Personal Intelligence Layer · macOS

Your files contain years of thinking.
INDEX makes it accessible.

A local-first intelligence system that reads your body of work, maps your intellectual architecture, and surfaces what you need — before you ask. Runs entirely on your machine. Nothing leaves.

The problem

You have thousands of files. But you can't navigate them as a whole.

Knowledge workers accumulate files the way cities accumulate infrastructure — constantly expanding, rarely indexed, almost never understood as a whole. After years of work, the files are there. The intelligence locked inside them isn't accessible.

Spotlight finds the file. Notion organizes it. Obsidian links it. None of them know that the document from three years ago is the intellectual ancestor of the work happening today. None of them surface the pattern. None of them know what matters to you.

"The problem is not storage. The problem is surfacing. The intellectual architecture exists. It is simply invisible."

INDEX maps the connections between all of these
How it works

From raw files to mapped intelligence

Three layers of extraction. Each one deeper than anything you've had before.

Layer 01
Point & Scan

INDEX reads your files where they already live — no moves, no imports, no renames. Point it at a folder. It reads everything.

Layer 02
Extract & Connect

A local LLM runs on your machine, extracting summaries, entities, concepts, and intellectual threads from every document. Then it maps the connections between them.

Layer 03
Infer & Surface

INDEX infers your intellectual architecture automatically — your threads, projects, and frameworks — and scores everything against how you actually think. Not the average user.

Capabilities

Built different from every tool you've tried

Not a search engine. Not a file manager. Not a note-taking app. A cognitive prosthetic for your body of work.

Intelligence Mode
Scores by relevance to you,
not recency or popularity

Two modes, one database. Data Mode ranks by connection count. Intelligence Mode ranks by relevance to your inferred intellectual architecture — your threads, your projects, your entities.

Automatically inferred from your file archive
Scores update as you add more files
Override or refine — never required, always optional
Privacy-first
Every byte stays on
your machine

The LLM runs locally via Ollama. The database is SQLite on your disk. No external servers, no API calls for extraction, no subscription required. You could disconnect from the internet and nothing would change.

Local LLM via Ollama — auto-selected for your hardware
PII pseudonymized before any processing
Your data never becomes training data
Knowledge Graph
A living map of how
your ideas connect

Cross-file relationship mapping produces a graph that reflects the actual topology of your thinking — not just keyword co-occurrence. See the intellectual ancestor of your current work, three projects back.

Hub score identifies your highest-leverage documents
Zero switch cost
Your files, exactly
where they are

INDEX reads files in place. No migration, no import, no renaming. Works with Pages, Word, PDF, Markdown, Keynote, PowerPoint, Excel, RTF, HTML — the formats you already have.

Archive size is not a gate — value from the first file
Hardware auto-selection — confirm, never configure
Zero terminal exposure
The Brand Promise

Own your intelligence.

You wrote it. You should be able to use it. Your intelligence belongs to you — not to a platform, not to an AI company, not to a cloud.

Your files stay where they are

No moves, no renames, no imports. INDEX reads what you already have, in the formats you already use.

Your data stays on your machine

No cloud, no subscription, no external servers. Nothing you own becomes someone else's training data.

Your intelligence belongs to you

Switch the underlying model tomorrow and lose nothing. The graph, the extractions, the architecture — all yours.
