Photo & music library/powerful digital asset manager for Windows
NADAM indexes your photos and audio where they already live — RAW, JPEG, WAV, FLAC, MP3 and more — then lets you search, tag, rate, organize and play everything in one fast app. An option AI can be run locally on your own PC, so nothing is ever uploaded or used for training. And it's free.
Photo shoots on one drive, exports on another, music and sound effects on a third. NADAM brings all of it into a single fast library — without moving a single file.
One libraryOne search box for everything — camera, lens, place, keyword, rating, artist, BPM, key, project — plus filters you can nest as deep as you like.
Collections, smart collections, categories and hierarchical keywords are all virtual. Drag files in; the folders on disk never change.
Ratings, labels, titles, keywords, GPS, credits — on one file or ten thousand, saved into the files the way other apps expect.
Every field is searchable and every filter stacks. Narrow tens of thousands of files down to the one you need — then save it as a smart collection.

WAV, FLAC, MP3, OGG, M4A, AIFF and more live right next to your photos — tagged, searchable, playable, and smarter every time you listen.
Play any song or sound straight from the library — waveform seek bar, queue, next / previous, volume and album art. Plays are counted on this PC to power Discover.
A sortable list view with every tag that matters — artist, album, BPM, key, duration, project and category — so a 40,000-file SFX library is as easy as your music.
| Title | Artist / Project | Type | BPM | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fading | Land After Time | Song | — | 3:34 |
| Door Slam Heavy 03 | Fresh Cut Flowers | SFX | — | 0:02 |
| Main Theme (Stems) | Fresh Cut Flowers | Score | 96 | 2:48 |
| Rain on Tin Roof | Ambience Pack | SFX | — | 1:15 |
| Midnight City | M83 | Song | 105 | 4:03 |
“Look up online” finds the right artist, album, year, track number and cover art on MusicBrainz. Untagged file called track07.mp3? NADAM listens to it and identifies it by its acoustic fingerprint.
| Field | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Title | track07 | Midnight City |
| Artist | (empty) | M83 |
| Album | (empty) | Hurry Up, We're Dreaming |
| Year · Track | (empty) | 2011 · 2 / 22 |
| Cover art | none | ✓ from Cover Art Archive |
Every change is shown before / after and nothing is saved until you approve it.
NADAM learns from your listening — last 30, 60 or 90 days — and suggests songs you'll like. Set the mix, or just describe a mood and the local AI builds the playlist.
See which songs have no cover, pull the right one from the Cover Art Archive, or drop in your own — embedded in the file so every player shows it.
Tag audio by project and type — song, sound effect, foley, ambience, loop, stem, dialogue and more — and find the right one in seconds. Great for editors, podcasters and game devs.
Optionally connect your own Spotify account to include what you listen to there and send Discover playlists straight to Spotify. Leave it off and everything stays on your PC.
NADAM's AI runs on your own computer — no uploads, no subscriptions, no per-image fees. Your library stays yours, and it keeps working with the Wi-Fi off.
Local AIA local vision model looks at each photo and writes keywords, a title and a caption — reviewed by you before anything is saved.
Type “piano in an empty room” and find it, even if it was never tagged. Or pick a photo and find others that look like it.
Finds faces across your library and groups them, so you can name someone once and find every photo of them.
“Rainy late-night drive.” The local AI turns a mood or a prompt into a playlist from your library — plus new picks if you want them.
GPS coordinates become city, state and country without an internet lookup, so “state:ohio” just works.
Other taggers write first and ask never. NADAM shows you every change, lets you untick the wrong ones, and keeps a way back — even after you've saved.
A before / after list of every field on every file. Values that would replace something are flagged. Untick what you don't want.
Ctrl+Z works on edits that were already written to the files. Changed your mind tomorrow? The history is still there.
The first time NADAM writes to a file it keeps a snapshot of the original tags and cover art, so you can always put a file back exactly how it was.
Turn on backups and NADAM copies each file to a folder you choose before changing it — same folder structure, nothing overwritten.
RAW edits go to XMP sidecars. Lightroom's develop settings, crops and history are preserved untouched.
If a file changed in another app since NADAM last looked, it flags the conflict and asks which version to keep instead of silently overwriting either.
The tools photographers, sound designers and collectors keep asking for — in one app, with no subscription.
See every geotagged shot on a map, geotag photos that have no location, and filter the library to the area on screen.
Load a GPX track from your phone or watch and tag a whole shoot by time, with a preview first.
Cameras, lenses, years, places and listening stats — plus a health check for the whole library.
Exact copies and look-alike re-saves across every drive, grouped for you to review. Nothing is ever deleted for you.
RAW, JPEG and edited versions of the same shot collapse into one tile so the grid stays clean.
Put similar shots side by side, large, and rate, label or reject each with a single key.
Rate, flag, label and move on without touching the mouse. Thousands of photos an hour.
Rename hundreds of files from a pattern — date, camera, title, counter and more — with a preview and one-click undo.
Save web, client and print presets with size, quality, file naming, GPS stripping, borders and your watermark.
Record film stock, camera, lens and lab for scanned negatives and search them like any digital file.
Ratings, labels and keywords stay in step with Lightroom Classic through XMP — both directions.
Places › USA › Ohio. Keyword trees are read and written the same way Lightroom does, so nothing gets flattened.

No. NADAM indexes files where they already are. It only renames or writes to a file when you ask it to, and it shows you every change first.
Yes. Keywording, “looks like” search, faces, mood playlists and place names run on your own PC. You can optionally choose a cloud AI provider with your own key, but local is the default.
Yes. NADAM reads and writes XMP the way Lightroom Classic does, keeps Lightroom's develop settings intact, and picks up changes made in Lightroom automatically.
Every save goes through a review list you can untick. After saving you can still undo, restore a file's original tags, or turn on automatic backups to a folder you choose.
No. Discover works from what you play inside NADAM. Last.fm adds “new to you” suggestions using song names only, and Spotify is entirely optional.
Not yet — NADAM is Windows 10 and 11 only for now.
