Why not Spotlight?

Same query.
Different results.

Spotlight matches filenames and a few keywords. Huduko understands what's inside every file, by meaning. Here's the same search, side by side.

Features

One search bar.
All your stuff. Instantly.

Huduko understands what you mean — not just what you type. It indexes your files and photos and lets you find them with natural language.

Semantic search

Find a PDF about "quarterly financials" even if the document calls it "Q3 revenue review." Huduko searches by meaning.

Find photos by description

"Golden retriever in the snow." "Handwritten notebook." Huduko understands your photos without a single tag or caption.

Apple Photos, natively macOS

Huduko plugs directly into your Photos library via PhotoKit. Your full albums, moments, and memories — all searchable.

Every file type you use

PDFs, Word docs, Excel sheets, PowerPoint decks, Markdown, source code, CSVs, JSON — Huduko reads them all.

Instant, as you type

Results appear before you finish typing — typically in under a quarter of a second.

Always up to date

A background watcher sees new, changed, and deleted files the moment they happen. Your index is never stale.

Built for

Especially useful if you have…

Huduko shines when the system search runs out of answers — when the thing you're looking for lives inside a photo, a PDF, or buried in old notes.

50,000 photos you can't sort through

Find "the shot of the kids on the swing" or "handwritten notebook from the conference" — without tagging, sorting, or remembering what you named the file.

Years of PDFs, papers, and research

Invoices, tax returns, academic papers, contracts. Search by what the document is about — not whatever cryptic filename it was saved with.

Scattered notes across formats and folders

Markdown, Word exports, source code, messy subfolders of subfolders. Huduko ties them together by meaning so a single query finds what you wrote, wherever it lives.

Privacy by design

Your files never leave your machine.

Huduko runs entirely on‑device. The AI models, the index, and every byte of your data stay on your machine. No accounts. No uploads. Anonymous usage telemetry is on by default and can be turned off in Settings.

  • All embeddings computed locally — Apple Silicon, DirectML, or CPU
  • SQLite index stored in ~/.huduko/db
  • Works completely offline — airplane mode friendly
  • macOS build signed and notarized by Apple with hardened runtime
How it works

Simple on the outside.
Clever underneath.

Huduko quietly learns the shape of your files and photos in the background. When you search, it responds in milliseconds.

01

Watch

A tiny background service watches your Documents, Pictures, and Desktop for changes.

02

Understand

Local AI models read your text and look at your images — on Apple Silicon, a DirectML GPU, or CPU.

03

Index

Everything Huduko learns is stored in a compact index on your machine — private and offline.

04

Find

You type. Huduko merges semantic + keyword matches and ranks the best results first.
