# ArchiveMind

Discover what's hiding on your hard drives.

## What it is

Maker-submitted description:

ArchiveMind is a private, local-first catalogue and search system for large collections of files across computers, folders, and external drives. It runs on your machine, indexes what you point it at, and keeps even unplugged drives searchable. Not an “AI file search app”. A catalogue you own, on hardware you own, honest about what it knows and what it doesn't. Indexing and search run entirely on your computer. No account, no cloud service, no telemetry, no auto-update. The catalogue is a file on your disk. Catalogue an external drive once and keep searching it after you eject it. ArchiveMind tells you plainly that originals open again when the drive returns. Metadata, extracted document text, image previews, duplicate relationships, audio waveforms — searchable together, ranked by relevance. Every result knows its source drive or folder and whether that source is connected right now. Your catalogue doubles as a map of what lives where. Reveal in Finder or Show in Explorer jumps from any result straight to the file on disk. ArchiveMind reads your files — it never moves, renames, or edits them. Missing tool? Offline drive? Format the player can't decode? ArchiveMind says so, plainly — no fake previews, no invented metadata, no silent failure. Real screenshots from a running copy — a demo library, so someone else's files aren't on display. “Beach sunset.” “Birthday party.” Visual search matches your words against what is in the picture — powered by an image-understanding model that ships inside the app and runs offline. Regular search covers the rest: names, folders, metadata, and the text inside documents, with honest “why this matched” explanations on every result.
