Plug a drive in — once.
Connect an external drive a single time. Disky opens it strictly read-only: it looks, it never touches. Nothing is moved, renamed, copied off, or deleted.
Read-only · your files are never altered

Find anything.Plug in nothing.
Well — maybe not nothing. Plug each drive in once, then search it forever while it sits in the drawer.

Plug in once. Search forever.
How Disky works.
Three steps, then you never plug a drive in to search again.
Disky builds the catalog — on your Mac.
It records every file: names, folders, projects — and reads what's inside your footage and photos, so you can find a shot by what it shows. All of it stays on your Mac.

Unplug it. Search anytime.
Put the drive back in the drawer. The catalog lives in Disky, so every search after that finds the exact drive and path with nothing connected — across all of them at once.
Nothing plugged in · the whole drawer, searchable
More than a catalog
Your whole archive, finally under control.
The offline catalog is just the beginning. Every tool below ships in the app today — built for the messy reality of a hundred drives.

Duplicate Finder
Reclaim the space you forgot you lost.
Disky matches files by checksum, not by name — so it catches the same footage hiding under five different names. See what's safe to delete, and how many gigs you'll win back.

Project Manager
Know it's safe — before you wipe the card.
Every project scored at a glance: safe on two drives, clinging to one, or a single failure from gone. With a last “really done?” check before a finished job leaves your hands.
And this is just the start.
Fresh from the workbench
And it keeps getting better.

WorldMap. Your archive as a map. Disky reads the location hidden in your photos and footage and pins every shoot where it happened. Zoom from the whole world down to a single clip on a single drive.
On-device AI
sunset at the sea
AI search. Find photos by what's in them. The optional AI index describes your images right on your Mac — so “sunset at the sea” finds the shot even when the file is called DSC_4021. Nothing ever leaves your machine.
Privacy by design
Your work never leaves your Mac.
Disky catalogs your drives entirely on your Mac. The content-search AI is the only piece that touches the internet, and only once: it downloads the model on first use, then runs fully on-device — after that, zero bytes of your footage ever leave the machine. Your account only carries your license, never your files.
On-deviceThe search model downloads once, then runs entirely on your Mac. Your footage is never uploaded — not previews, not thumbnails, not a single frame.
Read-onlyDisky only ever reads your drives. It never moves, renames, or deletes a file — your originals stay exactly where you put them.
Your data stays localYour catalog and footage live on your Mac — never uploaded to the cloud. Your account only carries your license, never your files.
