Show HN: AI search for every photo and every frame of video on macOS

SCM is a local-first macOS tool that enables semantic search across your personal photo libraries and video files.

The tool uses local vision models to index images and video frames, allowing users to search for memories using natural language. It supports OCR for text detection and Whisper for spoken dialogue, enabling precise navigation to specific moments within video files. All processing occurs on-device, ensuring data privacy without cloud uploads.
