Private, on-device, always undoable. Terminus is the private librarian for your photos. It sorts, checks and protects your whole library on your own computer: no account, no uploads, no subscription. Point it at a folder and Terminus decides where every photo belongs. Every move is journaled, so any change can be undone, and nothing is ever deleted behind your back. WHAT YOU GET * Smart sorting: organise a folder by focus, exposure, near-duplicates, or rules you write in plain English * Memories: photos from your past, each with its own music, and a movie one click away * Integrity audit and duplicate finder: problem files are quarantined, never deleted * Edit with AI: run it on this computer, or through a provider you choose * Share with your other devices directly: end-to-end encrypted, no account needed * Works with or without a model: a local model, or classic computer vision when you would rather skip the model PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your photos stay on your computer. Nothing leaves it unless you switch it on, and the cloud route is opt-in. Terminus is confined as a strict snap. It can reach your home folder and external drives, and you choose what else to connect. To read a library on an external drive, connect it once: sudo snap connect terminvs:removable-media Questions or feedback: terminus@eschon.io ### Package name * terminvs --- ### License * Proprietary --- ### Last updated * Today - latest/beta --- ### Websites * [eschon.io](https://eschon.io/terminus "https://eschon.io/terminus") --- ### Source code * [github.com/kh3rld/terminus](https://github.com/kh3rld/terminus "https://github.com/kh3rld/terminus") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/kh3rld/terminus/issues](https://github.com/kh3rld/terminus/issues "https://github.com/kh3rld/terminus/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/terminvs/arch#report-snap-modal) --- [See more information about terminvs ›](https://snapcraft.io/terminvs) ## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install Terminus Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/) The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites) installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following: ``` git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git cd snapd makepkg -si ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install Terminus To install Terminus, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install terminvs --beta ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
