refern for studios and teams

A self-hosted shared workspace for your whole studio. One library, everyone's tags, on your own network. No cloud required, ever.

  • One shared libraryEveryone on the team browses, searches, and tags the same references in real time. A tag added at one desk shows up at every other.
  • Self-hosted on your hardwareThe refern server runs on a machine you control, inside your network. No cloud, no external services, no files leaving the building.
  • Works fully air-gappedEverything functions with no internet connection at all. Built for studios with strict content-security requirements, TPN and similar.
  • Your files stay in placeSame refern principle: the library indexes the folders your team already has, like your existing NAS, and never copies originals.
