LIMN gives you the search quality of a modern cloud media app, in a desktop app that keeps everything on your machine. Here's how it fits together.
Pick a vision-language model and LIMN fetches it once. After that, indexing and search run locally and do not require a connection.
Point LIMN at any folder. It builds a private, on-device search index, then processes only new or changed images and video on later searches.
Describe what you remember. LIMN ranks your library by semantic similarity and jumps you straight to the match.
Type a concept, mood or scene like “brutalist concrete” or “golden hour on a platform”, in English and 18 other languages. You never have to tag anything or remember a filename.
Indexing and search happen on your machine and work offline after setup. Internet access is used for setup downloads, activation, license validation and update checks. It is never used to upload your library or your searches.
Scan footage frame by frame, find a single visual moment inside a multi-hour recording, and jump straight to that second.
Aim LIMN at your existing directories or a connected NAS and search them as they are, no reorganizing required. The local index persists, so unchanged files are never processed twice.
Choose the model that fits your accuracy and speed needs. Newer and better models arrive with updates.
The desktop interface talks to a search service bound to your own computer. File previews are limited to folders you explicitly choose, and engine downloads are checksum-verified before installation.
Free for 14 days with no account. After that, one perpetual license.
