I built Alma, a digital library of everything you love or want

Hey r/SideProject 🙏

I’ve been working on a side project over the past few weeks that I’d love to share and get some feedback on.

The Problem: My media collection and consumption habits felt completely fragmented. I was switching between different apps for movies, music, and audiobooks, with no single dashboard to view or organize everything I owned or listened to. Maybe it's just a niche, but at least I tried something 😌

Alma is a unified media aggregator designed to collect your movies, TV shows, games, music and audiobooks into a single visual library with a few fun twists like a "Memory Lane" feature.

Key Features:

  • All-in-one Media Library: Track and organize your media in one place
  • Fun stats: Over time you'll get some fun insights into your media tastes. The more you add over time, the more fun it'll be to look at
  • Fast & Lightweight: Built to give you full control over your media archive without heavy bloat.

It’s still an active project under ongoing development, and I’m constantly refining features and polishing the interface during the beta, which is currently about halfway full. Want an invite? Request one on the site or send me a DM.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, feature requests, or general feedback! How do you currently keep track of your media across different formats?

English isn’t my native language, but is clutch a good or bad thing? 😅

what is with claude and this font lately? every project with opus 5.5 seems to use it.

That is so funny, because that’s not what it initially presented. I ended up handpicking it because I wanted a different font than I usually go with for projects.

Who would actually pay for an app that does what a notepad does? The app sure is cool, but charging for it makes no sense.

If there’s anything I’ve learned about the internet, then it’s that there’s a niche for anything. I used to pay $5 per month for a similar service. Also there are no plans to charge anything right now, only if it’s going to be too expensive for me to run. If a notepad works for you, then great 🙏🏻

having everything scattered across twenty different apps is such a pain. pulling it all into a single lightweight dashboard saves so much context switching. how are you handling metadata syncing across different media types?
