Metadata worthy
of your craft.
Metadata worthy
of your craft.
Drop a folder of clips, or photos. Curator reads every frame, GPS coordinate and tech spec, then writes titles, descriptions and keywords for every stock platform you sell to. Video and stills, every major format, finally named. Your library stays on your Mac — only representative frames are sent for AI inference, and only with your own API key.
Lifetime license · 144 AED / $39 · First 1000 contributors
For stock contributors. For archivists. For anyone whose footage deserves to be findable.
Stock contributors
Submit to 8 platforms in one workflow. Curator generates compliant metadata for each. No re-typing per library.
Footage archivists
Wedding shooters, travel creators, anyone with TB of 'IMG_xxxx.mov'. Curator builds a searchable local database with CSV, JSON, HTML gallery, and XMP sidecars.
Solo professionals
Production companies and freelancers cataloging client work. No cloud DAM subscription, no monthly fee. Your footage is yours.
A professional instrument, not a startup landing.
Video and photos, every format
Curator reads representative frames from every clip and every photo. Video: ProRes, DNxHR/HD, H.264, HEVC/H.265, AV1, VP9, BRAW, R3D, ARRIRAW, CinemaDNG, XAVC, XF-AVC, MXF. Photo RAW: CR2, CR3, NEF, NRW, ARW, SRF, SR2, RAF, ORF, ORI, RW2, DNG, PEF, SRW, RWL, IIQ, 3FR, FFF, X3F, KDC, DCR, MRW, MOS, NXR. Plus JPEG, HEIC, HEIF, AVIF, TIFF, PNG, WebP. Pulls GPS, camera, lens, codec, resolution, frame rate. Finally, everything named.
Per-platform compliance
One master record, mapped to each stock library's exact title length, keyword cap, category enum and CSV columns. Pond5 gets 500 chars and 50 keywords. Envato gets 80 chars and 15 tags. You don't think about it.
Your footage stays on your Mac
Frames are extracted on-device. Files are renamed on disk via the File System Access API. No proxy, no telemetry. AI features use your own API key and send only representative frames for inference — never your full library.
Six steps. Folder in. Catalog out.
Every clip, every detail. One quiet workspace.
Browse your library, inspect metadata, refine titles, descriptions and keywords. Built for the way editors actually work.

Beta users, on the record.
Six early testers from Curator's private beta. Stock contributors, archivists and studios shipping real work with it today.
“Renames and tags 400 clips before my coffee cools. The Pond5 CSV used to take a weekend. Now it's a coffee.”
“Eight years of 'IMG_xxxx.mov' finally got searchable. My local archive feels like a real DAM, no subscription.”
“GPS metadata + auto descriptions per location. I shipped a 200-clip Iceland set to Adobe Stock the day I got home.”
“We were quoted €8k/yr for a cloud DAM. Curator does what we needed, on disk, no upload.”
“It writes descriptions that actually describe the shot. Not generic AI slop. The keywords are usable.”
“Footage stays on my drive. Client NDAs are happy, my workflow is faster. That's the whole pitch, and it works.”
Questions, answered.
Yes. Curator is live and available to the first 1000 contributors as a lifetime license for 144 AED / $39 (one-time). After the first 1000 licenses are sold, pricing moves to a subscription model.
Payments, invoices and refunds are handled by Lemon Squeezy (a Stripe partner) acting as Merchant of Record. You'll receive an order confirmation and receipt by email immediately after purchase.
You receive your license key and the macOS installer by email, and can create or sign in to your private account to see your license, downloads, documents and support thread.
No. Just check out — an account is created on purchase so we can link your lifetime license to you securely.
Yes. Each client has a private workspace. You only ever see your own account, license, orders, documents, and support thread. Other users and admins-from-the-outside cannot see your data.
Your footage and metadata never touch our servers. Frame analysis happens on your machine. Only tiny JPEG thumbnails are used for analysis. Your video files stay on your disk.
Curator works just as well as a personal DAM. The Local Data Management bundle generates a searchable CSV, JSON database, browsable HTML gallery, and Lightroom-compatible XMP sidecars — all stored locally.
Native browser decode: H.264, H.265/HEVC, VP9, AV1 in MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM. Pro codecs (ProRes, DNxHD, R3D, BRAW, ARRIRAW) via included Companion preprocessor script.
macOS today (Apple Silicon + Intel). Windows version in Q4 2026. Linux later, depending on demand. Lifetime-licence holders get all platforms included.
Curator runs entirely on your machine. No upload, no monthly fees, no vendor lock-in, no storage limits. Cloud DAMs are great for teams; Curator is for individuals and small studios who want full control.
