Features

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

No bloat, no learning curve, no enterprise complexity

Powerful Tagging

Create any tag you want. Apply to single clips or batch-tag hundreds at once. Remove tags just as easily. Your organizational system, your rules.

Boolean Search

Search with AND/OR operators. Find "drone AND sunset" or "client-acme OR client-beta"-complex queries, instant results.

Date Filtering

Filter by date filmed or date indexed. Narrow down to a specific shoot day or find everything from last month.

One-Click Indexing

Point at any drive or folder. Clipthesis extracts thumbnails and metadata automatically. ProRes, H.264, H.265 all supported.

Cloud Sync

Access your library from any Mac. Tags sync automatically. Organize on your laptop, search on your desktop.

Offline First

No internet? No problem. Everything works locally. Browse your entire catalog even with drives disconnected.

How It Works

From chaos to searchable in minutes

No training required. No IT department needed.

1

Index your drives

Click "Index Drive," pick a folder, and let Clipthesis scan. It'll extract thumbnails, read metadata, and catalog every clip. Takes about 1 second per file.

2

Tag what matters

Create tags that fit your workflow: "drone," "interview," "broll," "client-acme." Select multiple clips and batch-tag in one click. Remove tags just as easily.

3

Find anything instantly

Search by tag with AND/OR operators, filter by date, or browse the grid. Click "Reveal in Finder" to jump straight to the file-even if the drive is disconnected, you'll know exactly which one to plug in.

"I looked at Frame.io, Iconik, and a bunch of enterprise DAMs. They all wanted $500/month and a sales call. Clipthesis just works, and I was tagging clips within 10 minutes of downloading it."
