Fully local, natural language search over terabytes of media
Clipto is a fully local, AI-powered media search tool designed for creative professionals who work with large volumes of video, audio, and image files. It transforms scattered media archives into a searchable library, allowing users to find any moment by describing it in natural language—like 'a handshake' or 'a city at night.' Unlike cloud-based solutions, Clipto keeps all data on-device, processing everything locally on Apple Silicon Macs. This makes it ideal for filmmakers, video editors, marketers, and any content creator who values speed, privacy, and the ability to work offline. The core value is eliminating the hours wasted on manual scrubbing, folder organization, and file naming, replacing them with instant, intuitive search.
Creative professionals often struggle with the time-consuming task of locating specific moments within massive media libraries. For a filmmaker with multiple takes of every scene, finding the perfect shot can mean scrubbing through hours of footage. A marketer might have campaign clips scattered across various drives and folders, unable to remember which file held a crucial scene. Photographers and video editors face similar pain points—digging through hard drives to find one specific shot or moment. Clipto directly addresses this by providing a plain-English search interface that works across all local and connected storage, dramatically reducing the time spent on retrieval and allowing users to focus on their creative work.
Clipto’s search capabilities are grouped into four intuitive categories: People, Actions, Dialogue, and Scenes. The People feature automatically identifies faces across content, letting users search by name and jump to every moment that person appears. Actions detect and index specific movements—like a goal celebration or a handshake—so a simple query retrieves the exact clip. Dialogue searches every spoken word, pinpointing the precise moment a phrase was uttered. Scenes understand visual context, finding clips based on places, objects, or environments such as 'a person in white' or 'a city at night.' Each category processes locally using on-device AI, ensuring fast results without compromising privacy.
The second major feature group is unified knowledge across storage. Clipto seamlessly integrates with multiple storage solutions, including Dropbox, Google Drive, NAS devices, and local folders. Users keep their files exactly where they are—there is no need to move or reorganize anything. Clipto indexes the content from these locations and makes it searchable from a single interface. This means a video editor can search across a NAS at the office and a local drive on their laptop without manual syncing. The system understands the structure of each storage backend, preserving original file paths and metadata while adding rich search capabilities.
