<h1 id="clarity-tagflow">Clarity TagFlow</h1>The intelligent, local-first image tagging and AI dataset curation powerhouse — now rewritten in Rust.download the NEWEST BUILD 5.3.2 at GitHub <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/nova67234/Clarity-TagFlow">HERE</a> new: Lora's thumbnails are now automatically downloaded and FILTERED!downloader will get an update to support Anima tagsClarity TagFlow is a modern desktop application designed to streamline the process of tagging images for Machine Learning datasets, Stable Diffusion training, and digital asset management. Built with a strict focus on privacy, speed, and optimization, it runs state-of-the-art AI models entirely on your local machine.🚀 Project Status: The Rust rewrite is here! The Grand Blueprint became reality — Clarity TagFlow is now a fully native application. No JVM, no 2 GB heap, no garbage collection pauses. Just one small, blazing-fast binary built from ~22,000 lines of pure Rust.💬 We Need Your Feedback! Do you miss an old feature that hasn't been ported yet? Is there something you don't like, or an improvement you're dying to see? Leave a comment and let us know!<hr /><h2 id="system-requirements">🛠️ System Requirements</h2><ul><li>OS: Windows (Inno Setup installer), macOS (.dmg, Apple Silicon), Linux (.tar.gz)</li><li>Runtime: None! Native binary — no Java, no JVM, nothing to install first</li><li>Install size: A few tens of MB (down from 300–400 MB)</li><li>Startup: Near-instant, with a skippable animated splash screen</li><li>Optional: VLC for video playback (the app runs fine without it and will politely offer an install link)</li></ul><hr /><h2 id="key-features">🌟 Key Features</h2><h3 id="local-ai-powerhouse">🤖 Local AI Powerhouse</h3><ul><li>Privacy First: No images or data are ever uploaded to the cloud. All processing happens 100% offline.</li><li>Multi-Model Support: Seamlessly switch between JoyTag, PixAI v0.9, and the WD14 v3 family (ConvNext, SwinV2, Eva02) — now with a built-in Model Manager that downloads models with progress bars and auto-discovers ones you already have.</li><li>Smart Thresholding: Fine-tune confidence thresholds to control exactly how strict the AI is when applying tags.</li><li>Buttery-Smooth Inference: ONNX Runtime ships with the app and runs at Level-3 graph optimization on a background thread — the UI never stutters while tagging.</li></ul><h3 id="ai-creative-suite-(new)">🎨 AI Creative Suite (NEW)</h3><ul><li>In-App Image Generation: The app installs and manages its own ComfyUI backend, downloads GGUF-quantized Flux.1 and Z-Image Turbo models, and gives you full prompt/steps/guidance/seed controls with live logs — zero manual setup.</li><li>AI Background Removal: Right-click → Remove Background. BiRefNet computes a saliency matte and saves a transparent PNG next to the original.</li><li>Pixal3D — Image to 3D: Turn a single image into a textured GLB 3D model and inspect it in the built-in 3D viewer (orbit, zoom, PBR lighting).</li><li>Spatial Scene: An Apple-Photos-style depth parallax effect — Depth Anything V2 estimates depth, and your photo subtly shifts in 3D as you move the mouse.</li></ul><h3 id="pro-image-support-(new)">📷 Pro Image Support (NEW)</h3><ul><li>Camera RAW: Full pure-Rust develop pipeline for DNG, Sony ARW, Canon CR2, and Nikon NEF — colors matched against the camera's embedded preview.</li><li>Radiance HDR with tone mapping, plus PNG, JPEG, GIF, BMP, WebP, ICO, TIFF, AVIF, and HEIC — all decoded in pure Rust, identical on every OS, no codec DLLs.</li><li>SD Metadata Done Right: A real parser for A1111, ComfyUI, and Civitai generation data — found in any container (PNG, JPEG, WebP, AVIF), not just PNG text chunks.</li></ul><h3 id="accelerated-workflow">⚡ Accelerated Workflow</h3><ul><li>Batch Processing: Auto-tag entire folders of images in minutes. Choose to Append new tags or Overwrite existing ones completely.</li><li>Smart Autocomplete: Type faster with a context-aware autocomplete system that learns from your current dataset and standard tag libraries.</li><li>Sidecar Compatibility: Reads and writes standard .txt sidecar files, ensuring seamless compatibility with Kohya_ss, OneTrainer, and other major training tools.</li><li>Deep Scan ("Find Issues"): Decode-verify every image to catch corruption, and find exact duplicates via SHA-256 — with one-click cleanup.</li><li>Smarter Booru Downloader: The Gelbooru downloader now writes tag-role sidecars (artist/character/copyright/general), with blacklist support, dedup logging, and built-in good-citizen rate limiting.</li></ul><h3 id="modern-experience">🎨 Modern Experience</h3><ul><li>GPU-Rendered UI: The entire interface is drawn on the GPU — scrolling a wall of 10,000 thumbnails is fundamentally smoother than ever before.</li><li>Gallery Layout: A gorgeous Pinterest-style masonry grid with lazy thumbnail loading, a click-to-open detail popup, and a floating draggable search pill.</li><li>5 Themes, 3 Brand New: Including Space (animated starfield), Aurora (drifting pastel blobs), and Glass (frosted translucent panels).</li><li>Visual Feedback: The AI status orb got a full rewrite — a 3D particle sphere that breathes while thinking and morphs through shapes during long jobs.</li><li>Polish Everywhere: Color emoji, full CJK font fallback (no more tofu), movable popups that remember their position, HD thumbnails for high-DPI displays, live CPU/RAM graphs, and a crop tool.</li></ul><h3 id="control-and-safety">🛡️ Control &amp; Safety</h3><ul><li>Global Blacklist: Automatically filter out unwanted tags across your entire dataset.</li><li>Session Memory: Newly added AI tags are highlighted in Cyan, making it incredibly easy to review changes before committing to a save.</li><li>Hardened Backups: AES-256 encrypted zips with pre-flight corruption checks, dated filenames, and live progress.</li><li>Encrypted Secrets: Civitai API keys, Hugging Face tokens, and rate-limit counters are all stored DPAPI-encrypted on Windows.</li><li>Crash Containment: Background workers are panic-isolated — a failure shows a clean error message instead of killing the app.</li></ul><hr /><h2 id="what's-new-and-improved">🚀 What's New &amp; Improved</h2><ul><li>Native Rust Core: No JVM, no GC pauses, no pre-allocated heap. Typical memory use is a few hundred MB with explicitly bounded caches.</li><li>Dual Image Cache: Separate browser and viewer caches with decode-permit gating, so opening a huge image never starves thumbnail loading.</li><li>Civitai Integration, Leveled Up: Resolve models, LoRAs, LyCORIS, VAEs, and embeddings by version ID, hash, or name — with preview cards, trigger words, and a live online indicator.</li><li>Cross-Platform CI Releases: Every release tag automatically builds a Windows installer, macOS .dmg, and Linux tarball.</li><li>Video Quality of Life: Off-thread poster frames, loop playback, pure-Rust MP4/MOV metadata reading, and VLC is now fully optional.</li></ul><hr /><h2 id="not-yet-ported-from-the-java-version">⚠️ Not Yet Ported from the Java Version</h2>We're being honest — a few terminus2 features haven't made the jump yet.
