At Ugle, we build high-performance, private utility software for media professionals, newsrooms, and podcasters.
We believe finding the right moment in your video archive shouldn't require compromising your timeline or your source’s trust. We built Ugle to eliminate the trade-off between search speed and data security.
Most modern tools ask you to upload your sensitive, unreleased footage to a cloud server to index it. We think that approach is fundamentally broken for professional workflows.
By shifting heavy AI transcription and semantic indexing entirely to local hardware, Ugle gives you 30ms search speeds while keeping your files completely secure.
Indexing runs entirely on your device. No servers ever receive your transcripts.
Your search history is entirely yours. We do not track what you look for or how you work.
Your media files remain exactly where they are in their original folders or cloud drives. Ugle simply reads them to build a local index, meaning your archive is never trapped in a proprietary ecosystem.
We are a distributed team of engineers and product designers obsessed with building local-first tools that respect your machine, your data, and your deadlines.
