reverscan

While running a design studio, my work involves sending files to clients and it's fairly normal for them to come back months or sometimes years later asking for edits. By that time, they would have changed the filename, or sometimes they would just send a screenshot of the file they wanted edited. This would mean searching through my emails, going through multiple hard-drives to find those files. And that would make locating those files next to impossible. There have been times when I've spent days looking for files or genuinely gotten pissed off that they renamed my disciplined naming + finding system. So I decided to make reverscan to fix this problem. I no longer need to care about file names or a disciplined storage hierarchy (though you should probably still do that for your own sanity). I hope this brings you some peace of mind.

Local-first with offline external drive search is the killer feature here — Spotlight fails the moment you unplug the drive. That alone solves a real pain for anyone managing large asset libraries. The visual similarity search is interesting. Are you using embeddings for that or a more traditional perceptual hash approach? Curious how it handles near-duplicate images with color shifts.

Small tool, looks good

Screenshot search using Apple Vision is a feature I didn't know I needed until now. The "all local processing" angle is a real differentiator — most tools phone home. Do you plan to add support for video files or is the focus staying on static content?
