Mixel, from 0x1audio, is a free Mac app that finds the sound you’re thinking of: describe it in words, and it searches every sound in your folders, privately, on your Mac.

FACTS

What it is
  Mixel finds the sound you’re thinking of. Describe it in words, and Mixel searches every sound in your folders, privately, on your Mac.
  Search in words and Find similar need a Mac with Apple silicon.

  0x1audio, in Italy. Founder: Gabriele Pio Midulla.

Price
  Free: everything on your Mac, and it stays free.
  Mixel Plus, the paid plan, is not on sale yet. It starts with Backup: €12 a month or €120 a year ($12 / $120, plus tax where it applies).
  Prices in euros include VAT.

How it searches
  Mixel listens to your sounds with a model that runs on your Mac: LAION’s CLAP, larger_clap_music_and_speech, whose weights are under the Apache 2.0 licence.
  Every result says why: tagged by you, in its name, or close in sound. Mixel never shows you a score.
  Add “not vocal”, and sounds tagged, named or detected as vocal are left out, with a count.

Privacy
  Your sounds stay on your Mac. Mixel never uploads your audio.
  Mixel indexes your folders where they are. It never copies, moves or renames your files.
  No account needed for the Library and the apps. Usage sharing on the Mac is off until you say yes.
  Works offline once set up. The first setup downloads the sound model (416 MB).
  No ads, and we never sell your data.

Also in Mixel
  Find similar: pick any sound and hear the ones nearest to it, across every folder.
  Stars, your own tags, and filters for key and tempo.
  Four apps: Audio Converter, Vocal Extractor, De‑reverb and Pitch & Tempo. Every app runs on your Mac; Vocal Extractor and De‑reverb need Apple silicon.
  The official apps are open source, under the Apache 2.0 licence.

Measured
  Search in words (Mixel 0.1.15): 6.5 of the top 10 results are the kind of sound you asked for, across 52 searches, with the single notes renamed so their names don’t give the answer away.
  Loops are the hardest: 4.4 of the top 10 with the test Library’s own names.
  Listening: 2,662 sounds a minute on one Mac with an M4 chip (Mixel 0.1.14). Older Macs will be slower.
  Every number, with how it was measured and where it misses, is on the numbers page.
