But where have you kept it?

It finds your media itself
No folder pickers, no paths. You don’t know where everything is. That’s the problem it exists to solve.
It reads what is already there
Dates, cameras, lenses, GPS, duration. Seconds, not hours, and no AI required.
Your own AI describes the rest
It hands pictures to Claude, and one description covers a whole shoot, a single caption can cover hundreds of files.
It never forgets
Rename or move a file and the index follows. Delete it and it still knows what you had, and which drive it was on.
Unplugged drives stay searchable
That is the whole point.
What it will not do
Upload anything
There is no server and no account.
Touch your files
It never modifies, moves, renames or deletes one of them.
Read your private documents into a search index
An ID card or a medical report is labelled by type only, never by its contents.
Every write and every delete Yellide makes is listed on the privacy page, and a test fails the build if that list ever stops being complete.
