Invenio requires macOS and is built exclusively for Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3, M4 and later). Intel-based Macs are not supported due to the high performance requirements of the AI models.

Invenio is an AI video search application for macOS that lets you find specific moments inside your videos and photos using natural language. Unlike traditional media browsers that rely on filenames, folders, or manual tags, Invenio uses advanced machine learning to understand the actual content of your media — what's visible on screen, what's being said, and what text appears in every frame.
The app performs three types of AI search. Semantic visual search analyzes every frame and lets you describe what you're looking for in plain English — "a person walking through rain," "close-up of hands typing," or "aerial shot of a city at dusk." Transcript search uses speech recognition to transcribe dialogue, voiceovers, and interviews, then indexes every spoken word so you can search for specific phrases or topics. OCR search reads on-screen text from slides, subtitles, signs, and documents, making it searchable alongside visual and audio content.
All processing is done locally on your Mac using optimized AI models — no internet connection, no cloud uploads, and no third-party servers. This makes Invenio ideal for professionals working with sensitive footage, NDA-protected material, or simply anyone who prefers to keep their data private. The app supports terabytes of media across internal drives, external SSDs, and RAID arrays, returning search results in milliseconds regardless of library size.
Invenio is designed for video editors, documentary filmmakers, YouTubers, content creators, journalists, photographers, and podcast editors. It integrates with professional editing workflows through its macOS Menu Bar interface, letting you drag and drop search results directly into any NLE timeline without switching windows. Whether you're managing footage for a feature film or searching through years of vlog recordings, Invenio replaces hours of manual scrubbing and folder browsing with instant, intelligent retrieval.
