FileScope is a local AI search engine for Windows that understands your files and lets you search them by name, by content, or by meaning.
Hey Hunters! 👋 I built FileScope because finding files on your own computer shouldn't be this hard.
You need a file you saved weeks ago, but you don't remember what you named it or where you put it. So you dig through folders, waste five minutes, and just give up.
That's where FileScope comes in. It uses a local AI model to understand your files, so you can find them by describing what you're looking for in plain language.
What that looks like in practice:
Type "that contract with the design agency" and it finds MSA-CreativePartners-2026.pdf
Type "last quarter finances" and it pulls up Q4-Revenue-Report.xlsx
Type "tiger" and it finds a photo of a tiger, even if the file is named IMG_4839.jpg
How it works:
Install. Choose your folders.
Press Ctrl + Space from anywhere. A floating search bar appears.
Type what you're looking for. Done.
100% offline. Works with PDFs, docs, spreadsheets, code, images, and more.
Grab it and try it on your messiest folder. 📁
Searched my messy Downloads folder by asking for "that pdf about pricing from last week" and it actually pulled it up, which still feels like magic for a local tool. Setup took maybe two minutes.
