How it works
- Add a folder or a drive. Photos, videos, a whole archive. New files are picked up by themselves.
- Seekframe looks at every frame — on your Mac. A model on the Neural Engine learns what is in each photo and each scene of each video. Quietly, in the background, without making your Mac hot.
- Describe the moment. Results appear as you type, the best first, with the exact time in the video. Space to look, Return to open at that second, drag it into Final Cut Pro.
Everything it should do
The exact second
Seekframe finds the moment inside the video, not just the file. Return opens it right there.
Every drive
External drives and NAS shares come and go. What Seekframe learned about them stays, so you can search a drive that isn't plugged in and see what is where.
Search with a picture
Drop a photo on the window, or choose More Like This on any result, to find the pictures and scenes that look like it.
Your words, your language
Describe it the way you remember it — in English, Spanish, Portuguese and many more.
Made for editors
Drag results into Final Cut Pro or Finder. Pro exports every found moment as markers on a timeline for Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve.
Everything stays on your Mac
Seekframe analyses your photos and videos with a model that runs on your Mac. No account, no cloud, no analytics, no crash reports. The Mac App Store edition doesn't even have permission to use the network.

Questions
Does Seekframe upload my photos or videos?
No. Everything is analysed on your Mac and stays there. Seekframe has no account, no cloud and collects nothing.
Which files does it search?
Photos in every format your Mac opens — JPEG, HEIC, PNG, RAW from most cameras — and videos in MP4, MOV and M4V, including HEVC and ProRes. MKV, WebM and AVI files are counted but not indexed, because macOS can't play them.
How long does indexing take?
On an M1 Pro, about 113 photos a second and an hour of video in about 26 seconds. You can search while it works: results appear as soon as the first files are done. Pause it any time.
Will it make my Mac hot or slow?
Seekframe uses the Neural Engine, which is built for exactly this and barely warms the Mac. It pauses by itself in Low Power Mode and when the Mac gets warm, and goes on where it stopped.
Does it work with external drives and network storage?
Yes, with Pro. When a drive is unplugged its results still show, marked as not connected; plug it back in and they open again. Anything new on it is indexed then.
How is this different from searching in Photos?
Photos searches only its own library. Seekframe searches the folders and drives where your files actually live — and finds the exact second inside long videos.
What does Pro cost?
$19.99, once. No subscription. The free version never expires.
