DiskShelf
Your disks on one shelf — mounted or in the vault
Media Cataloger is now DiskShelf
Same catalog, new name. Any license request, and any license already emailed (0.2 beta), still opens DiskShelf — Mac (Swift + nmcui) and the Go build on Windows / Linux. Public 0.0.1 zips stay on Media Cataloger until a DiskShelf zip ships.
DiskShelf lists your disks in a local catalog. Once a volume is indexed, you browse its tree, search files, and see what uses space — even when the disk is unplugged. Not a DAM, not iTunes, not an EXIF editor: a shelf.
On macOS, two apps, one engine: Swift + nmcd (native) and nmcui (Go / Fyne). On Windows and Linux, the Go build. One license opens all three.

Frequently Asked Questions
DiskShelf or Media Cataloger?
One product. DiskShelf is the name. Media Cataloger is the public 0.0.1 zip shelf (Mac Intel, Windows, Linux) until a DiskShelf zip exists. You are not buying two apps.
I already have a Media Cataloger license (0.2 beta by email)?
Yes. Licenses already sent and any new request open DiskShelf. Same license file. A March buyer is not left out.
Does this cover Windows and Linux, or only the Swift Mac app?
Both. The license is for the Go build (nmcui) on Windows, Linux, and Mac — not only the Swift macOS app. Go 0.0.1 zips are still on Media Cataloger.
Two Mac apps?
Yes: Swift + nmcd (native) and nmcui (Go / Fyne). Same engine, same license.
Is it open source?
Some parts. DiskShelf is a Noematic desktop app.
Does it need the internet?
Not to catalog, search, or find duplicates. Everything stays on your machine.
