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.
@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.

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. 😄
This feels like what the Apple 'Photos' search should have been for professional video files. Super impressed.
Clipto
@limxn6 High praise — thank you. 😊
Apple Photos is great for memories. Clipto is built for work: terabytes of raw footage, interviews, production assets — all searchable locally, offline, instantly.
Glad it resonates. Let me know what you find when you try it.

A local AI tool that actually delivers on speed. Big fan of what you're building, Cecilia!"

@vermouth2333 Thank you so much and really appreciate it. Speed was one of the things we cared about most when building Clipto, so it means a lot to hear that it feels right in actual use. Would love to hear how it works with your own footage as you keep trying it.
