Which one is for you
Pick MediaFind if you're not Mac-only, want to own the tool for $29 rather than subscribe, and want one search box that also finds on-screen text, logos and songs — with privacy you can verify.
Pick Peakto if you're all-in on the Mac, want a polished photo-and-video asset manager as much as a search tool, and a subscription (or its lifetime tier) suits you.
Not Mac-only
Peakto is macOS-only. MediaFind runs on macOS, Windows and Linux, and it works on a CPU-only machine — so the same content search works whether your archive lives on a Mac, a PC, or a Linux box.
Breadth you can verify
Beyond dialogue and faces, MediaFind also searches on-screen text, brand logos and songs across your whole audio and video library — and because it's source-available with a built-in privacy audit, you can confirm nothing leaves your disk rather than take the claim on faith.
Search your whole library for $29 — once.
