Vector is a Spotlight search replacement that uses on-device ML to determine exactly what you want to see with natural language. Ask your files and iMessage database questions and get answers instantly. All on-device. No more cloud storage options pretending to change how you view your files. Searching apps takes first priority and is deterministic. You will always search for exactly what you want and never have things change unexpectedly as you type. It can also search for weather, maps, Wikipedia, contacts, and your calendar with natural language. It also comes with a built in clipboard manager and emoji picker.

@ethanlipnik Weather and maps search is handy. How accurate is the local data compared to native apps.

How does Vector differ from Spotlight/Alfred? Do you support natural‑language queries and custom actions, and can it be triggered with a global hotkey

A product like this must be open source. The threat vector is simply too large if not.
