Hi Product Hunt! I am the creator of PhotoCore. Like many photographers and tech enthusiasts, I have terabytes of photos spread across external hard drives, old SSDs, and NAS units. Finding a specific image usually means plugging everything in, waiting, and guessing where it is. Cloud alternatives are expensive and compromise privacy. That is why I built PhotoCore. It is a native macOS app that brings local AI semantic search right to your Mac, keeping your data entirely private. The core engine allows you to search and browse your assets even when your external drives or NAS are completely disconnected and sitting in a drawer. We have also designed two unique features to explore your library: Semantic Bridge: This feature allows you to select any two photos and uncovers the visual and conceptual story that connects them. Constellation: This tool semantically organizes your gallery, automatically grouping your photos into meaningful life events like weddings or travel memories. PhotoCore is free to try for up to 200 indexed images. To celebrate our launch, we are running a special promotion until July 15. You can unlock the full, unlimited version for a one-time purchase of $24.99 instead of the regular $59.99. There are no subscriptions. I would love to get your feedback, answer your questions, and hear what features you want to see next. Thank you for checking it out!
