Emerged finds new products worth a look, daily — what’s new today
Spotlight needs a filename you have forgotten; this reads inside scans, recordings and video so a vague description lands you on the page, the moment or the line.
DigUp indexes what is actually inside your files and matches plain descriptions against it: photographs, PDFs including scans up to 5,000 pages, documents, audio and video, and, opt-in, source code. Results open at the right page, timestamp or line. The embedding model runs through llama.cpp on your own machine after a single 865 MB download; the only other traffic is a daily update check you can switch off. Mac needs Apple Silicon and installs by Homebrew cask; Windows and Linux sit at v0.7.0-beta.1, cannot read text in screenshots, and the Windows installer is unsigned. MIT, 4.2k stars.
