Features

• Content-Addressable Storage - Provides a comprehensive graphical interface for organizing, importing, and inspecting files using Merkle trees and content identifiers.
• IPFS Node Administration - Provides a complete graphical interface for managing the lifecycle, configuration, and operational health of a local IPFS node.
• Content-Addressed File Browsers - Ships a graphical browser for managing content-addressed files through renaming, moving, pinning, and previewing.
• Daemon Configuration Managers - Includes a manager for controlling the IPFS daemon lifecycle and applying configuration profiles.
• P2P Content Importers - Allows users to add files, folders, or screenshots to a local node using drag-and-drop or content identifiers.
• Peer-to-Peer Publishing Tools - Provides tools for uploading and hosting files on the distributed network to make them available to other peers.
• Content Browsers - Ships a graphical browser for importing, pinning, and organizing files and directories using content identifiers.
• HTTP Clients - Provides an HTTP client interface for retrieving data from content-addressed storage using content identifiers.
• Mutable Pointer Resolution - Implements a pointer system that maps persistent identifiers to changing content via signed records for version tracking.
• Content-Addressable Retrievals - Implements a system for fetching network content using unique cryptographic content hashes rather than location-based identifiers.
• Content Pinning - Provides a pinning mechanism that prevents specific content-addressed data from being removed by garbage collection.
• Content-Based Data Retrieval - Implements content-based data retrieval by fetching network data using specific content identifiers.
• Content Pinning - Provides a mechanism to pin content to local or remote nodes to ensure permanent data availability on the network.
• Decentralized Website Hosting - Enables the serving of static content and single-page sites over a peer-to-peer network without centralized hosting.
• Peer-to-Peer File Sharing - Enables the distribution and retrieval of data across a decentralized network using content identifiers.
• HTTP Gateways - Provides a gateway controller that routes decentralized network content through a local HTTP server for browser access.
• IPFS HTTP Gateways - Provides a local HTTP gateway that allows standard web browsers to access and view content stored on the IPFS network.
• Peer-to-Peer Clients - Serves as a comprehensive graphical client for interacting with a local IPFS node and the broader P2P network.
• Node Daemon Control Interfaces - Offers an RPC interface to send HTTP requests to the running daemon for executing node-level commands.
• Cryptographic Key Management - Provides utilities for generating, importing, and using cryptographic key pairs for signing and verifying data.
• P2P Asset Ingestion Extensions - Ships a browser extension that allows users to add images and assets to their local node via right-click menus.
• P2P Cache Reclaimers - Provides utilities for deleting files from the local node and triggering garbage collection to reclaim storage space.
• Node File Management - Provides tools for renaming, moving, deleting, and pinning files within the local node to ensure data persistence.
• P2P Resource Managers - Provides a browser extension for pinning, unpinning, and generating public gateway links for decentralized network resources.
• Identifier Inspection Tools - Includes utilities for inspecting, formatting, and converting content identifiers to analyze object references.
• Portable Content Archives - Packages content-addressed data into serialized archive files to facilitate easy transfer between different systems.
• Persistence Markers - Allows users to mark specific data as critical to prevent deletion during automatic cache cleanup.
• Mutable Namespace Management - Provides an interface for listing, copying, and modifying permissions for files within the local mutable namespace.
• Share Link Managers - Generates shareable identifiers and gateway links to allow other users to retrieve specific data from the network.
• Storage Garbage Collection - Includes a process that identifies and deletes data no longer pinned to reclaim local disk space.
• Third-Party Pinning Services - Integrates with third-party pinning services to ensure data remains available even when the local node is offline.
• Storage Cleanup Utilities - Includes a utility to remove unpinned files and blocks from local storage to reclaim disk space.
• Name-Based Filesystem Interfaces - Ships a name-based interface that allows editing files while automatically updating the underlying content hashes.
• Static Site Deployment - Provides a pipeline that merkleizes static sites into archive files and uploads them to a node for deployment.
• Content Provider Discovery - Provides tools to locate nodes hosting specific data by querying the distributed network for content keys.
• Mutable Name Resolvers - Resolves named pointers to current content hashes and manages signed records via the IPNS system.
• DNSLink Mappings - Implements DNSLink to map domain names to content identifiers, providing human-readable addresses for decentralized services.
• Custom Domains - Supports mapping user-owned domains to decentralized content through DNSLink resolution over HTTPS.
• Connection Visualizations - Features a global map that visualizes connected peers, their geographical locations, and connection types.
• Peer-to-Peer Messaging - Implements a PubSub system for exchanging categorized data and communicating between peers in a peer-to-peer network.
• Subdomain Routing Gateways - Ships a host-header gateway that exposes decentralized content through subdomains to maintain browser security model compatibility.
• Topic-Based Messaging - Implements a PubSub system for sending and receiving filtered messages categorized by topic.
• Real-Time Node Health Monitors - Provides real-time diagnostics and performance statistics for network agents and node health.
• Content Hash Verification - Verifies that retrieved data bytes match a specific cryptographic content identifier to ensure data integrity.
• Static Site Hosting - Enables the publishing of static websites to the decentralized web with DNSLink support.
• Developer Tooling - Desktop application providing a full node and system integration.
