Metadata worthy
of your craft.
Metadata worthy
of your craft.
Drop a folder of clips, or photos. Curator reads every frame, GPS coordinate and tech spec, then writes titles, descriptions and keywords for every stock platform you sell to. Video and stills, every major format, finally named. Either way, your library never leaves your machine.
Founding-member access · Limited first 1000 users
For stock contributors. For archivists. For anyone whose footage deserves to be findable.
Stock contributors
Submit to 8 platforms in one workflow. Curator generates compliant metadata for each. No re-typing per library.
Footage archivists
Wedding shooters, travel creators, anyone with TB of 'IMG_xxxx.mov'. Curator builds a searchable local database with CSV, JSON, HTML gallery, and XMP sidecars.
Solo professionals
Production companies and freelancers cataloging client work. Stays local, no cloud DAM subscription, no monthly fee. Your footage is yours.
A professional instrument, not a startup landing.
Video and photos, every format
Curator reads representative frames from every clip and every photo. Video: ProRes, DNxHR/HD, H.264, HEVC/H.265, AV1, VP9, BRAW, R3D, ARRIRAW, CinemaDNG, XAVC, XF-AVC, MXF. Photo RAW: CR2, CR3, NEF, NRW, ARW, SRF, SR2, RAF, ORF, ORI, RW2, DNG, PEF, SRW, RWL, IIQ, 3FR, FFF, X3F, KDC, DCR, MRW, MOS, NXR. Plus JPEG, HEIC, HEIF, AVIF, TIFF, PNG, WebP. Pulls GPS, camera, lens, codec, resolution, frame rate. Finally, everything named.
Per-platform compliance
One master record, mapped to each stock library's exact title length, keyword cap, category enum and CSV columns. Pond5 gets 500 chars and 50 keywords. Envato gets 80 chars and 15 tags. You don't think about it.
Nothing leaves your machine
Frames are extracted on-device. Files are renamed on disk via the File System Access API. No proxy, no telemetry, no cloud upload of your footage. Ever.
Six steps. Folder in. Catalog out.
Every clip, every detail. One quiet workspace.
Browse your library, inspect metadata, refine titles, descriptions and keywords. Built for the way editors actually work.

For when your footage isn't for sale. It's for keeping.

Beta users, on the record.
Six early testers from Curator's private beta. Stock contributors, archivists and studios shipping real work with it today.
“Renames and tags 400 clips before my coffee cools. The Pond5 CSV used to take a weekend. Now it's a coffee.”
“Eight years of 'IMG_xxxx.mov' finally got searchable. My local archive feels like a real DAM, no subscription.”
“GPS metadata + auto descriptions per location. I shipped a 200-clip Iceland set to Adobe Stock the day I got home.”
“We were quoted €8k/yr for a cloud DAM. Curator does what we needed, on disk, no upload.”
“It writes descriptions that actually describe the shot. Not generic AI slop. The keywords are usable.”
“Footage stays on my drive. Client NDAs are happy, my workflow is faster. That's the whole pitch, and it works.”
Questions, answered.
Curator is currently in pre-launch / waitlist mode. Paid access is planned to open on July 1, 2026. Waitlist members will be notified first with launch details, founding-member access information, and onboarding instructions.
No. Payments are not collected during waitlist mode. Lemon Squeezy will only be activated when paid launch is enabled.
After purchase, users will be able to create or sign in to their private account. Each user will have their own private workspace, license status, documents area, and support thread.
No. The waitlist only needs your email and basic contact info. An account is created later, on purchase, so we can link your license to you securely.
Yes. Each client has a private workspace. You only ever see your own account, license, orders, documents, and support thread. Other users and admins-from-the-outside cannot see your data.
Your footage and metadata never touch our servers. Frame analysis happens on your machine. Only tiny JPEG thumbnails are used for analysis. Your video files stay on your disk.
Curator works just as well as a personal DAM. The Local Data Management bundle generates a searchable CSV, JSON database, browsable HTML gallery, and Lightroom-compatible XMP sidecars — all stored locally.
Native browser decode: H.264, H.265/HEVC, VP9, AV1 in MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM. Pro codecs (ProRes, DNxHD, R3D, BRAW, ARRIRAW) via included Companion preprocessor script.
macOS at planned launch (Apple Silicon + Intel). Windows version in Q4 2026. Linux later, depending on demand. Founding members get all platforms included.
Curator runs entirely on your machine. No upload, no monthly fees, no vendor lock-in, no storage limits. Cloud DAMs are great for teams; Curator is for individuals and small studios who want full control.
