Hey Product Hunt! 👋
The idea for Fossick came to me after watching my partner's parents spend days frantically searching for old files. The government had requested some documents from years ago, and they knew they had them saved somewhere—but they couldn't remember the exact filenames.
It made me realize how easily a disorganized hard drive can lead to real-world consequences, like missed deadlines or fines.
I built Fossick to solve this exact problem. I wanted a fast, 100% offline semantic search tool that lets you find files by what they mean, not just what they're named.

The OCR on a stack of old scanned receipts was surprisingly fast, and the automation rules actually made sense without me reading a wall of docs. Keep the offline angle.

@ksulunhat24879 Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. If there are any future features that you would love to see let me know!

Searched for an old scanned receipt just by typing what it was about and it actually pulled it up, blew my mind. Offline only makes it even better.
Love that everything runs offline and the OCR actually pulls text from scanned PDFs properly, that's the part most local search tools kind of skip over. The automation rules sound like a nice touch too.

@emircandemtyvr For the people I was targeting to help, scanned PDFs were a big part, so I had to make sure it was perfect. I'm glad you didn't have any issues with it!
