Search your footage by what you saw — or what was said.

Apple Photos and Google Photos search your snapshots. DAAAM searches your footage — reading and transcribing every frame with on-device AI, so you find any moment by what you saw or the exact words spoken. Built for ProRes, RAW, drone and external drives. Nothing ever leaves your Mac.

Custom AI model. On your machine. No internet. No API fees. No subscription. Ever.

Your footage stays yours.
No cloud upload. No internet required. The AI runs on your machine — not someone else's server.

An AI model. On your machine. Reading every frame.

A hard drive full of MVI_3842.mp4 files isn't a library. It's a graveyard. Every parent who's lost an afternoon looking for a birthday video knows this. So does every creator who's re-shot something they already had. Every journalist who's scrubbed 40 minutes of tape to find a quote.

When you install DAAAM, you install a custom AI model trained to understand visual footage. It runs entirely on your Mac — no internet connection, no API key, no subscription to any AI service. It reads every frame: the light, the mood, what's happening, who's there. It transcribes every word of dialogue, fused to the exact frame it was spoken. Then it waits for you to describe what you remember.

And because your entire library is indexed, you can connect it to Claude or ChatGPT — your AI searches your real archive and returns exact answers grounded in what you actually captured.

"find my daughter's first steps"
Parents with years of family footage
"the shot where the sun hits the ridge"
Creators who shoot faster than they tag
"when did Marcus mention the contract?"
Journalists with hundreds of hours of interviews
"every golden hour clip from Cape Town"
Travel shooters with drives full of trips
"onboarding video, the compliance bit"
Teams managing training and meeting recordings
"the ceremony, wide, when she cried"
Event videographers with 300 GB per shoot

Natural-language search.

”Handheld, golden hour, kids running.” That's a valid query. DAAAM matches by *meaning* — your words don't have to match the description, and the right clip surfaces in as soon as you finish typing.

AI reads every frame.

Not “dog, table, lamp.” A real description: the light, the mood, what's happening, who's there. Works on every clip and every photo — most camera RAW formats supported. The metadata you wish you'd written.

Dialogue fused with the frame.

Search a line — get the shot. Search the shot — see what was said. The transcript and the visual live at the same timecode, in 100 languages.

Export to your NLE.

One click — your search hits become an XML or EDL timeline. Hand it directly to Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or Resolve with your in and out points intact.

GPS, but private.

DAAAM reverse-geocodes your GPS on-device. Browse the library by country, city, neighbourhood — coordinates never leave your laptop.

Ask Claude about your footage.

Connect DAAAM to Claude Desktop or Claude Code in one click. Ask “find my best drone shots” and Claude searches your real archive.

Your library becomes a database your AI can actually search.

Because DAAAM indexes everything — visuals, transcripts, location, drive — your AI assistant can query it in plain language. Connect to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any MCP-compatible AI tool in one click, no terminal required. Ask about your footage the same way you'd ask a colleague who'd watched every clip. Your footage stays on your drive; your AI just gets to talk to it.

"Find the clip where she blows out the birthday candles."Searches visuals and transcripts across your entire archive — ranked results with exact file paths on your drive.
"Find every clip where someone mentions the contract."Searches every transcript fused to your footage — word-level, timecoded to the exact frame where it was spoken.
"Find the onboarding video — the part about compliance."Works on training videos, meeting recordings, and webinars just as well as personal footage.
"Which of my clips are on the drive I have with me right now?"DAAAM knows which external drive each file lives on and whether it's currently mounted.

In Settings → Connect to AI, toggle "Connect Claude Desktop" — DAAAM edits the config file on your behalf. For Claude Code or other MCP clients: copy one command from the same panel and paste it in your terminal. Full setup guide →

Three steps, from raw card to total recall.

No manual tagging. No import workflow to configure. No cloud account required.

01

Drop in your folder.

That's it. No manual tagging, no renaming, no import workflow to configure. DAAAM takes it from there.

02

It reads every frame.

A real description written for every clip — what's in it, who's there, what was said, where it was shot. All on your Mac. Nothing leaves your drive.

03

Type what you remember.

”The argument near the window. Low light.” That's enough. Describe the look or quote the words — the right clip surfaces in as soon as you finish typing.

Search, library, inspector, discover — one window.

Your entire library. One catalogue file. No second window. No tab-switching. Built to get out of your way — whether you're putting together a video or just trying to find a photo from 2019.

Local AI by default. Cloud when it makes sense.

On Apple Silicon with 16 GB RAM, DAAAM runs everything on-device — no upload, no ongoing cost. But local AI competes with your edit, throttles on a warm laptop, and slows under sustained load. Cloud analysis runs on dedicated hardware at a consistent pace, without touching your machine. One toggle. Same quality. Your footage stays local either way — only lightweight proxy frames are ever sent, never your originals.

Runs on your Mac.Native macOS on Apple Silicon. AI, search, storage — all local. Works on a plane. Works offline.
Nothing leaves the box.By default, every frame is analysed on-device — your originals, ProRes files, and RAW photos never leave your machine. If you opt into cloud analysis, only a compressed proxy frame is sent. Never your originals.
Knows your offline drives.Search a clip that's on a drive on your shelf — DAAAM tells you which drive to plug in. Your catalogue stays searchable, even when the footage isn't mounted.
Export to your NLE.One click — your search hits become an XML or EDL timeline. Hand it directly to Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, or DaVinci Resolve with your in and out points intact.
One open catalogue.Your entire index in a single portable file. No proprietary lock-in. Copy it to back up — copy it to move to a new machine.
Cloud when you choose it.Not every Mac has 16 GB RAM. Cloud analysis gives those machines the same quality, without competing with your edit or throttling on a warm laptop. It's opt-in — local by default. When you choose it, only a compressed proxy frame is sent, never your originals.
