What is Gero?
Gero is a personal video content management and streaming platform. It lets you download, organize, tag, and enjoy your media collection through a modern web interface.
Install it on your Windows PC or run it in Docker on a server. All data stays on your own hardware — no cloud services, no tracking, no third parties.
