Show HN: AI-Powered Local Search for Photos and Videos on macOS

A new open-source project, SCM, has been introduced on Hacker News, offering users a local AI-powered search engine for their macOS photo and video libraries. The tool allows users to perform semantic searches across every frame of their video files and all stored images without requiring cloud connectivity. By leveraging local machine learning models, SCM indexes media files directly on the user's machine, ensuring privacy and data security. The project is designed to integrate seamlessly into the macOS environment, providing a fast and efficient way to retrieve specific visual content from large personal archives. This release highlights the growing trend of bringing sophisticated AI capabilities to local desktop environments, enabling powerful search functionality that was previously only available through centralized cloud services. The source code is currently available on GitHub for developers and users interested in local media indexing.
