Damask

Damask is a digital asset manager for designers, photographers, and creative studios.

Projects, folders & tags

Organise assets into projects with nested folders and workspace-scoped tags. Multi-select filtering, bulk actions, and full-text search across filenames, tags, and custom metadata fields.

📋

Custom metadata fields

Define your own fields - client name, usage rights expiry, approval status, photographer credit. Six types including date, select, and boolean. Filter your library by any field value.

🕰

Version history & audit log

Every file version is preserved. Roll back non-destructively with one click. A complete activity log tracks who changed what, when, and why - across files, fields, tags, and shares.

🔄

Transforms & variants

Resize, convert, crop, remove backgrounds, and watermark assets directly inside Damask. Transformed files are stored as linked variants - your originals are never touched.

🔗

Client delivery & sharing

Send password-protected, expiring share links to clients. Clients can browse, comment on individual assets, and download - no account required on their end.

📥

Automatic ingestion

Connect sources and let files flow in on a schedule. Supports a personal ingest email address, IMAP mailboxes, SFTP servers, WebDAV/Nextcloud collections, and S3-compatible buckets.

🏠

Local-first, remote-optional

Damask runs entirely on your machine with zero cloud dependency. Connect to remote storage - S3, R2, MinIO - when you need it. Your data never touches a server you don't control.

🔓

Open source & self-hostable

Apache-2 licensed. Ships as a single Go binary with no runtime dependencies. SQLite database - no Postgres, no Redis, no infrastructure to manage. Self-host in minutes.

👥

Multi-workspace & team-ready

Full multi-tenancy from day one. Invite collaborators with role-based access. Each workspace is fully isolated with its own projects, fields, and share links.
