Features

Not your average file search.

Everything Search finds filenames. LocalSynapse finds the answer inside your files.

Content search across 13+ formats

Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, HWP, EML, MSG and more. Search by what's inside, not the filename.

Smart ranking that learns

Phrase search, word boundary boost, and click learning. Files you open often rank higher next time. Drafts and revisions auto-grouped.

100% offline

All AI runs locally on your CPU via ONNX. No network. No upload. Works in air-gapped environments.

Privacy first

Built-in MCP server

AI agents like Claude and Cursor can search your files. Same app, one command.

Roadmap

What's next.

Your files didn't appear out of nowhere. We're building the full picture.

v2.5 — Search quality

Phrase search, word boundary boost, RTF/ODT parsers, model download progress, Ctrl+K/Escape shortcuts, example queries in empty state.

v2.4 — Click boost

Position-weighted click learning + bounce detection. Search learns from your behavior — frequently opened files rank higher.

v2.3 — Pipeline UI + macOS

Visual 3-step Scan → Extract → Embed pipeline. Native macOS support with .app bundle + .dmg installer.

v2.2 — Search engine + MCP

Full-text, semantic, and hybrid search across 13+ formats. Auto version grouping. Built-in MCP server for Claude, Cursor, and AI agents.

Next — Email timeline

See how your documents evolved: email threads, attachments, local edits — one unified timeline.

Future — Email search Pro

Search inside emails alongside files. Context linking between email conversations and local documents.
