Free for Mac and Windows
Lookhound searches your photos, documents, code and apps by what they mean, not what they're called. Type a few words, or drop in a picture.
No account. No cloud. No subscription. Just a good dog.
How it works
“The blue logo.” “A function that handles login.” Use your own words, or drag in an image to find ones that look like it.
Small AI models running on your own computer read your files for meaning, so the file name doesn't have to match a single word you typed.
Click a result and it opens in Finder or File Explorer, already selected. No more digging through folders.
One search box
Find a picture by what's in it, or by showing it a similar one.
PDFs, Word files, notes and text, searched by what they say.
Describe what a piece of code does and land on the right file.
Find an app by name or purpose, or by dropping in its icon.
Looked after
“Good evening, Sam. What can I find for you?”
Lookhound greets you by name and keeps things calm, unhurried and quiet.
“Lately you looked for: tax forms, the blue logo.”
Your recent searches wait on the home screen, one tap away. They never leave your computer.
“New on your computer: invoice_march.pdf”
Fresh files show up the moment they land, so the thing you just saved is always easy to find.
Private by design
Everything happens on your own machine. Lookhound watches your folders quietly in the background, so new files are searchable the moment they appear.
