Overview
Spacedrive connects the files, drives, devices and cloud storage you own into one local-first app you can browse and search. The current version is a native Rust rewrite, GPU-rendered and Mac-first, where every photo, file and note is stored as a record on one index. It runs on your own computer, with optional agents you enable to do work across your data.
- Best for
- People whose files are spread across laptops, NAS, phones and cloud storage and want one local index.
- Pricing
- No prices are shown; the site states only that the new version is bought once, with no subscription, cloud or account.
Strengths and trade-offs
Strengths
- Local-first: runs on your machine, no account and no telemetry
- Indexes devices, drives and cloud storage in one library
- Native Rust and GPU-rendered; 129,000 photos scroll at 60fps
- Bought once rather than by subscription
Trade-offs
- New native app is Mac-first; the site says a demo is still coming
- Site admits the product has not yet caught up to the description
- No cloud or account, so nothing syncs or backs up off the machine
- Open-source Spacedrive is a separate project from the paid app
