I just released my first piece of software. It’s called File Mind. It lets you search your photos, videos and sounds by describing what’s in them, instead of remembering what you named them. Google Embedding2 model embeds everything locally. Everything runs locally on your computer, and it’s free and open source.

It started when Google released Embedding 2. I saw Tatiana use it on her MJ Pro website and thought: why not bring this to local files? Anyone who works with AI knows how many files pile up over time. Searching them by meaning felt like the obvious next step.

I built it in 5 days with Opus 5.5 and Codex. Opus was great at turning the idea into a working foundation. Codex was excellent at fixing bugs and refining the visuals, which I think comes down to computer use. I really enjoyed the process.

The name and idea were inspired by mymind, by Tobias van Schneider. I admire everything he makes, and his newsletters are excellent. I’m honestly unsure where inspiration ends and copying begins, but for this purpose it felt right from a UX point of view. I’m happy to hear his thoughts.

The promo was made with HyperFrames, with music by Phi Hoang.

It’s my first build, so I’d really value your feedback. Please DM about any query.
