Fenn is a private, AI-powered file search engine for macOS. It indexes your files and lets you search across video, audio, PDFs, and more — semantically, visually, and instantly.
I have build Fenn because I was tired of the poor performance of Spotlight, the default file search engine on MacOS.
Now with Fenn, you can search and find anything inside video, audio, pdf and more !
So the next time you’re stuck, thinking “I know I saw that somewhere…”
You’ll find it in seconds.
Let me know what you think !
Sounds wonderful that it supports semantic searching! That really solves "I saw that somewhere..." moment. I'm curious how detailed and well semantic search works. Does it mean that Fenn can deal with queries like "find the part of a pdf file where Kevin(say, an author) talks about his home town"?
Congrats on launching Fenn! The ability to search across video, audio, PDFs, and more instantly is going to make file management on macOS so much easier!

@hyuntak_lee Absolutely! Yes, Fenn can handle that kind of query.
Fenn has different search intensity levels:
Low for fast, basic semantic search
Medium adds smarter filtering to reduce false positives
High goes deep — great for finding exactly what you want inside PDFs, videos, or anything else.
So you can pick the right level depending on how precise you need the results to be.
@thoddnn Wow that's amazing! Fenn is the very Spotlight I need. Thanks for the detailed explanation.
