Vaultgrid is a local-first asset manager for design studios that indexes design files where they live and adds rescue, license, duplicate, and AI-context workflows for a one-time $2 fee.
What is Vaultgrid?
Vaultgrid (v2.4) is a local-first asset management tool that creates a searchable index of design assets such as PSDs, videos, 3D props, and typefaces without uploading originals. It reads files from local drives, SSDs, or NAS shares and produces a database-style library with search latency under 10 milliseconds. The app keeps all metadata in local browser storage, preserves existing folder structures, and is sold on screenfast.site as a lifetime license for $2 USD.
Key Features
- Asset Rescue Autopilot — Preflights project folders, finds missing linked media, offline footage, unused fonts, and nested textures, then packages a client-ready rescue pack with a proof manifest and recovered paths.
- License Firewall — Audits commercial-use rights, font seats, music usage, and proof notes across collections and blocks risky exports until the missing license proof is attached.
- Duplicate Radar — Detects identical file hashes, duplicate names, and related revisions across client folders and reports reclaimable storage before deletion.
- AI Context Packs — Converts a local collection into a structured prompt pack with asset roles, style tokens, license proof, and negative prompts for AI tools such as Midjourney, Runway, and Meta.
- Visual Lineage Time Machine — Records source files, fonts, textures, LUTs, and render presets so any export can be traced back to exact source versions and marked restorable.
- Native Multi-Format Indexing — Extracts metadata for .psd, .ai, .fig, .glb, .usdz, .blend, .c4d, .obj, .fbx, .prproj, .r3d, .otf, .woff2, .wav, .aiff, .svg, .exr, and .tiff with format-specific previews.
- Color-Family Filter — Automatically bins assets into palette families at index time, allowing instant filters such as “teal + isometric” across a large vault.
- Auto-Tag on Import — Filenames, folder ancestry, and file type are converted into structured tags the moment a file is dropped into the workspace.
Who should use Vaultgrid?
- Design studios preparing client handoffs use Asset Rescue Autopilot to preflight messy project folders and deliver a clean pack with a license and usage manifest.
- Motion designers and editors use local search to find offline source footage referenced in old projects and rebuild linked files from archived drives before final export.
- Brand teams running AI-assisted campaigns assemble AI Context Packs from local brand assets for tools like Midjourney and Runway without uploading originals.
- Production artists managing growing libraries use Duplicate Radar to identify duplicate revisions and reclaim storage across client folders.
What can you do with Vaultgrid?
- Rescue old client projects: run a project folder through the preflight to recover missing links, fonts, and textures, then output a proof manifest the client can trust.
- Safely export commercial work: use License Firewall to check font seats, music usage, and license tags before a risky export reaches production.
- Speed up AI generation prompts: create a context pack from your actual brand files so the model receives style tokens, rights, and negative prompts in one structured handoff.
- Restore an approved version later: trace a past export back to the exact source PSDs, fonts, and render preset when a client asks for a new crop six months after approval.
How does Vaultgrid work?
Vaultgrid works in three steps. First, point it at a local folder, drive, or NAS share and it indexes files in place. Then the app extracts embedded and filename metadata and auto-generates structured tags. Finally, you search with combined tag, color, kind, and collection filters or press Cmd+K to jump to a result, while a Canvas workspace supports drag-and-drop imports and live previews for audio waveforms and 3D glTF models.
Pricing
Vaultgrid charges a single one-time payment of $2 USD and includes unlimited asset indexing, all features, and all future software updates. There are no monthly subscriptions, no seat tiers, and no per-user fees; checkout is handled through Polar with a 100% money-back guarantee.
FAQ
Does Vaultgrid copy or move my original files?
No. Vaultgrid indexes files in place exactly where they live on your hard drive, SSD, or NAS shares. Your existing folder hierarchy and file locations are completely preserved.
What does $2 lifetime access mean?
A single $2 USD payment gives you full access to all Vaultgrid features forever, including unlimited local asset indexing and all future software updates. This is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.
No. The product is private by design: originals are never uploaded, and all metadata is kept in local browser storage on your machine.
Vaultgrid has native indexers for many creative formats, including .psd, .ai, .fig, .glb, .usdz, .blend, .c4d, .obj, .fbx, .prproj, .r3d, .otf, .woff2, .wav, .aiff, .svg, .exr, and .tiff.
