What is FansDB?

FansDB is invite-only crowdsourced metadata database focused on independent adult creators from adult creator platforms.

• We store information about performers, including their aliases, physical attributes, and career history.
• We catalog metadata on scenes from approved platforms, detailing scene titles, descriptions, release dates, and participating performers.
• Users can also submit tags to categorize and describe content, enhancing the searchability and organization of the database.

FansDB runs on stash-box¹ which uses perceptual hashing² to make matching your local files to FansDB metadata very easy. It eliminates the common struggle of unreliable filenames or files being in different resolution not matching.

To take full advantage of it, you just need to install Stash³ porn organizer application. It will be able to connect directly to the FansDB database. Follow their documentation⁴ for installation instructions.

2. Perceptual hashing allows you to compare similartities between multiple multimedia files by hamming distance. Which means that despite difference in resolution, encoding or basic changes to the source file it can still be grouped together and matched easily. Read more about it here. ↩
