BeaconFind finds files by what is inside them, not by their names. Describe a document, a scanned page, a screenshot or a photo and it turns up, by meaning, in 50+ languages and 70+ file types. It also sees and hears: a map of your photos, people in photos (opt-in), and search inside audio and video with clickable transcripts. The AI runs on your Windows PC or Apple Silicon Mac. In the Mac App Store; 14-day trial on the website.

BeaconFind finds files by what is inside them, not by their names. Describe a document, a scanned page, a screenshot or a photo and it turns up, by meaning, in 50+ languages and 70+ file types. Since July it also sees and hears: a map of your photos, and on the Balanced and Max tiers people in photos (opt-in) and search inside audio and video with clickable transcripts. The AI runs on your Windows PC or Apple Silicon Mac. Now in the Mac App Store; 14-day trial on the website.

Hi, I'm the maker, a solo founder in Berlin. I built BeaconFind because I kept losing my own files. I remember what a document is about, never what I called it, and half my folders are full of names like scan0047.pdf.
It launched here in July as a Windows app. Two things changed since then. It is now a native app for Apple Silicon Macs and it is in the Mac App Store. And it learned to see and hear: photos get their place and a map, it can group the people in your photos if you switch that on, and audio and video are transcribed, so you can search for something that was said and jump to that moment.
How it works, since this crowd asks: indexing, search, text recognition, face matching and transcription run on your own computer. Your files, their contents, your searches and the index stay there. The app downloads its models once, and it checks your licence and looks for updates on our server. Block those two at the firewall and search keeps working.
Price: on the website, $29 once for up to 3 computers or $2 a month, with a 14-day trial. In the Mac App Store it is a free download with a one-time Lifetime purchase, and it searches the folders you pick.
