Local AI media search

This cluster consists of offline desktop applications that leverage local AI to index and search personal media—photos, videos, and sounds—by natural-language descriptions, with a strong emphasis on privacy. The dated history before the index start includes only three entries, which is too thin to identify a trend shape. OpenBot leads on traction with 2 stars, while other members have none.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
