How it works
From search to done — in seconds.
§ 002 · How it works
Smart search.
Private by default.
Found It! builds a local index of your files in the background. When you search, everything is already there — no scanning, no waiting, nothing uploaded.
Found It! indexes your files
Scans Documents, Downloads, and Desktop — building a local SQLite index with AI-generated summaries and smart metadata.
Smart keyword extraction
Your query is lemmatized, expanded with synonyms, and used to fetch candidates from the local index via fast LIKE queries.
Scored, ranked, and ready
Each file is scored across 10+ signals — filename, content, metadata, embeddings, recency — then ranked and shown instantly.
What you get.
Free lets you search your first 500 indexed files with no limit on searches. Pro removes the cap and adds AI-powered extras.
Natural language search
Search like you think. 'That PDF from last Tuesday about Q3 revenue' actually works.
Lives in your menu bar
One shortcut away. Always ready. Never in your way.
100% local index
Your files never leave your Mac. The index is yours, stored locally in SQLite.
Blazing fast
SQLite-powered local index. Results in under 200ms — no network, no lag.
Image conversion
Convert JPEG, PNG, HEIC, and more. Pro feature — baked right into the result panel.
Deep Search
AI query expansion finds related terms before searching, then re-ranks results. Built for vague or hard-to-name files.

Nate Levy
Indie developer · macOS · AI
I built Found It because I kept losing my own files. Spotlight is great when you know the name — I needed something for when you only remember what it was about.
What started as a weekend experiment turned into a full-featured search app with local AI, Stripe billing, and a Supabase backend. I care about software that feels fast, stays out of your way, and respects your data.
