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.
