AlgoMommy organizes raw video files into an existing folder hierarchy based on short spoken instructions you say inside the recording (e.g. “Hey Cleo, this is wedding B-roll - tag it green” or “Hey Cleo, this is a New York sunrise”). After recording, drop the clips into AlgoMommy; it listens for the instructions you said during recording and copies the files to the appropriate sub-folder.

Auth is required because the service uses paid LLM calls.
What leaves your machine / privacy:
- No raw video or audio is uploaded.
- Audio is extracted + transcribed locally.
- The only data sent is: (1) ~30s text transcription snippets for segments that appear to address “Cleo”, and (2) the list of relative destination folder paths under the root you selected (so the model can choose a folder).
- Those snippets are used to decide destination folder + tags/metadata.
Why “Cleo” (and why natural language):
- WhisperKit is accurate but slow, Apple's SpeechAnalyzer is fast but less accurate. AlgoMommy uses SpeechAnalyzer to quickly find "Cleo"-addressed segments, then re-transcribes just those ~30s chunks with WhisperKit for accuracy.
Safety:
- AlgoMommy only "copies" videos, it never "moves" / "overwrites" videos.
Inspiration:
- Initially this was a Python script for my partner, to solve this very issue. I subsequently decided to "productize" the solution as a macOS app.
I’m looking for feedback on:
1) Does this solve a significant problem for you?
2) Is the workflow clear and robust in real-world usage?
3) Today you must pre-create the folder hierarchy: is that acceptable, or should the app be able to create target folders in some cases? If folder creation is valuable, what rules would make it safe/predictable?
4) Any voice commands you’d want beyond “organize/tag this clip” (e.g. “start a new video file here”)?
Happy to answer questions and go deep on implementation details if anyone’s interested.
