A visual map of your video collection

Video folders tend to spread across drives, cameras, exports, and archives. Video Atlas builds a Photos-style indexed library with previews while leaving your source files where they are. Filter, sort, and group the collection by source, date, duration, file size, format, resolution, availability, and other useful details.

Describe a scene to search by what happens in the video, explore automatically discovered collection themes, or start from one clip to find others with similar visual content. Private People search groups recurring faces and lets you select a photo to find matching videos. The bundled TinyCLIP and face-recognition models run through Core ML on your Mac, so videos, search terms, selected photos, and AI inference are not sent to an external provider.
