Description
Video Atlas brings videos from different folders and external drives into one library on your Mac, without moving your files. Browse indexed previews even when a drive is unplugged, so you can find a clip before reconnecting it. Search by scene or person, find similar videos, and review duplicates. AI processing runs locally on your Mac. An iPhone and iPad companion lets you browse, search, and stream from your Mac over your local network.

Could you build this?
Partial Scanning disconnected volumes and caching video thumbnails is straightforward, but local video search by scene, person detection, and duplicate detection requires local ML model pipelines on macOS.
What it would actually take: Built with Swift/macOS AppKit, using SQLite to catalog offline volume UUIDs and file paths. The complex components involve extracting frames via AVFoundation and feeding them through local Vision framework models or embedded ONNX runtimes (CLIP for scene search, face embedding models for person recognition, and perceptual video hashing for duplicate detection) while managing Mac hardware resource limits.
