The system pairs CLIP vector embeddings with deterministic lexical noise gates, and its pipeline architecture, scoring algorithms, and local-first engineering trade-offs are detailed in a technical dissection.", "body_md": "allenv0/SCM reimagines personal archive search by running multi-modal vision, Tesseract OCR, Whisper dialogue indexing, and local LLM sidecars entirely on macOS. By pairing CLIP vector embeddings with deterministic lexical noise gates, Screen Memories delivers frame-accurate scene retrieval without transmitting a single byte to the cloud.
