Disc Scanner

Disc Scanner Poster

DC2 (Disk Scanner) is a native macOS application that transforms a drawer full of disconnected hard drives into a single, instantly searchable, semantically indexed media library.

Instead of stopping at filenames, DC2 scans your volumes, opens your media, and builds a persistent offline index of what your files actually contain. It extracts resolution, spoken-word transcripts, on-screen text, dominant colors, geographic locations, and musical genres using entirely on-device processing.

Key Capabilities

• Deep Semantic Search: Query your entire archive for “sunset drone wide shot” or search for a specific spoken phrase from an interview—across disconnected drives, in milliseconds.

• True Offline Browsing: Navigate unmounted drives using native Miller Columns. When a drive is connected, DC2 seamlessly switches to live mode, enabling file previews and “Reveal in Finder” options.

• 100% Local Inference: No cloud APIs, no subscriptions, and zero privacy exposure. Every keyword extraction, AI transcription, and frame analysis runs directly on your Mac’s silicon.

• Intelligent Deduplication: FastHash signature tracking ensures that if a clip exists on four different backup drives, it is analyzed only once.

• Granular Filtering: Filter by exact frame rate, orientation, sample rate, aesthetic score, or a specific dominant color palette.

Who It’s For

Built for video editors, photographers, audio engineers, and digital archivists who manage terabytes of raw footage, decade-spanning RAW photo archives, or massive sound libraries spread across multiple physical storage volumes.

The DC2 Difference

Point DC2 at a drive, let it build its index, and never mount a drive “just to look” again.
