Hundreds of hours of footage, and you can never find the clip you need. TinySlate is a Mac app that uses AI or Apple's on-device models to tag your clips so you can search them like Spotlight. Most tools like this are built for studios — cloud, subscriptions, team seats. TinySlate's for solo shooters: footage stays on your Mac, no subscription, $45 once. Send your cut to FCP, Premiere, or Resolve.
Hey all — made this because I kept burning time hunting for footage I knew existed but couldn't find. Screen recordings, b-roll, old project folders, all of it just... lost in the pile.
I looked at the existing media asset management options first and most of them are built for post houses and teams — cloud storage, per-seat pricing, way more than a solo editor needs. TinySlate is the version of that for one person: it uses AI (or Apple's own on-device models, if you'd rather keep everything local and offline) to tag your clips with titles, keywords, mood, location, even transcripts and on-screen text — so you can actually search your footage instead of scrubbing through it.
Once you've pulled the clips you need, storyboard them into a sequence and send a rough cut straight to Final Cut, Premiere, or Resolve.
$45 flat, that's it, no subscription, no team plan you don't need. Built this for myself first, figured other solo shooters drowning in footage might want it too. Happy to answer anything.
