Find any moment
in everything you've recorded.
MediaFind transcribes, understands and indexes your audio and video entirely on your Mac — then lets you search it the way you remember it. Plain language in, the exact timestamp out.
Best-in-class open models — running entirely on your machine
Everything it does, in under a minute
A real screen recording — search, Ask with cited answers, on-screen text, faces & celebrities, Knowledge & Insights, and jump-to-the-moment playback.
Search it fifteen different ways
You don't always remember the words. MediaFind indexes meaning, sound and pixels — so you can search by what was said, what was shown, who was there, or what it felt like.
Every mode is keyless and on-device. Results link to the exact timestamp — confirm in one click.
From a folder of files to a searchable mind
No pipelines to wire up, no cloud buckets, no keys. Point MediaFind at a folder and it does the rest — locally.
Point it at a folder
Add any folder of audio or video. MediaFind handles the common formats and keeps watching for new files you drop in.
It understands it locally
Transcription, embeddings, keyframes, OCR, objects, speakers and chapters are computed on your Mac — nothing is uploaded.
Search, ask & export
Describe a moment, ask questions of your library, jump to the exact timestamp — or export the moments straight to your editor.
A studio's worth of tools. One private app.
Point MediaFind at a folder. It transcribes, embeds and indexes everything locally — then opens up every kind of search, recall and export.
Natural-language search
Describe a moment in plain words and get ranked clips with exact timestamps — semantic, not keyword. The search you wish every recording had.
On-device AI assistant
Ask questions of your whole library and get grounded, cited answers — powered by a language model that runs locally. Multi-turn, conversational, and it never phones home.
Export to your editor
Send any set of results to Premiere, Resolve or Final Cut as a frame-accurate FCPXML or EDL timeline.
Visual & multimodal
Searches the picture too — CLIP scene/object search plus OCR of on-screen text, color and reverse-image.
Apple Silicon speed
Whisper transcription accelerated with CoreML, with word-level timestamps and confidence. Pick your model on first run.
Speakers
Keyless two-stage diarization labels who said what across your library — click a voice to see every clip.
Summaries & chapters
Per-file summaries and auto-segmented chapters so long recordings are skimmable in seconds.
Smart Cleanup
Find near-duplicates, blurry files and clutter, then move candidates into a reversible quarantine before deleting anything.
People & faces
On-device face library — click a face to jump to every appearance, or switch it off and wipe all face data anytime. Famous public figures auto-named ⭐.
Built-in video tools
Keyless ffmpeg editor: cut, convert, resize, compress, grab a frame, or make a GIF — without leaving the app.
Works with AI agents (MCP)
Give Claude, Claude Code or Cursor local eyes on your footage — search, ask and read transcripts over MCP, nothing uploaded. Set it up →
Brand logos
Find where a brand appears — by name (“Nike”) or by an uploaded sample logo image.
Meetings mode
Turn any recording into action items, decisions and key points — with optional local mic capture.
Media downloader
Pull public media from a URL so it transcribes and becomes searchable like everything else.
Frontier-grade AI, zero cloud
Everything that makes MediaFind smart — transcription, semantic search, summaries and the Ask assistant — executes on your own machine. Download the models once, then unplug the internet and it still works.
- ✓Local language model. Ask and summaries run on an on-device LLM you download once — no API keys, no per-token billing, no prompt ever leaving your Mac.
- ✓CoreML-accelerated transcription. Whisper-class models tuned for Apple Silicon, with word-level timestamps and confidence scoring.
- ✓Choose your engine. Pick a transcription and assistant model that fits your machine on first run — speed or accuracy, your call.
- ✓Verifiable. The core path opens zero external connections — and a built-in privacy check lets you confirm it yourself, any time.
Built for anyone with hours of media to dig through
If you've ever scrubbed through a recording trying to find the one part you remember, MediaFind is for you.
Podcasters & creators
Resurface that perfect quote across hundreds of episodes, then clip it for promos — without re-listening to anything.
Video editors
Find b-roll and soundbites by describing what's on screen, then export the selects as an FCPXML/EDL timeline to Premiere or Resolve.
Journalists & researchers
Search hours of interviews by meaning, find every mention of a topic, and cite the exact timestamp it was said.
Legal & compliance
Review depositions and recordings privately, on-device, where the material can never leave the machine.
Teams & meetings

Lifelong archivists
Make a lifetime of home videos, lectures, and voice memos finally searchable — by what happened, not by date.
What leaves your machine, and when
Not just a claim — it's verifiable at runtime. The core path uses no account, no API key, and no telemetry.
