Hey everyone, I'm launching Dotient on Product Hunt this week and wanted to share what I've been building before the big day.

Dotient is a desktop app that lets you search your files by what they look like, not what you happened to name them two years ago. Everything runs completely offline, nothing leaves your machine. It also has a live graph view of your files, deep PDF search, and canvas workspaces for organizing everything.

I built it solo out of pure frustration with Windows File Explorer and the lack of any tool that actually understands your files without making you do all the work manually.

Would love to hear any questions or feedback before launch. Happy to talk through anything.

This could be related to your industry, or even a side project you're working on.

Here are my 5 (I couldn't function without them):

1. Grammarly proofreading my texts, not just posts, but also client communication

2. ChatGPT / Claude mostly brainstorming, help with copy, and summarising

3. Figma I can put the basic graphics together quickly.

4. Translator sounds incredibly old-school, but English is not my mother tongue

5. Gmail and not only for communication, but also for storing ideas and sending myself email reminders for posts
