Nevervault builds a local search index from the folders you choose. Your originals stay in place. Start with the workflow you need, or check the format guide before indexing your archive.
Search RAW photos on Mac
Find a remembered frame by its subject, then narrow by camera, lens or format.
Search external drives and NAS
Index folders where they live and understand what stays available when a drive disconnects.
Create collections and export across drives
Gather selects from any source, see which drives you need, and export originals one drive at a time.
Search video and spoken words
Find sampled frames and transcribed speech, including Blackmagic RAW footage.
Find photos with an AI agent
Connect an MCP-compatible agent, inspect lightweight previews, and build a collection from your creative brief.
Supported photo and video formats
Check RAW extensions, video containers, decoder limits and Mac requirements.
Before you start
You need an Apple silicon Mac running macOS 14 or later. Connect the drives you want to index and mount any NAS shares in Finder. Allow time for the first scan: a large archive or a slow network share takes longer than a small local folder.
The 14-day trial includes Pro. After the trial, the free tier keeps your library browsable and provides 20 searches a month with the top matches. Video search, transcription and advanced filters require Pro. See current pricing.
