About Beaconfind Expand

BeaconFind is a Windows application designed for private AI file search. It allows users to locate files based on their content and meaning, rather than relying on filenames.

The AI operates entirely on the user's local machine, ensuring that files, their contents, and search queries remain private and offline. This on-device approach, combined with support for over 50 languages and the ability to search within images and documents, offers a specific and secure alternative to cloud-based search products.

BeaconFind is built with a focus on privacy by architecture, with minimal network calls for license and update checks, which can be firewalled.
