Private, on-device AI search for everything on your Mac
Files are indexed and processed entirely on your Mac, so your documents, recordings, and screen memory never upload to a cloud AI provider and search keeps working offline.
Query the contents of PDFs, Office and Apple documents, design files, code, images, audio, and video, returning the exact page, line, or timestamp instead of just a filename.
Recall meetings, chats, dashboards, and shared screens that were never saved as files, then jump straight back to the moment you need.
Auto-organize folders with live criteria, find and remove duplicate files, rename files based on their content, and convert documents, invoices, images and videos into structured CSV.
A private, offline notebook that turns your own sources into reports, decks and briefings
Install a normal desktop app on Windows, macOS or Linux and run it with no account. With a local model you can pull the network cable and keep querying your indexed sources, since nothing is sent to a vendor.
Choose a bundled local Qwen or Gemma model at first launch, or paste a key for OpenAI, Anthropic or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. The model is a setting rather than a fixed vendor choice.
Turn one set of sources into slide decks, reports, briefing notes, podcasts, mind maps, flashcards, quizzes, Markdown, Word, PDF, HTML and spreadsheet outputs — generated and stored locally.
Optional plugins pull research from Google Search, Reddit, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Google Maps, Amazon, Walmart, Indeed and the open web, and anyone can register their own MCP server.
