About

UnGathered is a local collection checker. It starts with items selected from a folder, such as one directory per product or one Markdown file per article. A JSON manifest declares what each item should have beside it. The scanner reports the missing companions and failed checks, while keeping operational errors separate from ordinary gaps.

A manufacturing pack might need a specification, drawing and inspection record. An article might need a matching image file and a line crediting its photographer. The engine applies explicit naming and content rules. It does not guess what a document means or decide whether an image is legally usable. A folder can satisfy its declared rules and still be incomplete under a rule nobody wrote down.

The first version runs as one Go binary, using the standard library. It reads local files and produces text, JSON or a self-contained HTML report. There is no remote account to configure, and the scanner does not repair or modify the input collection. It is released under Apache 2.0, with Linux, macOS and Windows archives on the download page.

UnGathered is a SoftDevStudio.com project. The repository contains the manual, example manifests and recorded verification. Read the reference for the exact meaning of a complete result.
