What it does

Offline Files is a fast, read-only catalog for Mac users with files spread across external, network, and internal drives. Search folders and files even when a drive is unplugged. Built for photographers, filmmakers, and anyone with a large archive. Everything stays local: no account, cloud, or telemetry.

Offline Files is a powerful macOS app that allows you to search all your files on connected drives – even when they're no longer connected.

Offline Files is a Mac app for anyone with too many hard drives. Plug a drive in once. Offline Files scans filenames, paths, sizes, creation and modification dates, thumbnails, and free space, then stores everything locally on your Mac. No cloud, no server, no account. From then on, your files stay findable, even when the drive is unplugged. Because it integrates with macOS Spotlight, your offline drives can show up when you hit Cmd+Space. Smart Analyze, an optional on-device AI layer, can look inside your photos and tag what’s there. Search for “dog” in fourteen languages and it finds dog photos across every drive you own, plugged in or not. Built for photographers, editors, filmmakers,…from paulkothe.de

Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
