LOCAL PROCESSING / NATIVE SEARCH
Spotlight already indexes file metadata and text in many supported documents. NOMEN adds local AI descriptions and keywords for what images actually show — without moving or uploading the originals.
Add existing folders, let local models understand their contents, then search naturally in Finder. Your folder structure remains yours.

CLIP provides a fast local baseline. An optional Ollama VLM adds prose plus structured visual facets, with separate controls for Compact, Detailed or Exhaustive depth and a 20–50 Spotlight term maximum.
NOMEN writes native metadata to your files. Finder and Spotlight can retrieve them without a second proprietary search interface.
Multiple checked sources, clear processing stages, useful live feedback and safe finalization when you stop a long VLM job.

NOMEN works where your files already live. Derived catalog data stays beside the source and can be rebuilt.
