git clone https://github.com/yjid/kensaku.git
v1.0.11 · 4d ago
Desktop file launcher that searches file names, text inside documents, OCR'd screenshots, and meaning, all locally.
Why you might care
Aimed at people who remember what a file contained but not its name. It indexes PDF, DOCX, EPUB, code, and text plus OCR on images, and exposes the index to AI agents over MCP, read-only and local. Built with Tauri and Rust, MIT-licensed, and free, unlike Alfred's paid content search.
