The Creator OS · Building in public

The operating system for creators of the new world.

It starts with the one problem nobody solved: finding the right clip in your own footage. Type what you remember. Splayed finds it. On your Mac, instantly, nothing uploaded.

Why we exist

Video is the only medium that never separated having the idea from producing it.

So one creator does twelve jobs alone.

We are building the layer that takes back the eleven that were never yours.

We are not shipping an everything app on day one. We are laying one brick at a time, in the open, and you can watch every one go down.

The map · what the OS becomes

One system,
idea to income.

Each phase ships when it is real, not when it is announced. Founding members vote on the order.

Live now · phase 03 · search

Find any clip by what is actually in it.

Splayed indexes the video sitting on your Mac and lets you search it the way you remember it. Not by filename. By what happened in the frame.

// Honest scope. Right now it finds. It does not edit yet. Mac Apple Silicon only. Gated beta, invite by wave.

Search is phase one. Next, it stops waiting for you to search and finds your b-roll on its own.

  • SEARCHSearch by audio, video, text or image. Find a moment, not a file.
  • INDEXAcross folders, scopes and projects, all on your machine.
  • WATCHPoint it at a folder and it indexes new footage automatically.
  • PLUGConnect straight into Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve.
  • MODELPick your engine, from fast to most precise.
  • AGENTBuilt for agents over MCP, so your tools can search it too.

Query tab — search by what you remember, pick a match, insert to timeline.

Search what is in the frame

Type what you remember — a place, an object, a feeling — and get the clips back, ranked by match. No filenames, no tags.

Match similar b-roll

Found a shot you like? Pull every visually similar moment from your archive to build the sequence faster.

Next

Straight to your timeline

Send one clip, a selection, or every match into Premiere or Resolve in a single click.

Why we start with search

You reuse the same ten b-roll clips in every video. Not because you want to. Because finding the others is genuinely painful. Your archive is filed by the date you shot it, never by what it means. So the footage you need is in there, and you still cannot reach it.

// we started with the one thing in the whole OS that nobody has solved. starting small is the point, not the apology.

On device

The most personal thing you own stays yours.

Your unposted footage never leaves your Mac. Indexing and search run on the Apple Silicon chip. That is why it is instant, and why it stays private.

Questions

The honest answers.

The first build runs on Apple Silicon so search is instant and fully on device. More platforms come as we grow.
We let people in by wave, so we can fix what breaks before the next group arrives. It also keeps the early group close to us.
Not yet. Today it finds footage in your archive. Editing arrives as we build phase 03 out, starting with automatic b-roll.
Yes. It never leaves your Mac. Indexing and search happen on your own machine, nothing uploads.
One place that takes a creator from idea, to script, to content, to growth, to the business side. We are building it in public, starting with search.
Beta access is invite only. Founding members lock the founding rate before we move to standard pricing.

We are building the Creator OS in the open.

Get in early. Shape what it becomes. Grow as it grows.
