The Lookhound dog

Free for Mac and Windows

Find it by describing it.

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

Say what you mean, find what you need.

i.

Describe it

“The blue logo.” “A function that handles login.” Use your own words, or drag in an image to find ones that look like it.

ii.

Lookhound understands

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.

iii.

Go straight there

Click a result and it opens in Finder or File Explorer, already selected. No more digging through folders.

One search box

Everything you keep, in one place.

Pictures

Photos

Find a picture by what's in it, or by showing it a similar one.

Writing

Documents

PDFs, Word files, notes and text, searched by what they say.

Code

Projects

Describe what a piece of code does and land on the right file.

Apps

Applications

Find an app by name or purpose, or by dropping in its icon.

Looked after

It takes care of the remembering.

“Good evening, Sam. What can I find for you?”

A warm hello

Lookhound greets you by name and keeps things calm, unhurried and quiet.

“Lately you looked for: tax forms, the blue logo.”

Remembers for you

Your recent searches wait on the home screen, one tap away. They never leave your computer.

“New on your computer: invoice_march.pdf”

Keeps watch

Fresh files show up the moment they land, so the thing you just saved is always easy to find.

Private by design

Your files never leave your computer.

Everything happens on your own machine. Lookhound watches your folders quietly in the background, so new files are searchable the moment they appear.

Ready when you are

Let Lookhound do the remembering.
