Find the image or video moment you half-remember

Semantic processing

Search for “brutalist concrete”, “neon at night” or “wireframe sketches” in English and 18 other languages. LIMN matches what’s in an image or video frame, whatever the file happens to be called.

Point at any folder

Point LIMN at your existing folders, however messy, or at a NAS, and search them as they are. There’s nothing to import or tag first.

Private where it matters

Your images, video, search queries and local index stay on your machine. Once set up, search works without an internet connection.

Who it's for

Built for independent creative work

From one freelancer to a small studio, LIMN searches the folders you already use without turning them into a cloud library.

Freelancers & solo creators

Search years of client shoots, footage, references and project assets without tagging a single file. The Solo license covers commercial work.
