LocalSynapse
LocalSynapse
AI-powered local search for your files and email on Windows. Find anything by keyword or by meaning — and let your AI assistant read your documents and spreadsheets — all on your own machine.
Features
Hybrid search — full-text (BM25) and semantic (local AI embeddings) together, with first-class Korean/English handling.
Reads your formats — PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Hangul (HWP), CSV, Markdown, plain text, and more.
Faithful spreadsheets — Excel files are read with their structure intact: cell coordinates, merged ranges, and correct types (dates stay dates, numbers stay numbers). Large workbooks parse quickly, up to 25 MB.
Local email search — your mail in
.eml,.msg,.mbox, and exported mailbox JSON is searchable alongside your documents — by sender, subject, and body.Works with your AI — a built-in MCP server lets assistants like Claude search your index and read a faithful, structured view of your spreadsheets — locally, with source attribution.
Local-first & private — search, indexing, and AI embedding run on your machine, and your files and their content never leave your device.
