Find the moments
worth watching.
Something may have happened to your car and the footage will not tell you. Mimir works through it on your own computer, rules out the hours where nothing did, and hands you the moments that need a person to look.
No account. No subscription. Nothing leaves your PC.
What it does
Three categories, not six hundred clips.
Mimir weighs motion, what it detects, and how close that is to your car, then files each event accordingly. Work down from the top and stop when nothing warrants attention.
Look at this now
Probably nothing, worth a glance
Left alone, never deleted
How it works
Four steps from USB stick to results.
-
01
Plug in the USB stick
Mimir copies each incident to your library and checks the copy byte for byte before it reads anything. Footage already on your drive is scanned where it sits. If you ask it to, it clears the stick as it goes — but only for clips whose copy matched and scanned.
-
02
Point Mimir at the folder
Mimir reports the hardware it detected and an estimated scan time before it starts.
-
03
Let it scan
Roughly 25 minutes for a 679-clip dump on a machine with a graphics card. It runs unattended.
-
04
Review the results
Each clip has a timeline marking where Mimir thinks something happened, so you jump straight there instead of watching the whole minute.
Privacy
Your footage never leaves your PC.
This is a statement about how the software is built, not a policy we ask you to trust. Scanning runs entirely on your machine. There is no account, no cloud storage, no telemetry and no analytics.
Three things can leave
A correction when you disagree with a verdict, a crash report if Mimir falls over, and — separately — a clip you choose to contribute. A correction is text about one event, never the footage.
Encrypted before it moves
Anything you do send is encrypted on your own machine first, with a key held by the intake, not by the network in between.
Consent is asked once and reversible
The first time you correct a verdict, Mimir asks whether corrections may be sent. Say yes and later ones go on their own, so it is not a decision you make over and over. The switch to stop them is in Settings, and it shows how many have gone. Crash reports and clips are never sent unless you press send.
Run it against your own footage.
Free for the duration of the beta, runs offline, and removes nothing from your drive unless you ask it to.
Installing means you accept the beta terms.
Requirements and things worth knowing first
- Operating system
- Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. No macOS or Linux build yet.
- Graphics
- Optional, but it matters. With a DirectX 12 GPU expect about 25 minutes for a full dump; on the processor alone, hours. Mimir tells you which you have before you start.
- Disk
- About 245 MB installed, plus a detector cache capped at 512 MB, plus room for the footage Mimir copies across.
- Internet
- To fetch Microsoft’s WebView2 at install time if your PC lacks it, to check whether a newer Mimir exists when it starts, and if you send a correction or a clip. Scanning and review themselves are fully offline.
Windows will warn you on first run
The installer is not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen shows a blue “Windows protected your PC” box. Click More info, then Run anyway. Windows is reporting that it does not know who made this — not that the file is dangerous. If that is not good enough, the source builds are right there.
Verifying the download
Every release publishes the installer’s SHA-256 in its release notes. To compare, run this in PowerShell and check it matches:
Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 .\MimirSetup.exe
It is early beta, and it over-flags
Treat Important as “look at this”, not “something happened”. Mimir rules out well over half of the events in a typical dump and puts the rest in front of you, which beats watching all of them but is not the ten-out-of-seven-hundred it is aiming for. The known issues page has the real numbers and what is being done about them.
