About Clipto

Clipto is a powerful, privacy-focused media search tool designed for Mac users who handle vast amounts of video, audio, and document files. Unlike cloud-based solutions, it operates entirely locally, ensuring sensitive data stays on the device. Leveraging AI, Clipto automatically tags and indexes media content by recognizing people, scenes, dialogues, and other contextual elements, enabling users to find specific moments through natural language queries. Its impressive speed allows it to process several terabytes of media quickly; for example, indexing 2TB of videos on a MacBook Pro M5 in just 24 hours. This makes it an ideal solution for professionals, researchers, or anyone with large media libraries seeking quick, accurate, and private search capabilities without relying on cloud uploads.
