👋🏼 Hey Product Hunt! I’m Max, co-founder and CEO of Needl.
We're on a mission to make knowledge more accessible, regardless of where it lives. We are officially out of beta and are excited to open Needl to the public. Special thanks to @mwseibel for hunting us!
We started Needl to solve our own problem: finding the information we needed to do our work was hard. Our knowledge was spread out across all of our apps like Notion, GDrive, Local (gasp), Gmail, Slack, the list goes on. We were always asking ourselves — was that sent over Slack or email? Or is that spec doc in Drive, Notion, Dropbox, Box, or Quip? As SaaS sprawl got worse, so did our problem.
So we set out to break down these silos and build a single source of truth with:
🔎 Great, unified search: Find exactly what you need
💪 Works where you work: Available on Mac, Windows, and Web
⚡️ Fast: Hotkey oriented and instantly responsive
If this is a problem you face, please give Needl a try and let us know your experience and things we can be doing better.
Haven’t people tried this before?
Yup, people have been working on creating unified internal search all the way back to @danicgross 's Cue and @hnshah 's FYI, but a lot has changed in the last few years.
1. Internal search is hard. Unlike web search, there’s often only 1 right answer and no training data. Large language models make it much easier to determine what’s relevant than ever before — helping create a great search experience.
2. APIs have gotten much better — adding and maintaining integrations is much easier than before.
Whats next?
🌎 More integrations (maybe even browsing history!?)

Hands down the easiest way to find my things, no matter how poorly organized they are. Every time I use a browser that doesn't have it, there's a mini moment of shock when I realize I'm about to open 20+ tabs and 3 rabbit holes.
I use it all the time to find all of the random junk I have spread across my various services. It's become my go-to tool whenever I need to find an email or interact with google drive.
Needl is truly changing the game - it allows me to move way faster. The interface is intuitive and the search is POWERFUL. I use it every day multiple times per day!
