SEE
Select folders you already use. NOMEN detects supported images and documents incrementally, without importing them into another library.
LOCAL PROCESSING / NATIVE SEARCH
SEARCH WHAT'S INSIDE. LEAVE FILES WHERE THEY ARE.
Local AI makes images and documents searchable through the tools already built into your computer — without moving or uploading your files.

FROM FOLDER TO NATIVE SEARCH.
Add existing folders, let local models understand their contents, then search naturally in Finder. Your folder structure remains yours.
02
DESCRIBE
CLIP provides a fast local baseline. An optional Ollama VLM adds precise descriptions and 20–50 useful search terms per image.
03
FIND
NOMEN writes native metadata to your files. Finder and Spotlight can retrieve them without a second proprietary search interface.
ONE LOCAL WORKBENCH.
Multiple checked sources, clear processing stages, useful live feedback and safe finalization when you stop a long VLM job.
