🖼️ Tool Name:
Fenn
🔖 Tool Category:
AI-powered offline file and content search tool — built for macOS to deliver fast, semantic, and visual search across documents, media, and notes with full privacy.
✏️ What does this tool offer?
Fenn is a native macOS app that allows users to search across local files using AI-enhanced semantic understanding and visual indexing. It supports documents (like PDFs and Word files), videos, audio, images, and even cloud-synced content from folders such as Dropbox or Google Drive. Users can search for specific scenes, words, phrases, or objects inside files—not just filenames—through a global system overlay activated by a keyboard shortcut. All indexing and AI processing happen locally on the device, ensuring full user privacy.
⭐ What does the tool actually deliver based on user experience?
• Finds exact video scenes, audio quotes, or document passages instantly
• Offers intelligent semantic search—understands the meaning behind queries, not just exact matches
• Previews results directly inside the overlay with visual snippets or page context
