Looking for a Peakto alternative?

Peakto is a capable Mac tool that blends photo asset management with AI search and transcripts. But it's macOS-only. If you want the same content search without the platform lock-in — here's the comparison.

The short version. Both search your media on-device with transcripts and faces. MediaFind's case is reach (Mac, Windows and Linux — Peakto is macOS-only) and breadth (it also finds on-screen text, logos and songs). Peakto's own strength is photo-library asset management in the Apple ecosystem.

Which one is for you

Pick MediaFind if you're not Mac-only, 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 ships a built-in privacy audit, you can confirm nothing leaves your disk rather than take the claim on faith.

Search your whole library on-device.
