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

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, Markdown, source code, CSVs, JSON — Huduko reads them all, chunk by chunk.

Instant, as you type

Sub‑250ms hybrid search combining vector similarity with BM25 keyword precision. Answers appear before you finish typing.

Always up to date

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

Privacy by design

Your files never leave your Mac.

Huduko runs entirely on‑device. The AI models, the index, and every byte of your data stay on your machine. No accounts. No uploads. No telemetry. Ever.

  • All embeddings computed locally on Apple Silicon
  • SQLite index stored in ~/.huduko/db
  • Works completely offline — airplane mode friendly
  • Open source — audit every line yourself
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

BGE‑M3 embeds your text, CLIP embeds your images — both running locally.

03

Index

Vectors and keywords are stored in a hybrid SQLite + sqlite‑vec + FTS5 index.

04

Find

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