Search "team dinner" and surface the photo — even with zero metadata. Powered by Gemini Embedding 2 + local ChromaDB. Comes with an animated setup wizard and a Raycast extension for instant visual search. Nothing leaves your machine except embedding API calls.

Wouldn’t that mean everything would be sent to Google?

Yeah, LOL. "Nothing leaves your machine except network payloads containing all of your personal data." Private and secure!

ChatGPT taught me a new word to describe that type of lying: paltering[1].

Does it consider relationships between files, esp. for code? Otherwise I don't see how it would work.

Great, let's just hope aayu22809 ( whose github activity started in yesterday, and whose commits are coauthored by claude) doesn't compromise the supply chain of the company.

Slop vibe-coded 17 hours ago on a day-old GitHub account? Fantastic, thank God this is a Show HN!

Everything you have on your pc is sent to AI... "local", yeah.

If you want local but text-only search, there is a very similarly named project called Recoll - https://recoll.org/ - a bit ugly, but works great, especially for people who tend to save notes in many different text files in many different folders.
