Search local filenames across all file formats. Text, OCR and meaning-related content search support PDF, PNG and JPEG files. Local OCR finds text in supported scans and images; an on-device AI model helps find related meaning. Other formats are searchable by filename, not their contents.
Nook brings on-device AI to Spotlight-style file search. It helps find related meaning inside supported PDF, PNG and JPEG files, alongside filename search across formats. Try expressions such as “passport”, “invoice PDFs” and “PDFs from last week”. Nook focuses on local files, not apps, system settings or web results; image search uses text, not arbitrary object recognition.
The intended first-release promise is: Internet required once for activation. File searching works offline. Accepted activation will be stored locally, with no recurring license checks. Purchase and activation will be online.
No. Nook is a one-time paid tool, with no trial or free search tier. The installer will be free to download once published, but both indexing and file searching require paid activation.
Nook’s file searching, OCR and meaning-related model are designed to run on your Mac, not in a cloud search service. Purchase and activation are separate online steps. Read the pre-release privacy notice for the distinction between the app and this website.
We’ll share supported macOS versions and hardware requirements alongside the installer. Those details are still being finalised, so we don’t want to guess.
