Movie Vault is a desktop application designed to help you manage and organize your personal movie and TV show collection. It automatically scans specified directories for media files, fetches comprehensive metadata from IMDb, and stores everything in a local SQLite database. The app provides a clean, intuitive interface to browse, filter, search, and manage your media library with features like tagging, infinite scrolling, and real-time file watching.

In today's digital age, many people maintain large personal collections of movies and TV shows stored on their local drives. However, organizing and cataloging these collections can be challenging without proper tools. Movie Vault addresses this need by:

• Automating Metadata Fetching: Automatically retrieves detailed information from IMDb, including plot summaries, cast, ratings, genres, and more.
• Local Storage: Everything is stored locally in a SQLite database - no cloud dependency or subscription required.
• Real-time Syncing: Monitors your media directories for changes and updates the library automatically.
• User-Friendly Interface: Provides a modern, responsive UI for easy browsing and management.
• Cross-Platform: Built with Tauri, runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
• Privacy-Focused: All data remains on your device.
