Semantic search that actually understands what you're looking for. Search by meaning, not just filenames — entirely offline and private.
Features
Built to be fast, private, and actually useful. No cloud, no accounts, no bloat.
Type what you mean, not what files are named. FileScope understands context and finds documents by their content and meaning.
Launch any installed application instantly. Start typing the app name and open it with a single keystroke — no more digging through menus.
All processing happens on your machine. Your files never leave your computer — no cloud, no telemetry, no data collection. Ever.
Why FileScope?
Windows Search matches keywords. FileScope understands what you're actually looking for.
Instant Access
