Wrangler bringsverified media ingestinto the Raconteur world.

An open-source data wrangling tool developed by the Raconteur team and currently in alpha, Wrangler is built to run headless while remaining locally accessible through a web GUI for ingest, project organisation, mirrored copies, and checksum-backed confidence across media workflows.

Alpha snapshot

01

Detect mounted source volumes via host helper.

02

Browse folders and add files into a pooled ingest selection.

03

Route sources into a project structure before copy begins.

04

Create project copies, mirror destinations, and log checksums.

Positioning

Styled as a software product page, but grounded in the features and UI patterns already present in the alpha codebase, including its headless server plus local web interface workflow.

Highlights

Product cues pulled from the style guide, paced like a software launch page.

Designed for set-ready ingest

Select media fast

Mounted volumes, source browsing, pooled selections, and destination targeting are shaped for operators who need the workflow to stay legible under pressure, even when the underlying system is running headless.

Local web access

Run headless, control through the browser

Wrangler is intended to run headless, with the server exposed locally through a web GUI so operators can manage ingest, routing, and verification from the browser.

Open-source alpha

Built in the open

Wrangler was developed by the Raconteur team and is continuing to evolve in public, with the current alpha focused on practical ingest operations for real-world media handling.

Product demo

An interactive demo built from the actual Wrangler interface patterns.

Instead of static frames, the section below now uses a stateful in-page version of the Wrangler UI developed by our team so visitors can click through the workflow and understand how the product behaves.

This section reuses the structure and behavior of the real `Wrangler` app: projects, source volumes, finder-style browsing, inspector, pooled selections, destination routing, and transfer state.
