XLSX
XLSX.com
Workbook Audit scans your file for the problems Excel never warns you about: broken formulas pointing at deleted cells, sheets someone hid three years ago, links to files nobody can find anymore, numbers stored as text that quietly break your totals. You get the exact cell address for every issue. No hunting through a 400-row sheet to find the one formula that's wrong. The scan runs entirely in your browser. Your file is never uploaded, never stored, never sent anywhere. Open the network tab and watch: zero requests. That's not a privacy policy, it's how the tool is built. Scanning is free and unlimited. No account, no email, no upload cap. Pro is $9 a month and does the tedious part for you: unhide every hidden sheet at once, strip out every external link, convert text-back-to-numbers in bulk, and export the whole report.

Users can run recording and AI notes entirely on-device with a local model to keep audio private, or connect an Ariso account for richer AI features. Every recorded meeting lands in a searchable library, making it possible to ask questions across meeting history and retrieve past decisions or commitments. Action items are collected in a dedicated Todos view instead of remaining buried in notes, and completing an item in the meeting notes can close it automatically.Starting Price: Free -
28
Linkly AI
Linkly AI
Linkly AI is an AI agent-first knowledge engine that turns the files already on your computer into a live, searchable context layer for AI assistants. It automatically parses and indexes notes, study materials, bookmarks, knowledge bases, recordings, meeting videos, images, e-books, and other local files so agents can search, compare, read, and dig through them without requiring users to curate a knowledge base by hand. Supported formats include PDF, Markdown, JPG, PNG, MOV, MP4, PPTX, TXT, WAV, DOCX, HTML, MP3, and EPUB. Each document receives an outline index that progressively exposes relevant sections, helping agents read large files with purpose instead of blindly loading everything. Cross-language semantic search uses a local multilingual model to search across hundreds of languages, while queries can return in under half a second. Data stays local by default, and third-party tools or models receive only the snippets they need rather than access to the original files.Starting Price: $29 per year -
