Local-first video library management

You've already said everything you need. You just can't find it yet.

ReelVault turns your video library into a searchable knowledge base. Transcribe everything locally, search every word you've ever said, and jump to the exact second. No cloud. No subscription. No AI-generated content. Your words. Your machine. Your tool.

Hundreds of hours. Zero recall.

You've been publishing videos for years. Somewhere in that library is the perfect explanation of your pricing model, the story that closes deals, the framework your clients love. But you can't find it without scrubbing through hours of footage.

Every new video feels like starting from zero — even though you've already said everything you need. The problem isn't creation. It's retrieval.

Your video backlog is an appreciating asset trapped behind a retrieval problem. ReelVault is the index.

Five minutes to proof.

The first time you open ReelVault, you point it at a single video. It transcribes the audio locally — on your machine, no upload — and builds a searchable index. Then you type a word you know you said.

Results appear instantly. Timestamp. Context. A button that jumps you to the exact second. That's the product. Everything else — batch processing, clip export, AI-powered search — builds on that moment.

01

Point

Point ReelVault at a folder. It finds every video file and adds it to your library. Your files stay where they are — nothing is copied or moved.

02

Transcribe

One click. ReelVault extracts the audio and transcribes it locally — on your machine, no upload. Medium accuracy model by default — swap to larger models if you want higher precision.

03

Search

Full-text search across every word in every transcript. Type a phrase, get every instance across your entire library with timestamps. Click a result and the video jumps to that exact moment.

04

Clip

Highlight a section of transcript. Mark it as a clip. Export as a standalone video with fades and loudness normalisation. Aspect ratio options for YouTube, Reels, Shorts, or TikTok. Deterministic — the output is exactly what you defined, nothing more.

The line we don't cross.

ReelVault does:
  • Transcribe your videos locally using open-source AI
  • Index every word with millisecond timestamps
  • Full-text search across your entire library
  • Export clips with deterministic processing
  • Suggest clip boundaries via optional local LLM
  • Natural language search via optional local LLM
  • Store everything on your machine in human-readable files
ReelVault never:
  • Generates content, scripts, or ideas for you
  • Uploads your content to any server
  • Requires internet after activation
  • Makes creative decisions — every edit is yours
  • Charges you monthly — one purchase, you own it
  • Touches your source files — originals are never modified

ReelVault will never generate content for you. Your words. Your ideas. We help you find them.

What your library is actually worth.

247
hours of spoken content in a typical 200-video library. That's a book, a course, and a year of social posts — if you could search it.

Most creators treat old videos as dead content. But every video you've published contains frameworks, stories, objections handled, expertise demonstrated. ReelVault makes that library searchable in hours, not months.

The counter in the app tracks it: hours transcribed, words indexed, clips defined. Your library appreciates the more you use it.

One price. No surprises.

What's under the hood.

01

Local transcription engine bundled

Open-source speech-to-text, built in. Multiple model sizes from fast to precise. Runs on CPU or GPU. No cloud. No API keys. No upload.

02

Professional media processing bundled

Audio extraction, clip export, fades, loudness normalisation. Industry-standard processing. Deterministic — same input, same output, every time.

03

Local database embedded

Transcripts, search index, job state, and operation receipts. Single file. Portable. No server process. No external database to configure.

04

Native desktop application

~10MB install. Low idle RAM. Native performance. Your machine's resources go to transcription, not to running the app.

05

Local AI optional, you install separately

Plug in your own local language model for clip suggestions, natural language search, and auto-summarisation. Runs on your machine. No local AI? No problem — core search works perfectly without it.

Read the book?

If you've read "500 Views Is Enough," you already understand why your video library is an undervalued asset. Chapter 10 describes the searchable library. Chapter 8 describes repurposing as recovery. ReelVault is the tool that makes both real.

If you have 50+ videos sitting on a drive, start here. The book explains the philosophy. The software does the work.
