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.

Could you build this?
Partial Developing a performant native macOS video indexing app that decodes varied video formats locally and runs multimodal frame-by-frame embeddings requires advanced Apple native media engineering.
What it would actually take: Building this requires a native macOS app using Swift, AVFoundation, and CoreML. The primary hurdles are managing massive video file decoding pipelines without exhausting memory, sampling keyframes efficiently, generating embeddings via Apple Vision or on-device CLIP models, and storing vectors in a fast local vector index (like sqlite-vec or HNSW). This demands expertise in local media processing pipelines and Apple platform systems programming.
