A MediaFind tool

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.

Click a face - see every photo of that person

Excire-class search, a fraction of the price

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 search

Faces & 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.

People

Text, 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 + XMP

RAW-native, catalog-never

Point 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

On-device AI - transcription-grade models run locally, CPU-only works.
One-time price - $59 launch ($79 regular) unlocks unlimited; free up to 5,000 photos.
7-day full-library trial - index everything, decide in a week.
