Show HN: I made a Mac app to search my images and videos locally with ML
Desktop Docs is a Mac app that lets you search all your photos and videos in seconds with AI.<p>Once you find the file you&#x27;re looking for you can resize it, export it to Adobe Premiere Pro, or drag and drop it into another app.<p>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). The Apple Photos app also only supports photos in your iCloud.<p>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.<p>You can search by objects (&quot;cardboard box&quot;), actions (&quot;man smiling&quot;, &quot;car driving&quot;), by emotion (&quot;surprised woman&quot;, &quot;sad cowboy&quot;), or the text in the frame (great for screenshots or memes).<p>It&#x27;s also 100% private. Make any media searchable without it ever leaving your computer.<p>How I built it:
- 100% Javascript (I&#x27;m using Electron JS and React JS).
- Embedding generation (CLIP from OpenAI is used to compute the image embeddings and text embeddings for user queries).
- Redis (storing and doing KNN search on the embeddings with this DB).
- Image&#x2F;video editing (the app ships with FFmpeg binaries to explode videos into individual frames and scale images).<p>Demo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=EIUgPNHOKKc" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=EIUgPNHOKKc</a><p>If there are any features you&#x27;d like to see in Desktop Docs or want to learn more about how I built it, drop me a comment below. Happy to share more.
