Your Intelligent Local File Finder
What is File Brain? File Brain is a desktop application that helps you find files instantly using natural language. Instead of remembering exact filenames, you can send queries like "flight ticket invoice", and File Brain uses semantic search to understand the meaning and show the relevant files. Key Features š§ Find what you mean: Uses advanced Semantic Search -in addition to full text search- to understand the intent behind your query (e.g., search for "worker", find documents mentioning "employee"). š Typo Resistance: Robust against typos. Search for "iphone" even if you typed "ipnone". š Supports Everything: Extracts the content of over 1000 file formats (PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images, archives, and more). š Cross-Language Search: Search in one language to find documents written in another (e.g., search for "Chair", find documents mentioning "Silla" -in Spanish-). š Fast Matching: Search results are shown within milliseconds, not minutes. šļø OCR Support: Automatically extracts text from screenshots, and scanned documents. ā” Auto-Indexing: Detects changes in real-time and updates the index instantly. š”ļø Read-Only & Safe: File Brain only reads your files to index them. It never modifies, deletes, or alters your data in any way. š Privacy First: All indexing and processing happens 100% locally on your machine. Your data never leaves your computer.

Great! Setup looks intimidating for non-tech users, but solution is impressive.
@alcazarsec You are right. I will try to package the app better in the future.
Does it run as a standalone app?
@jenezis, It is a desktop app (not SaaS). It requires some dependencies as mentioned in the README, but the rest of the setup is automated and should work out of the box.
