MediaTrove

Your local media library — offline by design. Browse any folder, then add Library Sources for thumbnails, tags, and optional AI search.

v1.0.0 · Windows & macOS

MediaTrove main window: preview, File Explorer, and media grid

Visual search

Local CLIP queries like v: building, or draw a region on an image or paused frame. Nothing leaves this PC.

MediaTrove visual search results for v: building

Find text in images

Search on-screen and burned-in text with ocr: — for example ocr: knight. Part of the optional AI Model Manager pack.

Search by tags

Filter your indexed library with t: — find everything tagged friends in one pass. Move tags between Available and the current file — add, remove, copy, and paste without leaving the preview.
