Or don't.
Point Q8 at a folder and walk away. Each kind follows the rules you set once: converted, covered, named and filed, overnight if you like.
- Watch folders. New files are picked up as they arrive.
- Set once per kind. Movies, TV Shows, Music and the rest each keep their own settings.
- Tidy endings. Originals can go to the Trash once the new file is safely in place, never deleted outright.

Gallery
Your private collection of art.
Keep the artwork you love in albums of your own: posters, covers, stills, and the things you make yourself. Rate it, credit who made it, and find anything by the words printed on it.
- Search the art itself. Q8 reads the text on every picture, on your Mac, in many languages.
- Credit the creator. A name in the file stays with it. Add your own where there is none.
- Crop and resize. Make a portrait, landscape or square version and keep the original.
- Find more. Look up a film, show, album or audiobook and bring its artwork into an album.

Sharing
Made by people. Shared with care.
Great artwork is made by people: designers, fans, photographers. Q8 keeps their names with their work and makes it easy to pass the good things on.
Share
Send any picture from your Gallery with the share menu you already know: Messages, Mail or AirDrop.
Credit where it's due
Every picture shows where it came from. A creator's credit in the file travels with the image and can't be overwritten.
Community Coming later
Albums you can share with other collectors, and a place to show what you've made.
Private by design
Your Mac. Your files.
Q8 has no account and no tracking. Your media is converted on your Mac and is never uploaded.
- Only lookups leave your Mac. A title, a year or a catalogue number, never the file.
- Your keys stay yours. API keys you add are kept on your Mac.
- No lock-in. Everything Q8 makes is a standard file, in a folder or app you choose.
Thanks
