Stella
Local file search engine, supporting natural language and offline search
- Creator
Stella is a local file search engine that supports natural language search. It can find files according to the meaning of the document rather than the file name. For example, searching for "Q3 revenue report" can find relevant files. It runs on local devices, has no cloud storage and no data tracking, and is completely private. Compared with Spotlight which only searches file names, it can read documents and search for various files according to their meanings. It is free to use, with no subscription, payment tiers, or account requirements. It supports offline search, allows you to choose to monitor indexed folders, indexes text-based documents, and then searches according to their meanings.
