SourceRush Private beta · invited participants

Windows source discovery & acquisition

Find the file.
Keep the story.

Start with a subject or URL. Search broadly, trace promising originals, save usable media, and keep its source and review context together.

Explore the workflow Private beta guide

A small Windows 11 private beta is for individually invited participants. The Beta guide explains how to express interest. Download access requires a named invitation; there is no public installer or checkout.

One connected workflow

From a lead to a library item

SourceRush brings search, file checks, review and filing into one local desktop workflow. A result is a lead until the app validates a saved file.

  1. 01

    Start with the subject

    Describe what you need or supply a link. Choose automatic discovery or manual source selection.

  2. 02

    Trace the source

    Inspect promising candidates and their source context. A search result alone is not a usable download.

  3. 03

    Acquire with checks

    Guarded acquisition reports failures and validates the local file before calling it saved.

  4. 04

    Review and organize

    Use Temporary Review or direct filing, then find the saved file and its provenance in My Library.

Local first by design

Your files stay yours.

You choose the media destination. SourceRush keeps the catalog and settings in a separate Windows user profile, and exports a redacted diagnostic report only when requested.

Review before saving

Temporary Review lets you inspect a downloaded copy before filing it into your library.

Keep context close

Details retains source links, descriptions, attribution and rights information alongside your local file.

Optional reporting

The beta includes clearly disclosed, opt-in category reporting. Reporting is off unless a participant chooses to enable it.

Before you begin

Clear requirements, clear limits

Windows desktop

The first private pilot is limited to invited Windows 11 x64 users. The installer is unsigned; its setup and uninstall experience will be checked with the first participants.

Choose your tools

Some video workflows need a separately installed FFmpeg. yt-dlp is selected separately for supported downloads, and Deno is optional. SourceRush does not silently install them.

Source access varies

Providers can change, fail, limit requests or need their own access keys. SourceRush reports those outcomes instead of presenting a failed retrieval as a saved file.

Invitation-based private beta

A small group. Real workflows. Useful feedback.

Try the private Beta with a real task, then tell us what worked or where you got stuck during setup and first use.
