Personal database app to keep all those interesting projects that are in development organized.

Currently on hold!

Tentacles Manager

Personal database for games and other interesting projects out there.

Description

Welcome to the Tentacles Manager project. This app was designed as personal database software to easily store information about different project being in development that you want to remember about. Nowadays we have so much wonderful games (and other projects) that are in development and waiting for support on sites like Patreon that one can quickly lose track about all of them. Web browsers bookmarks are clunky and does not give much of a description for items placed in there. Notebook applications can be better for saving info about those project, but they require a lot of effort to structure everything nicely. If you are like me, and would like to save info about every interesting game (or other project) that is in development, in a secure and good-looking app, so that in a year or two you can go back and see what is the status of that project, this app is what you are looking for.

Features list:

• Ability to store all the info about games you want to track categorized and searchable
• Tags that help search and describe all those project
• Ability to add screenshots
• Star ratings that help you clearly mark how much you are interested in the given project
• And last but not least AES-256 encryption that keeps everything safe from other users of your computer
