| # Scrubexif hits 1k+ clones — and now has --simple mode | |
| Scrubexif has officially crossed 1,000 clones on GitHub — a meaningful milestone for a small, specialized open-source tool focused on high-trust JPEG metadata scrubbing. | |
| A new option has been added --simple mode, which removes all onboarding friction: | |
| ```bash | |
| docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/photos" per2jensen/scrubexif:0.7.10 --simple | |
| ``` | |
| What it does: | |
| - scans your current directory for JPEGs | |
| - writes scrubbed copies to ./output/ | |
| - keeps originals untouched | |
| - requires zero directory setup | |
| - no risk to your photos | |
| - works on Linux, macOS, and Windows with Docker | |
| This one-liner significantly lowers the barrier for first-time users, which is reflected directly in the clone statistics. | |
| ## Why this matters | |
| --simple makes it really easy to get going. For most people, all they want is “scrub the JPEGs right here”. | |
| Now they can. | |
| ## Thank you | |
| To everyone who used, cloned or integrated `scrubexif` into a workflow. | |
| ## Next milestones: | |
| - 2k+ clones | |
| - improving SBOM data | |
| - improving robustning even more | |
| - keep the image fresh and low on vulns | |
| `Scrubexif` remains focused on safe defaults, transparent behavior, and photographer-friendly workflows. |
