Metadata worthy
of your craft.
Drop a folder of clips. Curator reads every frame, GPS coordinate and tech spec — then writes title, description and keywords for every stock platform you sell to. Or catalogs your personal archive locally. Either way, your footage never leaves your machine.

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. Stays local, no cloud DAM subscription, no monthly fee. Your footage is yours.
A professional instrument, not a startup landing.
It watches every clip
Curator reads representative frames from every clip, plus GPS, codec, resolution and frame rate — to write metadata that actually describes the footage. Not just renames it.
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.
Nothing leaves your machine
Frames are extracted on-device. Files are renamed on disk via the File System Access API. No proxy, no telemetry, no cloud upload of your footage — ever.
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.
The Local Data Management bundle
For when your footage isn't for sale. It's for keeping.

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 for $39, 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.
A lifetime license to Curator (macOS app, ships July 1, 2026). No subscription, no future fees, free updates forever.
Your footage and metadata never touch our servers. Processing happens on your machine — we take zero markup, hold zero data.
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 from a folder of clips, 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.
Pricing details for inference will be shared closer to launch. Expect a fraction of a cent per clip on the default tier, with a faster low-cost mode for high-volume batches.
Never. Frames are extracted locally on your machine. Only tiny JPEG thumbnails are used for analysis — your video files themselves stay on your disk.
Full refund, no questions. Lemon Squeezy handles this with one click. The delivery date is July 1, 2026 and we'll email weekly progress updates until then.
macOS at launch (Apple Silicon + Intel). Windows version in Q4 2026. Linux later — depends on demand. Existing customers get all platforms free.
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.
