windows search is useless. copilot recall sends your screen to microsoft. i got mass data, shit filenames, and zero patience. so i wrote my own.

you type what you mean, it finds the file. that's it. runs in tray, Alt+Space pulls it up.

"photos from istanbul" → finds IMG_4392.jpg because it read the GPS from EXIF and reverse geocoded it "summer morning" → finds a photo shot in july at 8am because it expanded the date to human words OCR built in. windows native engine, zero extra install hybrid search: vectors + full-text + JINA cross-encoder reranker. not a toy chunks code at function boundaries. 60+ languages. not "split every 500 bytes" garbage MCP server included. one exe, plug into cursor/claude/copilot. your AI gets local codebase access, no API keys rust + tauri. lancedb. ~2GB models, downloaded once, runs forever. indexes 120+ file types. MIT.
