An encyclopedia that learns — for every artist, work, and person you care about. It tracks what you own, enriches it, connects it, and lets you write against it. The library that doesn't burn.
A file for every artist, work, and person who ever mattered to you was impossible by hand. It needed something that could write them, connect them, and keep them. The tool waited for its era — and the era arrived.
Point it at your library and it writes rich, sourced entries on the artists, works, and people inside — then keeps enriching them as it goes.
Everything is a living web of links. Follow one artist and their whole world lights up — albums, films, collaborators, cross-references — all at once.
Your media, your notes, your shelves. A private room quiet enough to think out loud in — and brilliant enough to find anything in.
Subscribe to the people and topics you care about and pull a ready-made, richly-connected note instantly — never rewriting what already exists, never carrying what doesn't apply to you. The commons, served to your shelf.
Streaming platforms hold your taste hostage on someone else's servers. Eclectica is the opposite: it lives on your machine, it answers only to you, and it gets richer the more you bring to it.
Privacy here isn't a setting — it's the architecture. The hard line holds even when you run Eclectica on more than one device.
Your media library — what you own, what's on your drives — never leaves. Eclectica never transmits a scan of your possessions. Not to a server, not to your other devices.
What may cross the network is your subscriptions — the people and topics you chose to follow — and the public notes that come back. Interest, never inventory.
Subscriptions are deliberate choices, kept separate from any scan of your library — so the synced list can never become a manifest of what you own.
The server learns what you want to read about — and is structurally unable to learn what you have.
