Curlo: Native AI seek to search out SFX and tune by way of describing it

Hello Product Hunt 👋

I’m the maker of Curlo, and in addition a part-time audiobook post-production editor.

Curlo began from an issue I stored operating into: once in a while what you need to listen to, however you have no idea the filename.

So I constructed Curlo — a local macOS app that allows you to seek your native sound library by way of describing what you listen.

For instance:
– heavy rain on a tin roof
– footsteps on gravel
– delicate piano melody
– quick metal hit
– darkish cinematic drone

Curlo analyzes the audio content material in the community to your Mac, then permits you to to find sounds by way of herbal language. The quest does now not want the report to already be named or tagged completely. Your audio recordsdata and seek queries keep on-device.

Key options:

– Semantic seek for native audio recordsdata (Totally offline)
– Metadata seek with instructions like /filename, /tag, /ucs, and /layout
– Drag clips into DAWs and apps like Professional Gear, Good judgment Professional, Reaper, Premiere Professional, and different gear
– An identical audio seek from a report or decided on area
– AI auto-tagging and UCS class strengthen
– Metadata studying, enhancing, and writing
– Localhost API for customized workflows

I’d love comments from sound designers, video editors, audiobook/podcast editors, tune manufacturers, and someone managing a big native audio library.

Thank you for checking it out!
