How it works
The most advanced local video intelligence engine ever built for macOS.
Smart Indexing
Point FootageFox at your footage folders. It watches for new files and automatically catalogs everything — no manual tagging required.
Neural Processing
A local engine extracts keyframes, analyzes visual content, and builds a semantic index of every clip — entirely on your machine.
Semantic Retrieval
Search in plain English. Describe what you need — "sunset over mountains" or "interview with red background" — and get instant results.
Privacy-First Architecture
Every frame is processed locally on your Mac. Your footage never leaves your machine — no cloud uploads, no third-party servers, no compromises.
