Private visual + semantic search

Search everything you own.
Leave nothing behind.

TRACE finds your images, video, audio, PDFs, and notes by meaning — reverse image search, text-to-image, semantic recall — inside a sandbox that holds all data in memory and is destroyed the moment your session ends. No disk, no logs, no remote calls.

What it does

Reverse image search

Drop an image, get your visually similar ones back — CLIP embeddings, sign-bit quantized for speed.

Text finds pictures

Cross-modal search: type “orange sunset over dunes” and matching photos surface, no tags needed.

Every format

Images, video (keyframe search that seeks to the matching moment), audio (transcript + sound), PDFs, code, notes.

Disposable by design

Your uploads are duplicates held in RAM. Session ends → the whole sandbox and its data are deleted.

Two ways in

People → connect a wallet

One click, no account to create. You get an ephemeral session tenant in its own sandbox. Need durable storage for a large library? Apply for the verified persistent tier.

Agents → x402, pay-per-request

No API key, no signup. Call the endpoint, get an HTTP 402 with payment terms, pay in USDC, retry. Built for the agent economy. See the walkthrough →

Or hand your agent our end-to-end setup prompt →

Why it's different

  • Nothing persists. Plaintext lives only in memory-backed storage; the sandbox is recycled on exit, idle timeout, or TTL.
  • No remote calls from your instance. Models are baked in; the sandbox has no network egress. An outbound attempt is blocked and flagged.
  • No logs of your queries. The gateway never records paths, queries, or bodies.
  • Self-hostable. Same engine runs in Docker on your laptop or on your own Kubernetes. Self-host guide →
