How it works
Three verbs. That’s the whole app.
Point
Show it your folders. It watches what's on screen — video, photos, RAW — and quietly builds a private index on your drive.
Describe
Type what happens, not a filename. “man with a dog at night”. Plain words, the way you remember the moment.
Drop
The exact clip, in seconds. Drag it straight onto your timeline. Originals stay exactly where they were.
Watch it think
Plain words in. Exact frames out.
The window above plays the real index live — a query types itself, the scan sweeps every frame, and only the shots that genuinely match light up in gold. Here’s the full sixty-second walkthrough of the actual app:
Your footage never leaves your machine.
No upload bar. No “processing in the cloud”. The index lives on your drive and answers in milliseconds — even with the internet unplugged.
Privacy & power
Built like a good NLE. Quiet, fast, yours.
Nothing uploads. Ever.
Search runs on your machine — no cloud round-trip, no telemetry, no account inside the app. Unplug the internet and it keeps working.
Read-only by design.
It never moves, renames, or edits a single file. It writes one small index and touches nothing else.
Sees what's in the frame.
Not filenames — content. Faces, places, actions, objects. Describe the moment any way it comes to you.
RAW, HEIC, phone dumps.
Hours of footage, thousands of stills, messy editor folders — indexed once, searched forever.

Quick answers.
Is the app really free?
Yes. Full search, free forever, no card. You can index up to 200 files in total across your whole library — and the allowance resets every 14 days.
What does Pro add?
One payment of $29.99 removes the file cap for good. Unlock it inside the app — secure checkout by Polar, nothing to buy on this site.
Does it work offline?
Completely. Indexing, searching and drag-out all happen on your machine.
Will it change my files?
No. It reads read-only and writes one small index into your app data.
Do I need a website account?
No — the Microsoft Store installs it like any Store app. A quick Google or email sign-in only applies to the classic .exe installer on the download page.
Stop scrubbing. Start asking.
