Like Google Photos, but fully local. Turn the terabytes of video, audio, meetings, and files you work with into searchable memories, without uploading anything to the cloud. Clipto automatically tags people, dialogue, and scenes, so you can instantly find any moment buried in your media just by describing what you're looking for. It's fast too: on a MacBook Pro M5, Clipto indexed 2TB of videos in just 24 hours.

Is it really as simple as dragging clips in and typing what you want? If so, this is going to save video editors hours of organizing every week！

@new_user___1282025165cc92287e7a197 Yes, that was exactly the Aha moment for me when I first tried it. I was editing a short drama series at the time, and I immediately felt how much time it could save：）
@henry_kang @chrismessina Local search feels like the right direction for large personal or team media libraries. Natural language is powerful here, but privacy matters just as much when the data is meetings, files, and raw video that people may not want in the cloud.

Thanks, Alper. @alpertayfurr
That’s exactly the thesis behind Clipto. As AI becomes more powerful, people want their data to be more accessible, not less private.
We believe search should happen where the data already lives, whether that’s meetings, media libraries, research archives, or personal memories.
Privacy, ownership, and usability shouldn’t be tradeoffs.
@henry_kang @matthewwei the fully local processing is the whole product, not a feature. Routing all inference on-device means the Premiere Pro integration isn't a nice-to-have, it's the trust argument for any team that can't let footage leave the building. Congrats on shipping.

Thanks, Joseph.@kjosephabraham
That’s exactly how we think about it. We never started with “let’s add a local mode.” We started with the belief that some of the most valuable media people own should never have to leave their machines in the first place.
For many creators, studios, and teams, local processing isn’t just about privacy. It’s about maintaining ownership, reducing dependency on cloud infrastructure, and being able to work wherever the media is.
Really appreciate the support.
We think the future of AI will be local-first much more often than people expect.
This is pretty compelling for on-prem AI model training, especially in regulated industries. We've been hesitant to use cloud-based media analysis for compliance reasons, and this solves that. I can see our data science team using this to curate datasets from internal meeting recordings without needing a dedicated labeling pipeline.

@kobejordan That’s a really interesting use case.
We originally built Clipto around search and retrieval, but dataset curation is a natural extension, especially when recordings can’t leave a secure environment.
We’ve heard similar concerns from teams in legal, healthcare, and other privacy-sensitive domains where cloud workflows simply aren’t an option.
Would love to learn more about the kinds of data your team is working with.

I’ve been looking for a way to search my local media assets without opening every single folder. This just saved me an hour of digging today.
Clipto
@mona_xx That’s exactly the problem we built Clipto for. 😄
Too often we know we have the clip somewhere, but finding it means opening folder after folder. Glad Clipto saved you an hour today!

This solves a problem I didn't even realize was draining my energy every day. No more hunting for files. Instantly installed.
Clipto
@rydensun Really glad to hear that — and thanks for installing so quickly.This is exactly the kind of everyday friction we hoped to address. File hunting feels small in the moment, but when it happens day after day, it can quietly consume a surprising amount of time and attention.Would love to hear how Clipto works with your own media after you’ve had a chance to try it：）
Been following the journey on LinkedIn and so glad to see you guys finally launch! The search functionality is spooky good.
Clipto
Thanks @sandy_liusy Sandy! 🙏
Search has definitely become the heart of the product. There’s something magical about finding a specific moment from terabytes of media in seconds.
To be honest, I’m still surprised by some of the details Clipto catches. Every now and then it finds something in a frame that I completely missed while filming. 😄
