Search

Find it by what it says, not what it's called

Type what you remember — a name, a company, an amount, a rough date — and Unlost searches inside your files, not just their filenames.

Extract

Reads PDFs, scans, and photos alike

A local AI model and OCR pull keywords out of scanned contracts, handwritten notes, and photographed receipts — anything with words on it, in any file type.

Privacy

Nothing ever leaves your computer

Every model, every index entry, every search happens on-device. No cloud calls, no accounts, nothing uploaded — that's not a setting, it's how it's built.
