## What is ByteDetective?

ByteDetective is a **desktop app** (currently available for MacOS) that acts as a **semantic search engine for your photos**. The aim is to make searching for images on your desktop quick and easy. 

**Images are difficult to search**; they often don't have a really intuitive filename, and you have to dig a lot to find them. Wouldn't it make more sense to search for them **based on their content** (e.g "eating pizza with friends")?

Why it's cool:

- 📁 **Ease of use**: Say goodbye to the endless struggle of navigating through countless files and folders to find that one picture

- 🔮 **Intelligent**: Even if your description is vague, ByteDetective will deliver pretty decent results, giving you images that match your words.

- ⚡ **Fast**: Lightning-fast performance as the inference is made with Rust.

## How it works

## Demo

## How to use

1. Download the release.

2. Open it.

3. Give the app authorizations to access your files. 

4. Leave it open for a few hours. At first, it will take a little time to scan all the images on your computer. Then it will get faster and synchronize with new images on the fly, promise.
