Orcah Studio: A local-first video agent that can search your videos

5•iliashad•3h ago
Hey,

I'm Ilias, the founder of Orcah Studio. I'm building a local-first desktop app (Mac OS available now) that can transcribe audio, recognize faces, detect objects, perform OCR, and describe video scenes.

Plus, a local-first video agent that understands your prompt and finds the exact moment you're looking for. I fine-tune the agent based on an open-weight model (an 8-billion-parameter model) with tool calling.

You can check out all the features here: https://orcah.app.

Plus, I have an MCP that you can connect to Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode to search your indexed videos: https://orcah.app/mcp

Plus, I have a source-available version that can be self-hosted via Docker (https://github.com/iliashad/edit-mind) (Rebranded from Edit Mind to Orcah Studio)

Plus, you can search your video moments using a reference image or color https://orcah.app/features/visual-search or an audio file https://orcah.app/features/audio-search.

And transcription with speaker diarization: https://orcah.app/features/transcription

I set the battery to low power mode on the website and it didn't do anything and now I'm profoundly disappointed.

On a more serious note, I think on-device object/face recognition search is a great idea. Having the cta button on the site go to Polar is a little unexpected. It'd be nice to be able to try the app without going through the hoops of running it in a Docker container, if that's the same app or system?
