Overview

DISKO is a media asset manager for Mac that organizes video footage using AI tagging, transcription, face recognition, shot descriptions, and plain-language search. The maker says these AI functions run on the Mac; footage is uploaded only when a user chooses to sync a project to DISKO Cloud. The desktop app plays formats including ProRes, DNxHD, MXF, and 10-bit HEVC, with real-time LUT preview. It can export selects, rough cuts, and multicamera sequences as XML for Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. DISKO can index and preview Google Drive clips without downloading originals until they are needed for editing. Cloud review includes timestamped comments, frame drawing, side-by-side comparison, version stacking, client portals, and viewing analytics. The desktop app requires an Apple Silicon Mac with an M1 chip or later. Cloud Free includes 2 GB, screenwriting and shot-list tools, and review links. Cloud Pro costs 12.00 USD per month at a founders rate locked for life; DISKO Local costs 99.00 USD per once.
