What is Mare?
Mare is a platform for organising and exploring large, fragmented media archives.
Creative and research work increasingly spans images, PDFs, videos, links, and notes spread across multiple tools. Existing systems prioritise storage and retrieval, but offer limited support for understanding how materials relate, cluster, or evolve over time.
MARE provides a semantic layer over heterogeneous media. It ingests material from multiple sources, enriches it with contextual metadata, and enables users to navigate their archives through thematic clusters and associative exploration rather than rigid folders or keyword search.
The platform is built for designers, artists, writers, researchers, and small teams who treat archives as active research spaces rather than static collections.

Where are we at so far?
Mare is currently in active private beta. The core system supports ingesting visual and textual references, enriching them with structured metadata, and exploring them through clustered views that reveal latent connections across a user's archive. The product is being developed in close dialogue with early creative users to refine workflows, interaction patterns, and long-term usability.
At this stage, Mare is a working prototype with live users, under ongoing development. Additional features such as deeper cross-modal linking, improved archive navigation, and expanded export and sharing capabilities are in progress.
