Desktop · the Polimake local app

Genuinely local, not a web app in disguise

It runs on your computer and works against your folders. Nothing to upload, no transfer to wait for, and no connection required to open your own material.

Whisper running locally, for free

Transcribe all your material on your own computer, with no per-minute cost and without the file leaving it. Transcripts are indexed and become searchable alongside the rest of your library.

Open-source video and image editing

A free, actively maintained video editor and a graphics editor for everyday work. No subscription, and no one deciding to raise the price in January.

Your AI, over MCP or the command line

Connect ChatGPT or Claude over MCP and ask your own archive from wherever you already work. Or use Polyglot CLI and let the AI handle the files directly. Bring whichever AI you want: it is deliberately agnostic.

Search your disk without uploading anything

The same search that runs in the cloud walks your local folders. Material you will not or cannot upload stays searchable by what is said, what is shown and what is written on screen — and stays where it is.

Local and cloud, one library

Work offline against the local copy and sync whenever you want. What you upload shows up in Media for the rest of the team; what they upload lands on your disk.
