard drive was drowning in thousands of complex images. Finding a specific image was impossible. I needed a tool that could search the rich metadata embedded within these files, but everything I found was either cloud-based, slow, or didn't respect my privacy. I believe your creative work should stay on your machine. Since the tool I wanted didn't exist, I decided to build it. Image MetaHub is that solution. What makes it different? 100% Local & Private: Your library is yours alone. No uploads, no sign-ups, no tracking. Built for Scale: It’s designed for large collections, indexing over 18,000 images in under 4 minutes in my tests. Powerful Search: Find images by prompt, model, LoRAs, steps, CFG scale, and other parameters from the most common generation tools. Here's what I'm most proud of: I'm an entrepreneur and a product architect, not a coder. I designed the entire system, from the UI to the high-performance caching engine. To bring this vision to life, I leveraged a unique workflow, directing modern tools to write, debug, and execute the code. This app was shipped by a solo founder who has never written a line of code professionally. To be direct, this isn't a side project. It's my full-time effort to build a new foundation and support my family. Every upvote and piece of feedback has a massive impact. You can see more about my journey on my profile. I'll be here all day to answer your questions. Thank you for being part of this rebuild. — Lucas
