ByteDetective

What is ByteDetective?

ByteDetective is a desktop app (currently available for MacOS) that acts as a semantic search engine for your photos. The aim is to make searching for images on your desktop quick and easy.

Images are difficult to search; they often don't have a really intuitive filename, and you have to dig a lot to find them. Wouldn't it make more sense to search for them based on their content (e.g "eating pizza with friends")?

Why it's cool:

• ? Ease of use: Say goodbye to the endless struggle of navigating through countless files and folders to find that one picture
• ? Intelligent: Even if your description is vague, ByteDetective will deliver pretty decent results, giving you images that match your words.
• ⚡ Fast: Lightning-fast performance as the inference is made with Rust.
