Lantern Files提燈
Locked away and still findable: enter the passphrase and a sentence searches inside them.
Lock a video: name and contents encrypted together, so from the outside nothing shows what it is, and only your passphrase opens it — we can't either. To watch one you don't unlock them all: enter the passphrase, every thumbnail and name is laid out, pick the one you want, and only that one opens.
About 2.7 GB to install — the AI models come with it, so it works with the network unplugged.
No sorting first, no remembering filenames. Say what you want — "photos from the beach last month", "that presentation about carbon emissions" — and it reads the sentence and walks your own disk. It looks when you ask and forgets afterwards; there is no background index.
Name and contents encrypted together. From the folder it is just a file that will not open — nothing shows that it is a video, or what it is of. Only your passphrase opens it, and we cannot either.
A light agent: five things and no more — find files, lay pictures out, rename a batch, lock and unlock, search inside what is locked. It does not act on its own and it does not decide for you; it reads your sentence, proposes the next step, and waits. If it read you wrong, the buttons are all still there.
The first is a search. The second goes and looks, lays the list in front of you, and then asks whether to lock what it found — the passphrase is yours to type and the button is yours to press. The third it simply answers.
There is nothing to read first. Type "how do I lock files" into the search box and he answers on the spot, naming the button that does it; "See the whole guide" beside the answer lays out all five steps. If he misread you, "No — search for this" is right there next to it. It is one guide in three places — the ? in the corner, the pet, and this page — so they cannot tell you different things.
He wanders your desktop. Type to him or just talk — ask him to find something, or say nothing in particular. While the disk is being searched, at least somebody is waiting with you. What he says comes from the model on your machine and can be wrong; the ✕ on his window sends him back to sleep.
Five things, in the order you do them. Nothing to memorise — when you forget, ask him the way above.
Describe what you want, like "photos from the beach last month" or "pictures of Token Tycoon". It reads the sentence and looks through the files on this computer — no sorting first, no internet. To look in one folder only, press "Just one folder" first.
When what it found are pictures, "Show thumbnails" lays them all out on one big sheet so you see them at once instead of opening each. Have a picture and want ones that look like it? Drop it in with "Find by picture".
These two light up once files are listed. "Rename these" renames them all after one pattern. "Encrypt files" locks name and contents together — videos too — opened only by the passphrase; on files already locked the same button unlocks. Both only rename: nothing is moved, deleted or overwritten, and a rename can be undone.
A locked file gives nothing away from outside, so there is a second search. Switch to "Encrypted search" and enter the passphrase: every video's thumbnail and name is laid out while the files stay locked, and a sentence finds things among them. Pick the one you want and click its thumbnail (or press "Open this one…") and it asks whether to open it for now — it goes back by itself when you close it, or close the program — or to unlock it for good. Only the one you picked is ever opened.
"Desktop pet" at the top right calls him out: he wanders the desktop, you can type or talk to him, and you can ask him aloud to find files. What he says comes from a model on this machine and can be wrong. The ✕ on his window sends him back to sleep.
The program never goes online, has no accounts, no servers, and collects no data. The AI models that read your sentence and look at pictures are installed with it and run on your machine. Microphone, camera and screen are three switches, all off by default; on, they feed only the local model, and nothing is stored or sent.
