Desktop Docs — Mac app to search your images and videos locally with AI

Use AI to search your entire media library in seconds by describing the contents of your files. It doesn't matter if you don't remember the file title. Once you find your files, export them to Adobe Premiere Pro for easy editing. Never lose a file again.

Hey Product Hunt, I'm excited to share Desktop Docs with everyone. Desktop Docs is a Mac app that lets you search all your photos and videos in seconds with AI. Once you find the file you're looking for you can resize it, export it to Adobe Premiere Pro, or drag and drop it into another app. I built Desktop Docs because I keep tons of media files on my computer and I can never remember where I save stuff (lots of screenshots, memes, and downloads). Desktop Docs supports adding folders or individual files to an AI Library where you can search by the contents of your files, not just file titles. You can search by action ("man smiling", "car driving"), by emotion ("surprised woman", "sad cowboy"), or text in the frame. It's also 100% private. Make any media searchable without it ever leaving your computer. If there are any features you'd like to see in Desktop Docs, drop me a comment below! What's included in the one-time license? - Mac download - Access to the Slack community for support and feature requests - Future updates to the app

congratulations, brian, on launching desktop docs. making file management smoother is essential for productivity. the private ai feature catches my eye, considering data sensitivity is paramount. how has implementing ai to work efficiently within privacy constraints influenced your development process?

@mashy Thanks for checking our Desktop Docs! Searching files locally is a popular request for this type of tool, so it a was priority to get it into the product.

Hey @mashy, thanks for taking a look at our launch! I'm one of the devs that worked on Desktop Docs and working within privacy constraints definitely made developing this product more challenging! Instead of making API requests to 3rd party services to index files with their LLMs, we download open sourced models directly into the product. This way all indexing happens locally on your machine and keeps files private.
