Fenn

Paid

Private AI that knows your files.

Fenn is a private file intelligence system for macOS that indexes the content inside your local files and lets you search, chat, and organize them without sending data to the cloud. It runs entirely on Apple Silicon, understands PDFs, Office documents, images, screenshots, audio, video, and code files, and opens results at the exact page, slide, timestamp, or frame. Users ask questions in plain language, refine answers in a chat thread, and jump straight to the source moments inside their files.

What is it

Fenn is an on-device AI file search and knowledge layer for macOS that turns your local folders into a searchable, queryable archive.

What it can do

It indexes 50+ file types, answers complex questions with citations, opens results at precise locations, auto-organizes folders, renames files by content, extracts structured data to CSV, and runs completely offline.

Who is it for

Mac power users, lawyers, researchers, finance and operations professionals, creatives, and anyone who needs to find answers inside a large, messy local file library while keeping data private.

Key Features

On-Device File Indexing — 100% Local and Private

All file processing, indexing, and AI inference happens on your Mac. Your files, index, and search history never leave the device, and the app works offline.

Universal File Search — 50+ Formats

Search inside PDFs, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Pages, Keynote, Adobe files, images, RAW photos, screenshots, MP3, WAV, MP4, MOV, MKV, Markdown, Python, TypeScript, and more.

Semantic, Keyword, Hybrid, and Exact Search Modes

Switch between semantic search for ideas, keyword search for exact phrases, hybrid for combined relevance, and exact mode for precision.

Agentic Search — Complex Criteria in Plain English

Ask constraint-based questions with amounts, dates, entities, and jurisdictions, such as invoices above a threshold or contracts with specific clauses, and get files opened at the matching lines.

Use Cases

Legal Contract Triage

Lawyers ask for NDAs with auto-renewal clauses, termination windows, or liability caps and open each contract directly at the relevant paragraph.

Finance and Audit Research

Analysts filter invoices by vendor, amount, and date, group transactions by project, and verify numbers against source PDFs without manual scrolling.

Research Paper Review

Researchers find figures, methods, and quotes across papers, compare findings across documents, and jump to the exact page or caption.

Meeting Recording Recall

Operators search transcripts and recordings for decisions, commitments, or risks and open playback at the precise minute.
