Knowledge workers, researchers, lawyers, accountants, engineers and anyone with a large or disorganised local file archive on Windows. Also suited to privacy-sensitive work where documents cannot be uploaded to a cloud service.

About BeaconFind

BeaconFind is AI file search for Windows that runs entirely on your own machine. Press Ctrl+K and describe a file the way you would to a colleague, and it finds the document even when you cannot recall its name: "the rental contract with the deposit" finds scan0047.pdf.

Ordinary search matches literal keywords, so "salary" misses a payslip that says "compensation", and a scanned PDF has no text to match at all. BeaconFind indexes what files are about. It reads 70+ file types including PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, code and email, matches across 50+ languages so an English search finds a German document, and uses OCR to read text inside screenshots and scans. It also answers questions about your documents with citations and finds duplicates.

Every AI model runs locally. Files, their contents, your searches and the index stay on the machine, and there is no telemetry. Only a licence check and an update check reach our server, and both can be firewalled.
