Search your whole photo library
PhotoFind finds any shot by what's actually in it - describe it in plain language, click a face to see everyone's photos, or find text that appears on-screen. It reads RAW natively, points at folders (no import), and keeps every photo on your Mac.
Find the shot without scrolling for it
PhotoFind gives the MediaFind tool family a photo-native workspace - RAW-aware, folder-first, and built to find one frame in a library of tens of thousands.
Search by what's in it
Type a plain-language description - "red car in the rain", "birthday cake", "whiteboard sketch" - and PhotoFind ranks the matching frames. On-device CLIP, no tagging required.
Prompt searchFaces & people
Faces are grouped automatically. Click a person to open every photo they appear in, name them once, and hide the strangers you don't care about in bulk.
PeopleText, logos & duplicates
Find words that appear on-screen (OCR), spot near-duplicate bursts with a keeper suggestion, and write picks back as XMP sidecars Lightroom reads.
OCR + dedup + XMPPoint at folders, keep your originals
PhotoFind reads camera RAW plus JPEG, HEIC and TIFF, and indexes the folders you already have - no import, no proprietary catalog to maintain or lose. Offline external drives resume when you reconnect them.
- RAW + everything else - Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji and more, alongside JPEG/HEIC/TIFF.
- Folder-first - your originals stay exactly where they are.
- Results exit clean - reveal in Finder, export a set, or write XMP for Lightroom.
Nothing leaves your Mac
Indexing and search run entirely on-device - no account, no upload, no telemetry. The only network activity is an optional one-time model download you can see and audit.
- On-device AI - transcription-grade models run locally, CPU-only works.
- Free - nothing to buy. Today's download indexes up to 5,000 photos, and a 7-day trial in the app lifts that for a week; a free build without the limit is being prepared.
MediaFind searches your photos - and your videos, recordings, meetings and AI chats
PhotoFind does one job for free. MediaFind puts your photos in one private index with your video and audio, so a single search covers what's in the shot and what was said. It also writes up your meetings, keeps your ChatGPT and Claude history and your notes searchable, and turns what you find into a video - all on your computer.
MediaFind reads JPG, PNG, HEIC and the other common formats, not camera RAW - keep PhotoFind for RAW archives. Free for up to 10 files; Pro adds unlimited indexing, People & Faces and more, with a 7-day trial.
