Search your Mac by meaning: documents, photos and recordings, entirely on your Mac's Neural Engine.

Highlights

  • One search for text, PDFs (including scanned pages), photos and recordings
  • Search with a file or a short microphone recording
  • Floating search bar (⌥ Space) with carousel and list views
  • Exact words, text in screenshots, and identical copies shown once
  • The whole model runs on the Apple Neural Engine through Core ML, about twice as fast on average as on the GPU (text 2.7×, photos 1.9×, recordings 1.7× on an M4), with no PyTorch: BidirLM-Omni-2.5B-Embedding-CoreML
  • Fast indexing that keeps up with new files: about 50 photos a minute and an hour of recordings in under a minute on an M4
  • A guided setup with progress for the runtime, the model download and its one-time preparation for your Mac, and the option to open DocuFind at login
  • Signed and notarized by Apple, and updates itself
  • Space shows a document or photo large, and Space again goes back: Markdown drawn properly, code that scrolls sideways, HTML and RTF in full, PDFs with their page, and VoiceOver labels
  • Quick search runs when you press Return, then hands the keyboard to the results: arrows to move, Space to look closer or play, a click on the field to change the search
  • A calm home page: the search field, where to look (documents, photos, recordings), and your recent files
  • A short interactive tour of the keyboard shortcuts the first time you open it
  • An About page with the BidirLM model behind it and its results on MTEB, MIEB and MAEB

Install

  1. Open DocuFind-0.1.0.dmg and drag DocuFind to Applications.
  2. The welcome guide installs the local runtime and downloads the model (about 3.5 GB) once, then prepares it for your Mac, which takes several minutes.

Requires an Apple silicon Mac with macOS 15 or later.
