Video Library Search (Windows)
A fast, offline desktop app to organize and find content in large video libraries. It indexes your files, generates transcripts, and lets you search by words, tags, and common metadata—without sending data to the cloud.
Overview
Video Library Search is designed for anyone managing large collections of video content—whether you're a content creator, editor, researcher, or media professional. Find exactly what you need in seconds, not hours.
Built with modern technology and optimized for performance, this Windows desktop application runs entirely offline, keeping your data private and secure on your own machine.

How It Works
1. Index Your Library
Point the app to your video folders. It scans and extracts metadata using FFmpeg, building a fast SQLite-based index.

Automatically transcribe videos using Whisper.cpp—runs locally on your machine with GPU acceleration support.
3. Organize with Tags
Create custom tags and assign them to videos. Build a flexible organizational system that works for your workflow.
4. Search & Filter
Combine transcript search with 10+ metadata filters to instantly find exactly what you need across thousands of videos.
