Curator

Your files, made findable.

Curator turns your files into a searchable library you can chat with and let organize itself. Everything runs on your Mac, so nothing is ever uploaded.

   Core concepts

What Curator does

Local and private

Your files stay in a folder on your Mac or in your own cloud storage. The AI runs locally through Ollama, so nothing is sent out.

How it works

Search by meaning

Find a file by what it is about, not just its name. Semantic search reads your files so you do not have to remember exact words.

About search

Chat with your files

Ask questions and get answers grounded in your own documents, with links back to the files they came from.

About chat

Organize itself

Let Curator sort your files into smart clusters. The grouping is virtual, so your real files never move.
