Prerequisites

• Node.js 22+
• Rust (stable)
• Windows 10/11 (WebView2 runtime is pre-installed on Win10/11)

VANTA needs your OnlyFans authentication data to connect. Use the included Chrome extension:

1. Load the datagrabber/ folder as an unpacked extension in Chrome (chrome://extensions > Developer mode > Load unpacked)
2. Log into OnlyFans and browse a few pages
3. Click the VANTA Credential Helper extension icon
4. Click "Copy for VANTA"
5. Paste the values into VANTA Settings > Credentials

See datagrabber/README.md for details.

Development

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Run in development mode
npm run tauri dev

Production Build

# Build Windows installer + standalone .exe
npm run tauri build

Output is generated in src-tauri/target/release/.

Themes

VANTA ships with three built-in themes, plus accent color customization:

Theme	Description
Graphite (default)	Cool monochrome dark
Bone	Warm light/paper
Clay	Warm dark/earthy

All themes persist across restarts and can be combined with any accent color.

Privacy

VANTA is designed with privacy as a first-class concern:

• ✅ All data is stored locally — nothing is sent to any server except the OnlyFans API
• ✅ Credentials are stored in a local config file, never transmitted except to OnlyFans
• ✅ The SQLite library database contains only file paths, favorites, tags, ratings, and sync metadata — no media content
• ✅ Downloaded files are stored in their original format on your local filesystem
• ✅ No telemetry, analytics, or tracking of any kind

Contributing

Contributions are welcome! Please feel free to submit a pull request or open an issue.

1. Fork the repository
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b feature/amazing-feature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -m 'Add amazing feature')
4. Push to the branch (git push origin feature/amazing-feature)
5. Open a pull request

Guidelines

• Follow the existing code style (Rust: cargo fmt, TypeScript: tsc --noEmit)
• Test your changes: npm run build (frontend) + cargo build (backend) should both pass with zero warnings
• Keep the UI minimal — VANTA's design philosophy is "grounded minimalism": no glassmorphism, no neon, every pixel earns its place
• Respect the privacy-first architecture — no external telemetry or tracking
